Tyre inflation kit
tYre InFLA tIOn KIt
Do not attempt to use the
inflation kit if the tyre has
been damaged as a result
of driving with a puncture.
You should therefore carefully check
the condition of the tyre sidewalls
before any operation.
Driving with underinflated, flat or
punctured tyres can be dangerous
and may make the tyre impossible
to repair.
this repair is temporary
A tyre which has been punctured
should always be inspected (and re-
paired, where possible) as soon as
possible by a specialist.
Contact an approved dealer to re -
place the inflation tube and repair
product bottle.
When taking a tyre which has been
repaired using this kit to be replaced,
you must inform the specialist.When driving, vibration may
be felt due to the presence
of the repair product in -
jected into the tyre.
The kit is only approved for inflat -
ing the tyres of the vehicle originally
equipped with the kit.
It must never be used to inflate
the tyres of another vehicle, or any
other inflatable object (rubber ring,
rubber boat, etc.).
Avoid spillage on skin when hand -
ling the repair liquid bottle. If drop -
lets do leak out, rinse them off with
plenty of water.
Keep the repair kit away from chil -
dren.
Do not dispose of the empty bottle
in the countryside. Return it to an
approved dealer or to a recycling or-
ganisation.
The bottle has a limited service
life which is indicated on its label.
Check the expiry date regularly.
The kit repairs tyres with
tread A damaged by ob -
jects smaller than 4 mm. It
cannot repair all types of
puncture, such as cuts more than
4 mm, or cuts in the tyre sidewall B
etc.
Ensure also that the wheel rim is in
good condition.
Do not pull out the foreign body
causing the puncture if it is still in
the tyre.
