What to do in an emergency
Notes on the safe use of the
Tire Mobility Kit
• Park your car at the side of the
road so that you can work with the
TMK away from moving traffic.
Place your warning triangle in a
prominent place to make passing
vehicles aware of your location.
• To be sure your vehicle will not
move, even when you're on fairly
level ground, always set your park-
ing brake.
• Only use the TMK for sealing/infla-
tion passenger car tires. Do not
use on motorcycles, bicycles or
any other type of tires.
• Do not remove any foreign objects-
such as nails or screws -that have
penetrated the tire.
• Before using the TMK, read the
precautionary advice printed on
the sealant bottle!
• Provided the car is outdoors, leave
the engine running. Otherwise
operating the compressor may
eventually drain the car battery.• Never leave the TMK unattended
while it is being used.
• Do not leave the compressor run-
ning for more than 10 min. at a time
or it may overheat.
• Do not use the TMK if the ambient
temperature is below -30°C (-
22°F).
• When both the tire and wheel are
damaged, do not use Tire Mobility
Kit for your safety.
