What to do in an emergency If you have a flat tire (with Tire Mobility Kit)
WARNING
Tire wall
Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit to
repair large punctures or damage to
the tire sidewalls. In these situa
-
tions, the tire cannot be sealed
completely and air will leak from the
tire. This can result in tire failure.
WARNING
Have your tire repaired as soon as
possible. The tire may loose air
pressure at any time after inflating
with the Tire Mobility Kit.
WARNING
Speed with temporary fix
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h) when driving with a tire
sealed with the Tire Mobility Kit.
While driving, if you experience any
unusual vibration, ride disturbance,
or noise, reduce your speed and
drive with caution until you can
safely pull off to the side of the
road.
Introduction
With the Tire Mobility Kit you stay
mobile even after experiencing a tire
puncture.
The system of compressor and
sealing compound effectively seals
most punctures in a passenger car
tire caused by nails or similar
objects and reinflates the tire.
After you ensured that the tire is
properly sealed you can drive cau
-
tiously on the tire at a max. speed
of 50 mph (80 km/h) in order to
reach a service station or tire dealer
to have the tire replaced as soon as
possible.
It is possible that some tires, espe
-
cially with larger punctures or dam
-
age to the sidewall, cannot be
sealed completely.
Air pressure loss in the tire may
adversely affect tire performance.
For this reason, you should avoid
abrupt steering or other driving
maneuvers, especially if the vehicle
is heavily loaded or if a trailer is in
use.
