What to do in an emergency If you have a flat tire (with Tire Mobility Kit)
Introduction
With the Tire Mobility Kit you stay
mobile even after experiencing a tire
puncture.
The system of compressor and
seal
ing compound effectively seals
most punctures in a passenger car
tire caused by nails or similar
objects and reinflates the tire.
After you ensured that the tire is
pr
operly sealed you can drive cau
-
tiously on the tire at a max. speed
of 50 mph (80 km/h) in order to
reach a service station or tire dealer
to have the tire replaced as soon as
possible.
It is possible that some tires, espe
-
cially with larger punctures or dam
-
age to the sidewall, cannot be
sealed completely.
Air pressure loss in the tire may
adve
rsely affect tire performance.
For this reason, you should avoid
abrupt steering
or other driving
maneuvers, especially if the vehicle
is heavily loaded or if a trailer is in
use.
The Tire Mobility Kit is not designed
or inten
ded as a permanent tire
repair method and is to be used for
one tire only.
This instruction shows you step by
st
ep procedure to temporarily seal
the puncture.
Read the section "Notes on the safe
use
of the Tire Mobility Kit".
