Tyre repair set: Check bottle for damage
and if used; check date of tyre sealant
The tyre repair set is located in the spare wheel well -arrow-
The tyre repair set consists of the compressor and a filler bottle
with tyre sealant.
Note
♦
The tyre sealant in the bottle has a limited expiry date.
♦
Therefore the expiry date is indicated on the bottle -arrow-.
This example shows that the expiry date 05/2003 has been ex‐
ceeded, then the bottle has to be renewed.
– Check the expiry date.
– Renew tyre sealant if the expiry date has been reached.
Caution
♦ The tyre sealant must not be more than 4 years old.
♦ When the bottle has been opened e.g. at a "flat tyre", it
has also to be renewed.
Note
♦
Residual tyre sealant or bottles which are filled and the expiry
date has been exceeded, must be disposed of.
♦
Old tyre sealant or residual sealant must not be mixed and
disposed of with other fluids.
♦
Observe disposal regulations!
