Correcting the tire inflation pressure
1. Stop at a suitable location.
2. Screw the connection hose of the com‐
pressor directly onto the tire valve stem.
If a tire inflation pressure of 2 bar is not
reached:
3. Insert the connector into the power socket
inside the vehicle.
1. Switch off the compressor.
4. Correct the tire inflation pressure to
2.5 bar.
2. Unscrew the filling hose from the wheel.
3. Drive 33 ft/10 m forward and back to dis‐
tribute the sealant in the tire.
▷
Increase pressure: with the ignition
turned on or the engine running, switch
on the compressor.
4. Inflate the tire again using the compressor.

Fine-link snow chains
The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends
use of fine-link snow chains. Certain types of
fine-link snow chains have been tested by the
manufacturer of the vehicle and recommended
as road-safe and suitable.
