Tyre repair
TMS (Tyre Mobility System) puncture
repair kit
The puncture repair kit (Tyre Mobility System)
will reliably seal punctures caused by the pen-
etration of a foreign body of up to about 4 mm
in diameter. Do not remove foreign objects,
e.g. screws or nails, from the tyre.
After inserting the sealant residue in the tyre,
you must again check the tyre pressure about
10 minutes after starting the engine.
You should only use the tyre mobility set if the
vehicle is parked in a safe place, you are famil-
iar with the procedure and you have the nec-
essary tyre mobility set. Otherwise, you should
seek professional assistance.
Tyre sealant must not be used in the follow-
ing cases:
●
If the wheel rim has been damaged.
●
In outside temperatures below -20°C (-4°F).
●
If the cut or punctures in the tyres are larger
than 4 mm.
●
If the tyre has been driven on with very low
inflation pressure or no tyre pressure.
●
If the expiry date of the sealant bottle has
passed.
WARNING
Using the puncture repair kit can be danger-
ous, particularly when filling the tyre on the
roadside. To reduce the risk of serious injury,
consider the following:
●
Stop the vehicle as soon as possible in a
safe place. Park it at a safe distance from
road trac to fill the tyres.
●
Make sure the ground is flat and firm.
●
All occupants, especially children, should
stay a safe distance away from the work
area.
●
Turn on the hazard lights to warn other
road users.
●
Always switch
o the engine and activate
the electronic parking brake to reduce the
risk of accidental vehicle movement.
–
Vehicles with automatic transmission:
switch on the parking lock P.
–
Vehicles with manual transmission: en-
gage a gear.
●
Use the puncture repair kit only if you are
familiar with the necessary operations. Oth-
erwise, you should seek professional assis-
tance.
●
The puncture repair kit should only be
used in an emergency, to reach the nearest
garage.
●
Replace tyres repaired with the puncture
kit as soon as possible.
●
The sealant is harmful to health and must
be cleaned o immediately if it comes into
contact with the skin.
●
Always keep the puncture repair kit out of
the reach of children.
WARNING
A tyre
filled with sealant does not have the
same driving properties as a conventional
tyre.
