How to manage low tire pressure or a flat tire

Model: Renault Clio Clio V, Clio 5 - Years 2019-2026

In this video we listen to some sensible advice, aimed at Renault Clio owners but certainly valid for any type of vehicle. First of all, if we pick up a nail or something sharp, do not remove it from the tire, as it will definitely deflate. Instead, go to the nearest tire shop. Do not attempt to drive with the tire flat as it will only damage the rim and make the tire unusable. If the hole is small and on the tread, we can try to repair it with the inflation kit, consisting of the compressor and the container full of sealant. The first thing to do is to position the wheels so that the hole is at the bottom. Then, screw the sealant to the compressor and connect the compressor to the tire valve, and the compressor to the 12 Volt outlet. During the inflation operation, the engine must remain on to avoid draining the battery. When the gauge reaches the required pressure, disconnect the compressor and close the valve. The information regarding the pressure to adjust the tire to can be found in the driver's door thickness. Drive for 4/5 kilometers at no more than 80 km/h and recheck the tire pressure. This is only to get you to the nearest tire shop. You can drive a maximum of 200 kilometers with the tire repaired in this way.
