Do not drive faster than 80 km/h, avoid heavy acceleration, hard
braking and fast cornering.

Tyres which have been repaired with sealing compound are only suit-
able for temporary use over a short period. Therefore, please drive carefully
to the next available specialised workshop.

If you have to dispose of a sealant can, go to a specialised waste service or to
a SEAT Technical Service, where the product can be recycled in an appropriate
