In an Emergency
In case of a Punctured Tire
The vehicle is equipped with a tire repair
kit.
WARNING!
An unsecured or incorrectly positioned
load increases the risk of injury during
sharp braking, a sudden change of
direction or an accident.
Using Tire Repair Kit
Small punctures up to 1:4" (6 mm) in
the tire tread can be sealed using the
tire repair kit, fitted in the front luggage
compartment.
The kit consists of two parts:
• an electric compressor with pressure
gauge and power cable;
•
a bottle containing sealant with hose to
be connected to the punctured tire.
NOTE:
For the tire repair procedures with tire
repair kit see instructions included in the
kit.
This kit will provide a temporary tire seal,
allowing you to drive your vehicle up to 6
miles (10 km) with a maximum speed of
50 MPH (80 km/h).
CAUTION!
•
Intruding objects (e.g., screws or nails)
should not be removed from the tire,
which could compromise the repair
with the tire repair kit.
•
Do not use the tire repair kit if the tire
shows lateral damages and/or the rim
is damaged by driving with flat tire.
•
Tire repair kit can be used in outside
temperatures down to approximately -
4°F (-20°C).
•
Replace the tire repair kit sealant bottle
prior to the expiration date (printed on
the bottle label) to assure optimum
operation of the system.
NOTE:
• The compressor power plug can
be inserted in the 12 V power
outlet housed in the front luggage
compartment (see “Internal Equipment”
in section “Understanding the
Vehicle”).
• When having the tire serviced, advise
the Authorized Maserati Dealer that
the tire has been sealed using the tire
repair kit.
