You can use the breakdown set (tyre mobility set) to safely seal any tyre damage caused by foreign bodies or punctures (up to 4 mm in
diameter). Do not remove foreign objects (e.g. screws or nails) from the tyre!
Once the sealant has been added to the tyre, the tyre pressure must be checked again after approximately 10 minutes of driving.
Seek expert assistance if more than one vehicle tyre is damaged. The breakdown set is only designed for filling
one
tyre.
Only use breakdown set to fill a tyre if the car is parked in a safe place, you are familiar with the necessary actions and safety procedures and
you have access to all the correct tools. Seek expert assistance if this is not the case.
The tyre sealant must not be used:
If the rim is damaged.
If the outside temperature is below -20°C (-4°F).
If there are cuts or punctures in the tyre that are larger than 4 mm.
If the tyre pressure is very low or the tyres are flat.
If the use-by date on the sealant has expired.
In connection with mobility tyres. The word Seal appears on the outer wall of the tyre if your vehicle is fitted with mobility tyres.
Dispose of used or out-of-date sealant in accordance with legal requirements.
You can get new sealant from a Volkswagen dealership.
Using the breakdown set can be dangerous, especially if the tyres are inflated at the roadside. Please note the following steps in order to
reduce the risk of serious injuries:
Stop the vehicle as soon as it is possible and safe to do so. Park the vehicle at a safe distance from moving traffic in order to fill the tyre.
Check that the surface the vehicle is parked on is level and firm.
All passengers, and children in particular, must be at a safe distance and away from your area of work.
Switch on the hazard warning lights to warn other road users.
The breakdown set should only be used if you feel confident with carrying out the procedure. If not, seek expert assistance.
Tyres repaired with the breakdown set are intended for temporary, emergency use only. They should only be used until you can reach the
nearest qualified workshop.
Tyres that have been repaired using the breakdown set should be replaced as soon as possible.
Sealant is hazardous to health and must be washed off immediately if it gets onto the skin.
The breakdown set must be stored out of the reach of children.
Never use a vehicle jack, even if it is approved for the vehicle.
Always switch off the engine, switch on the electronic parking brake and move the selector lever to the position P or select a gear on a
manual gearbox in order to reduce the risk of unintended vehicle movement.
WARNING
Tyres that have been filled with sealant will not handle in the same way as a standard tyre.
Never drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph).
Avoid full acceleration, sudden braking and fast driving through bends in the road.
Drive for just 10 minutes at no more than 80 km/h (50 mph) and then check the tyre.
