The wheel must not be removed during repair.
Do not remove foreign bodies, e.g. screws or nails, from the tyre!

Used sealant or sealant whose expiry date has passed must be disposed of in
accordance with environmental protection regulations.

A new bottle of sealant can be purchased from ŠKODA Original Parts.
