If tyre pressure is more than

1.3 bar, set it to the correct value.

Repeat the procedure until there

is no more loss of pressure.

If the tyre pressure has fallen

below 1.3 bar, the vehicle must

not be used. Seek the assistance

of a workshop.

compartment.

Note

The driving characteristics of the

repaired tyre is severely affected,

therefore have this tyre replaced.

If unusual noise is heard or the

compressor becomes hot, turn

compressor off for at least 30

minutes.

The built-in safety valve opens at a

pressure of 7 bar.

Note the expiry date of the kit. After

this date its sealing capability is no

longer guaranteed. Pay attention to

storage information on sealant

bottle.

Replace the used sealant bottle.

Dispose of the bottle as prescribed

by applicable laws.

The compressor and sealant can be

used from approx. -30 °C.

The adapters supplied can be used

to pump up other items e.g.

footballs, air mattresses, inflatable

dinghies etc. They are located on the

underside of the compressor. To

remove, screw on compressor air

hose and withdraw adapter.

Wheel changing

Some vehicles are equipped with a

tyre repair kit instead of a spare wheel

3 193.

Make the following preparations and

observe the following information:

■ Park the vehicle on a level, firm and

non-skid surface. The front wheels

must be in the straight-ahead

position.

■ Apply the parking brake and

engage first gear, reverse gear or

P.

■ Remove the spare wheel 3 198.

■ On the Astra TwinTop, the roof

must be closed before the vehicle

is raised.

■ Never change more than one wheel

at once.

■ Use the jack only to change wheels

in case of puncture, not for

seasonal winter or summer tyre

change.

■ If the ground on which the vehicle

is standing is soft, a solid board

(max. 1 cm thick) should be placed

under the jack.

■ No people or animals may be in the

vehicle when it is jacked-up.

■ Never crawl under a jacked-up

vehicle.

■ Do not start the vehicle when it is

raised on the jack.

■ Before screwing in the wheel bolts,

clean them and lightly coat the

taper of each wheel bolt with

commercially available grease.
