visible damage.
Yo u can recognise MOExtended tyres bythe
MOExtended marking which appears on the side
wa ll of the tyre.

WARNING Risk of accident due tothe
specified tyre pressure not being ach‐
ie ved
If th e specified tyre pressure is not achie ved
af te rth e specified time, the tyre is too badly
damaged. The tyre sealant cannot repair the
tyre in this ins tance.
Dama ged tyres and a tyre pressure that is
to o low can significantly impair braking and
handling characteristics. #

WARNING Risk of accident from driving
wi th sealed tyres
A tyre temp orarily sealed with tyre sealant
impairs handling characteristics and is not
suitable for higher speeds. #
Adapt your driving style according lyand
drive carefull y. #
Do not exceed the specified maximum
speed with a tyre that has been sealed
using tyre sealant. #
