KNOWING YOUR CAR

IN AN

EMERGENCY

❒

Park the vehicle at the side of the
road without hindering the traffic
flow, to use the kit without any
hazard.

❒

In order to ensure stability to the
vehicle, engage the parking brake,
even if the vehicle is not on roads
with a gradient.

❒

Do not try and remove foreign
bodies puncturing the tyre, such
as nails or screws.

❒

Leave the engine running while using
the kit only if the vehicle is outdoors
and not in a poorly ventilated place
(for example, within a building).
In this case, instead, start the
compressor with the engine off.

❒

Replace the sealant bottle with
a new one before the expiry date
(see bottle cap).

❒

Inform all vehicle users that the tyre
has been temporarily repaired with
the suitable kit and that special
driving caution must be used.

Check the tyre shoulder
before inflating it. Do not

try and inflate the tyre if it is
cracked, bulged or damaged.

WARNING

While the compressor
is operating, do not stand

in front of the tyre.

WARNING

Check the tyre shoulder.
Should cracking, bulging

or damage appear, switch
the compressor off and let
the air bleed through the safety
valve. Stop driving with this tyre.

WARNING

Should the tyre pressure
not reach 1.8 bar (26 psi)

in 10 minutes, the tyre may be
damaged in such a way that no
temporary repair is possible. In this
case, stop driving with this tyre.

WARNING

The sealant contains
natural rubber latex.

Avoid contact with skin and
clothes. In case of contact rinse
immediately with plenty of water
and call a doctor.
