What to do in an emergency If you have a flat tyre (with tyre mobility kit)
The system of compressor and sealing
compound effectively and comfortably
seals most punctures in a passenger car
tyre caused by nails or similar objects
and reinflates the tyre.
After you ensured that the tyre is prop-
erly sealed you can drive cautiously on
the tyre (up to 200 km (120 miles)) at a
max. speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) in
order to reach a vehicle or tyre dealer to
have the tyre replaced.
It is possible that some tyres, especially
with larger punctures or damage to the
sidewall, cannot be sealed completely.
Air pressure loss in the tyre may
adversely affect tyre performance.
For this reason, you should avoid abrupt
steering or other driving manoeuvres,
especially if the vehicle is heavily loaded
or if a trailer is in use.
The TMK is not designed or intended as
a permanent tyre repair method and is
to be used for one tyre only.
This instruction shows you step by step
how to temporarily seal the puncture
simply and reliably.

Read the section "Notes on the safe use
of the TMK".
WARNING
Do not use the TMK if a tyre is severely
damaged by driving run flat or with
insufficient air pressure.
Only punctured areas located within the
tread region of the tyre can be sealed
using the TMK.
