How to Use the Inflation Kit in Case of a Puncture

Model: Kia Sportage SL, MK 3 - Years 2010-2016
Part: Wheel

Many manufacturers now equip their vehicles with an inflation kit instead of a spare wheel and the associated tool kit, offering it as an accessory; the inflation kit is effective only in the case of a puncture and not in the event of tyre failure (for example, due to a pothole); the kit includes a compressor and a canister of a special liquid for internally repairing the puncture; proceed by screwing the canister into the designated slot on the compressor, then connect the compressor's power cable to the cigarette lighter socket and attach the hose to the wheel valve; activate the compressor: during inflation, it is advisable to keep the car's engine running to avoid draining the battery; at the end of inflation, check the pressure with the appropriate gauge and disconnect the compressor.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
