Avoid sudden acceleration or braking.
The TireKit provides a temporary repair,
therefore the tire must be examined
and repaired by a specialist as soon
as possible. Before using the TireKit,
make sure that the tire isn't excessively
damaged and that the rim is in good
condition, otherwise do not use it and
call roadside assistance. Do not remove
foreign bodies from the tire. Do not let the
compressor turned on for more than 20
consecutive minutes - overheating hazard.
307) Damage to the sides of the tire
cannot be repaired. Do not attempt to use
the TireKit if the tire was damaged as a
result of being used when deflated.
308) Wear the protective gloves provided
with the TireKit.
309) Apply the sticker where it can be
easily seen by the driver as a reminder
that the tire has been treated with the
TireKit. Drive carefully, especially on
corners. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Avoid
sudden acceleration or braking.
310)
Repairs are not possible in the case
of damage to the wheel rim (bad groove
distortion causing air loss). Do not remove
the foreign body (screws or nails) from the
tyre.
311) Do not use the compressor for more
than 20 minutes at a time. Danger
of overheating. The TireKit is not
designed to carry out permanent repairs.

must only be used temporarily.
312) As required by current regulations,
the information on chemical substances
for the protection of human health and
the environment and on the safe use of
the sealing fluid are on the packaging
label. Compliance with the indications
on the label is an essential condition to
ensure the safety and the effectiveness
of the product. Remember to carefully
read the label before use; the user of the
product is responsible for any damages
caused by improper use. The sealing fluid
has an expiration date. Replace the bottle
if the sealant has expired.
313) If the pressure falls below 1.8 bar,
do not drive any further: the TireKit
cannot guarantee proper seal because
the tire is too damaged. Contact a Jeep
Dealership for any such operations.
314) The TireKit provides a temporary
repair, therefore the tire must be
examined and repaired by a specialist as
soon as possible.
315) Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights,
warning triangle, etc. Any passengers on
board should leave the car, especially if
it is heavily laden. Passengers should
stay away from on-coming traffic while
the wheel is being changed. On hills or
