Tyre repair
Tyre sealant
Your vehicle has no spare tyre. Instead, you
have been provided with a tyre sealant
aerosol located in the storage space
beneath the trunk floor.
The tyre sealant contains liquid latex and a
propellant. When injected into the tyre
through the valve, the liquid latex
penetrates the puncture site and cures to
form a temporary repair. At the same time
the propellant inflates the tyre, allowing
you to drive the vehicle at low speed to
reach a tyre repair facility.
Note:
The kit can only be used to repair
small punctures in the tread. In the event
of side wall or severe tread damage
(punctures larger than 5 mm), ripped
tyres or tyres that have come off the rim,
seek assistance from a breakdown service.
You are advised to have the tyre repaired
or replaced as soon as possible.
Caution: Do not drive on a deflated
tyre as this can cause serious
damage to the wheel and the vehicle. If
the tyre is too badly damaged, call
Roadside Assistance to have the vehicle
transported to a repair facility.
Safety precautions
WARNING: Under no circumstances
should speeds of 48 km/h (30 mph)
be exceeded while driving with a repaired
tyre.
▲
WARNING: Never drive with a
deflated tyre, vehicle handling and
braking will be compromised.

sealant before starting a repair. Follow the
directions on the aerosol exactly and pay

If swallowed, do not induce vomiting.
Seek medical assistance immediately.
•
If inhaled, breathe fresh air. If breathing

If the sealant comes into contact with
the eyes, immediately flush the eyes
with water. If irritation persists, seek
medical assistance.

WARNING: Store the tyre sealant in
its correct location in the trunk.
Temperatures in other locations may
exceed safe storage conditions. Never
