Attach the sticker in the driver's field of vision. Immediately proceed with a trip to the sealant evenly distributed within the tire. About 10 kilometers (not later than 10 minutes) stop and check the tire pressure. To do this, screw air compressor hose directly to the tire valve (see Fig. 1.272).

NOTE If pressure in bus than 1,3 bar, turn down his to setpoint. Repeat the process until such time as there is no fixed pressure loss. If the tire pressure has fallen below 1,3 bar, go on a car can not. Ask for help at service stations.

To check the oil level plug grated masloizmeritelny probe to the hard surface on the handle. Top up the oil, if its level dropped in the region mark refueling MIN (Fig. 1.274). The oil level should not exceed the upper mark MAX oil level gauge. Transfused oil drain or pump out. If the oil level exceeds the MAX mark, there is a risk of engine damage or a catalyst. Oil should be topped up with the same brand that was used in the previous oil change, observing the instructions in the service book. Position the plug and tighten it until it stops.
