Complete system consisting of a compressor
and a sealant cartridge which permits
temporary repair of a tyre so that you can
drive to the nearest garage.
It is designed to repair most punctures which
could affect the tyre, located on the tyre tread
or shoulder.
Temporary puncture repair kit
Composition of the kit
1. 12 V compressor, with integral pressure gauge.
2.
S

ealant cartridge, with integral hose.
3.
S

peed limit sticker.
The speed limit sticker must be secured
to the interior of the vehicle in the
driver's field of vision, to remind you
that a wheel is in temporary use.
This kit is installed in the storage box, under the
boot floor.
The vehicle's electric system allows the
connection of a compressor for long
enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture
repair or for inflating a small inflatable
accessory. Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h) when driving with a tyre
repaired using this type of kit.
