Flat tire

Practical hints
You can use the Premium tire sealant to
seal small punctures, particularly those in
the tire tread. Tire sealants can be used at
outside temperatures down to –22 °F
(–30 °C).
E Prepare the vehicle as described
(e page 253).
E Try to park the vehicle in such a way
that the tire puncture is close to the
ground. If the tire puncture cannot be
seen, park the vehicle in such a way
that the tire valve of the flat tire is in
horizontal alignment with the axle.
E It is beneficial to the sealing process if
you remove the foreign body that has
pierced the tire, for example the screw
or nail.
E Remove the Premium tire sealant, the
accompanying "max. 50 mph
(80 km/h)" sticker and the electric air
pump from the storage compartment in
the right-hand doorway (e page 208).
E Affix the sticker within the driver's field
of vision.
i The tire sealant is water-soluble. If tire seal-
ant escapes, you can wash it away with water.
