your hand. WARNING
Have the wheel nuts checked for
tightness and the tyre pressure
checked as soon as possible.
Note:If the spare wheel is different in size
or construction to the road wheels, have this replaced as soon as possible.
TYRE REPAIR KIT
Your vehicle is not equipped with a spare
tyre, but does include an emergency tyre
repair kit that can be used to repair one
flat tyre.
The tyre repair kit is located in the
underfloor storage compartment. See
Storage compartments (page 98).
General information WARNINGS
Depending on the type and extent
of tyre damage, some tyres can
only be partially sealed or not sealed
at all. Loss of tyre pressure can affect
vehicle handling, leading to loss of vehicle
control. Do not use the tyre repair kit if the
tyre has already been damaged as
a result of being driven under
inflated. Do not use the tyre repair kit on run
flat tyres.
Do not try to seal damage other
than that located within the visible
tread of the tyre.
Do not try to seal damage to the
tyre’s sidewall. The tyre repair kit seals most tyre
punctures [with a diameter of up to six
millimetres (1/4 inch)] to temporarily
restore mobility.
Observe the following rules when using
the kit:
•
Drive with caution and avoid
making sudden steering or
driving manoeuvres, especially if
the vehicle is heavily loaded or you are
towing a trailer.
• The kit will provide you with an
emergency temporary repair, enabling
you to continue your journey to the
next vehicle or tyre dealer, or to drive
a maximum distance of
200 kilometres (125 miles).
• Do not exceed a
maximum speed
of 80 km/h (50 mph).
• Keep the kit out of the reach of
children.
• Only use the kit when the ambient
temperature is between –30°C (-22°F)
and +70°C (+158°F).
Using the tyre repair kit WARNINGS
Compressed air can act as an
explosive or propellant.
Never leave the tyre repair kit
unattended while in use.
CAUTION
Do not keep the compressor
operating for more than 10 minutes.
Note:
Use the tyre repair kit only for the
vehicle with which it was supplied.
