Tire repair set
Principle
With the tire repair set, minor tire damage
can be sealed temporarily to enable continued
driving.
General information

from the inside when it hardens.
▷ Follow the instructions on using the tire re-
pair set found on the compressor and seal-
ant bottle.
▷ The use of a tire repair set can be ineffec-
tive if the tire puncture measures above ap-
prox. 0.16 in/4 mm.

penetrated the tire. Remove foreign objects
only when they are visibly protruding from
the tire.

tire inflation pressure.
