WARNING
After repairing a tyre please note the following points:
● Do not drive faster than 80 km/h.
● Avoid heavy acceleration, hard braking and fast cornering.
● Vehicle handling could be impaired.
● Tyres which have been sealed using the Tyre Mobility System are only
suitable for temporary use over a short period.
● After using the tyre sealant the tyre pressure monitoring system* may
malfunction. Therefore, please drive carefully to the next available quali-
fied workshop.
● The Tyre Mobility System must NOT be used:
– If the cuts and punctures on the tyre are longer or wider than
4 mm.
– if the wheel rim has been damaged.
– if you have been driving with very low pressure or a completely flat
tyre.
● Seek professional assistance if the repair of a tyre puncture is not
possible with the sealing compound.
WARNING (Continued)
● Do not allow the sealant to come into contact with your eyes, skin or
clothing.
● If you do come into contact with the sealant immediately rinse the
eyes or skin affected with clean water.
● Change clothing immediately if it becomes soiled with the tyre seal-
ant.
● Make sure you do not breathe in the fumes!
● If any of the tyre sealant is accidentally ingested, immediately rinse
the mouth thoroughly and drink lots of water.

● If any allergic reactions should occur get medical help immediately.
● Keep the sealant away from children.
For the sake of the environment
If you have to dispose of a sealant can, go to a specialised waste service or
to a SEAT Technical Service, where the product can be recycled in an appro-
priate waste container.
Note
● If sealant should leak out, leave it to dry. This way you can pull it off like
a piece of foil.
● Observe the expiry date stated on the sealing compound can. Have the
sealing compound exchanged by a specialised workshop.
