Before using the kit, park
the vehicle at a sufficient
distance from traffic,
switch on the hazard
warning lights, apply the parking
brake, ask all passengers to leave
the vehicle and keep them away
from traffic.
If the vehicle is parked
on the hard shoulder,
you must warn other
road users of your
vehicle's presence with a warning
triangle or with other devices as
per the legislation applying to the
country you are in.
Oncethetyreiscorrectlyinflated,re-
movethekit:slowlyunscrewtheinfla-
tion adapter from the container 2 to
prevent any product spatter, then store
the container in plastic packaging to
prevent the product from leaking.

order to seal the hole.
