Safety precautions
▷ Park the vehicle as far away as possible
from passing traffic and on solid ground.

▷ Secure the vehicle against rolling away by
setting the parking brake.
▷ Turn the steering wheel until the front
wheels are in the straight-ahead position
and engage the steering wheel lock.

make sure that they remain outside the
hazardous area such as behind a guardrail.
▷ If necessary, set up a warning triangle at an
appropriate distance.
Tire repair set
Principle
With the tire repair set, minor tire damage
can be sealed temporarily to enable continued
driving.
General information
▷ To enable continued driving, liquid sealant
is pumped into the tire, which hardens and
seals the damage from the inside.
▷ Follow the instructions on using the tire re-
pair set found on the compressor and seal-
ant bottle.
▷ The use of a tire repair set can be ineffec-
tive if the tire puncture measures above ap-
prox. 0.16 in/4 mm.
▷ Contact an authorized service center or an-
other qualified service center or repair shop
if the tire cannot be made drivable.
▷ Do not remove foreign objects that have
penetrated the tire. Remove foreign objects
only when they are visibly protruding from
the tire.
▷ Detach the speed limit sticker from the
sealant bottle and apply it to the steering
wheel.
▷ The use of a sealing compound can dam-
age the wheel electronics. In this case,
have the electronics checked and replaced
at the next opportunity.
▷ The compressor can be used to check the
tire inflation pressure.
Overview
Storage
The storage for the tire repair set is provided in
