TEMPORARY MOBILITY KIT
Your vehicle may not have a spare tire.
Therefore you will have an emergency kit
which will only repair one flat tire.
The kit is located in the spare wheel well.
General information
WARNINGS
Depending on the type and extent of
tire damage, some tires can only be
partially sealed or not sealed at all.
Loss of tire pressure can affect vehicle
handling, leading to loss of vehicle control.
Do not use the kit on a previously
damaged tire, for example when it
has been driven under inflated.
Do not use the kit on run flat tires.
Do not try to seal damage to the
tire’s sidewall.
The kit seals most tire punctures [with a
diameter of up to six millimeters (1/4
inch)] to temporarily restore mobility.
Observe the following rules when using the
kit:
• Drive with caution and avoid making
sudden steering or driving maneuvres,
especially if the vehicle is heavily
loaded or you are towing a trailer.
• The kit will provide you with an
emergency temporary repair, enabling
you to continue your journey to the next
vehicle or tire dealer, or to drive a
maximum distance of 200 kilometers
(125 miles).
• Do not exceed a maximum speed of
80 km/h (50 mph).
• Keep the kit out of the reach of
children.
• Only use the kit when the ambient
temperature is between –40°C
(-40°F) and +70°C (+158°F).
Using the kit
WARNINGS
Compressed air can act as an
explosive or propellant.
Never leave the kit unattended while
in use.
CAUTION
Do not keep the compressor operating
for more than 10 minutes.
Note: Use the kit only for the vehicle with
which it was supplied.
• Park your vehicle at the roadside so
that you do not obstruct the flow of
traffic and so that you are able to use
the kit without being in danger.
• Apply the parking brake, even if you
have parked on a level road, to make
sure that the vehicle will not move.
• Do not attempt to remove foreign
objects like nails or screws penetrating
the tire.
• Leave the engine running while the kit
is in use, but not if your vehicle is in an
enclosed or poorly ventilated area (for
example, inside a building). In these
circumstances, switch the compressor
on with the engine turned off.
