What to do in an emergency
287
Introduction
With the Tyre Mobility Kit (TMK) you
stay mobile even after experiencing a
tyre puncture.
The system of compressor and seal-
ing compound effectively and com-
fortably seals most punctures in a
passenger car tyre caused by nails or
similar objects and reinflates the tyre.
After you ensured that the tyre is
properly sealed you can drive cau-
tiously on the tyre (up to 200 km (120
miles)) at a max. speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph) in order to reach a vehicle or
tyre dealer to have the tyre replaced.
It is possible that some tyres, espe-
cially with larger punctures or dam-
age to the sidewall, cannot be sealed
completely.
Air pressure loss in the tyre may
adversely affect tyre performance.
For this reason, you should avoid
abrupt steering or other driving
manoeuvres, especially if the vehicle
is heavily loaded or if a trailer is in
use.
The TMK is not designed or intended
as a permanent tyre repair method
and is to be used for one tyre only.
This instruction shows you step by
step how to temporarily seal the
puncture simply and reliably.
Read the section "Notes on the safe
use of the TMK".

WARNING
Do not use the TMK if a tyre is
severely damaged by driving
run flat or with insufficient air
pressure.
Only punctured areas located
within the tread region of the
tyre can be sealed using the
TMK.
