Introduction
With the Tire Mobility Kit (TMK) you
stay
mobile even after experiencing a
tire puncture.
The system of compressor and sealing
compound effectively and comfortably
seals most punctures in a passenger
car tire caused by nails or similar ob‐
jects and reinflates the tire.
After you ensured that the tire is prop‐
erly sealed you can drive cautiously on
the tire (up to 200 km (120 miles)) at a
max. speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) in or‐
der to reach a vehicle or tire dealer to
have the tire replaced.
It is possible that some tires, especially
with
larger punctures or damage to the
sidewall, cannot be sealed completely.
Air pressure loss in the tire may ad‐
versely affect tire performance.
For this reason, you should avoid
abrupt steering or other driving ma‐
neuvers, especially if the vehicle is
heavily loaded or if a trailer is in use.
The TMK is not designed or intended as
a permanent tire repair method and is
to be used for one tire 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” on page 7-25.
WARNING
Do not use the TMK if a tire is se‐
v
erely damaged by driving run flat or
with insufficient air pressure.
Only punctured areas located within
the tread region of the tire can be
sealed using the TMK.
