VEHICLE CARE
Tire Inflator Kit
The kit contains an electrical pump and
tire sealant bottle which is secured with
straps to the right-hand side of the rear
luggage compartment. Minor damage
to the tread of the tire can be repaired
using the tire repair kit.
WARNING: Use of the sealant is
not a permanent repair but will
allow the vehicle to be driven to
the nearest tire depot. At the
earliest opportunity, the tire
should be repaired or replaced.
Until then the car should be driven
only in a moderate manner, not
exceeding 50 mph as steering and
handling may be affected.
NOTE: Do not remove foreign
bodies from the tire.
WARNING: Extensive damage to
the tread or any damage to the
tire sidewall or wheel cannot be
repaired using the repair kit.
CAUTION: If possible, avoid
driving on a deflated tire to avoid
irreparable damage to the tire.
