General information
WARNINGS
Depending on the type and
extent of tyre damage, some
tyres can only be partially sealed or
not sealed at all. Loss of tyre
pressure can affect vehicle handling,
leading to loss of vehicle control.
Do not use the tyre repair kit if
the tyre has already been
damaged as a result of being driven
under inflated.
Do not try to seal damage other
than that located within the
visible tread of the tyre.
Do not try to seal damage to the
tyre’s sidewall.
The tyre repair kit seals most tyre
punctures [with a diameter of up to
six millimetres (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 manoeuvres,
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 tyre
dealer, or to drive a maximum
distance of 200 kilometres
(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 –30°C
(-22°F) and +70°C (+158°F).
Using the tyre repair kit
WARNINGS
Compressed air can act as an
explosive or propellant.
Never leave the tyre repair kit
unattended while in use.
CAUTION
Do not keep the compressor
operating for more than 10
minutes.
Note:
Use the tyre repair 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 tyre.
