If the tyre pressure has fallen
below 1.3 bar, the vehicle must
not be used. Seek the assistance
of a workshop.

repaired tyre are severely affected,therefore have this tyre replaced.
If unusual noise is heard or the
compressor becomes hot, turn

pressure of 102 psi.
Note the expiry date of the kit. After
this date its sealing capability is no
longer guaranteed. Pay attention to
storage information on sealant

Wheel changing Some vehicles are equipped with a
tyre repair kit instead of a spare wheel 3 209.Make the following preparations and
