Use the breakdown kit to reliably repair tyre damage caused by foreign bodies or
a puncture with diameters up to approx. 4 mm.
A repair made using the breakdown kit
is never intended to replace
a permanent
repair on the tyre. Its purpose is to get you to the nearest specialist garage.
The repair can be undertaken on the vehicle immediately.
Do not remove foreign bodies
, e.g. screws or nails, from the tyre.
The breakdown kit must not be used under the following circumstances.
›
There is damage to the rim.
›
The outside temperature is less than -20 °C.
›
The tears or punctures are greater than 4 mm in size.
›
There is damage to the tyre wall.
›
Driving with very low tyre pressure or with a completely flat tyre.
›
If the use-by-date (see inflation bottle) has passed.
WARNING
■
A tyre filled with sealant has the same driving characteristics as a standard
tyre.
■
Do not travel faster than 80 km/h.
■
Avoid accelerating at full throttle, sharp braking and fast cornering.
■
Check the tyre pressure after driving for 10 minutes.
■
The sealant is hazardous to heath. Remove immediately if it comes into con-
tact with the skin.
For the sake of the environment
Used sealant or sealant whose expiry date has passed must be disposed of in ac-
cordance with environmental protection regulations.
Note
Immediately replace the tyre that was repaired using the breakdown kit, or con-
sult a specialist garage about repair options.
