l
Use the tyre sealant only at ambient tempera-
tures of -30 °C to + 60 °C.
l Effect an emergency repair without pulling
out the object (nail, screw, etc.) that is stuck
in the tyre.
l Do not use the tyre sealant if the tyre has
been damaged by being driven when insuffi-
ciently inflated (e.g. bumps, cuts, cracks etc.
on the tyre).
l Wipe tyre sealant off the paintwork immedi-
ately with a damp cloth.
l Immediately wash clothes contaminated with
tyre sealant.
Before repairing a tyre, first stop your vehicle in a
safe, flat location. 1. Park the vehicle on level and stable ground.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. Move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK)position and turn the electric motor switch to
the “LOCK” position.
4. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and set up a warning triangle, flashing signal lamp,
etc., at an adequate distance from the vehi-
cle, and have all your passengers leave the ve-
hicle.
5. Take out the tyre repair kit.
6. Shake the tyre sealant bottle well. NOTE
l In

cold conditions (when the ambient temper-
ature is 0 °C or lower), thickening of the tyre
sealant can make the tyre sealant hard to
squeeze out of the bottle. Warm the bottle in-
side the vehicle.
7. Take the cap (C) off the tyre sealant bottle (D). Do not remove the seal (E). Screw the
filler hose (D) onto the bottle (E). As you
screw the filler hose onto the bottle, the seal
will break, allowing the sealant to be used. CAUTION

you shake the bottle after screwing on
the hose, sealant may spray out of the hose.
8. Take the valve cap (G) off the tyre valve (H), then
press the valve remover (I) onto the
valve as illustrated. Allow all of the air in the
tyre to escape. 9. Remove
the valve insert (J) by turning it anti-
clockwise using the valve remover (I). Put
the removed valve insert in a clean place so
it does not get dirty. For emergencies
