Sealing tyres using the TIREFIT kit
Useful information
TIREFIT is a tyre sealant. TIREFIT is used to
seal punctures of up to 4 mm, particularly
those in the tyre tread, at outside tempera-
tures of up to
-20 †.
The tyre sealant is pumped into the tyre.
Please note
G
WARNING
In the following situations, the tyre seal-
ant is unable to provide sufficient break-
down
assistance,
as it is unable to seal the
tyre properly:
R
there are cuts or punctures in the tyre
larger than those mentioned above.
R
the wheel rim is damaged.
R
you have driven at very low tyre pressures
or on a flat tyre.
There is a risk of an accident.
Do not drive any further. Contact a quali-
fied specialist workshop.
G
WARNING
The tyre sealant is harmful and causes irri-
tation. It must not come into contact with
your
skin,
eyes or clothing or be swallowed.
Do not inhale TIREFIT fumes. Keep tyre
sealant away from children. There is a risk
of injury.
If you come into contact with the tyre seal-
ant, observe the following:
R
Rinse off the tyre sealant from your skin
immediately with water.
R
If the tyre sealant comes into contact
with your eyes, immediately rinse them
thoroughly with clean water.
R
If tyre sealant is swallowed, immediately
rinse your mouth out thoroughly and
drink plenty of water. Do not induce vom-
iting, and seek medical attention imme-
diately.
R
Immediately change out of clothing
which has come into contact with tyre
sealant.
R
If an allergic reaction occurs, seek med-
ical attention immediately.
G
WARNING
A tyre temporarily sealed with tyre sealant
impairs
the
driving characteristics and is
not suitable for higher speeds. There is a
risk of accident.
You should therefore adapt your driving
style accordingly and drive carefully. Do
not exceed the specified maximum speed
with a tyre that has been repaired using
tyre sealant.

Environmental note
