to snake, brake immediately and make the
necessary steering corrections as carefully as
possible.

Tyre repair kit
Principle
With the tyre repair kit, minor tyre damage can
be quickly sealed to allow the driver to con-
tinue driving.
General
▷ To allow the driver to continue driving, tyre
sealant is pumped into the tyres which
seals the damage from the inside when it
hardens.
▷ Please observe the notes on using the tyre
repair kit which are on the compressor and
the tyre sealant bottle.
▷ The use of the tyre repair set can be inef-
fective in the event of tyre damage from a
size of approx. 4 mm, approx. 0.16 in.
▷ Contact a Service Partner of the manufac-
turer or another qualified Service Partner or
a specialist workshop if you are unable to
put the tyre back in operation.
▷ Foreign bodies that have penetrated the
tyre should remain inside the tyre. Only re-
move foreign objects if they are visibly pro-
truding from the tyre.
▷ Remove the speed limit sticker from the
tyre sealant bottle and attach to the steer-
ing wheel.
▷ When checking the tyre pressure: using
sealant can damage the wheel electronics.
In this case, have the electronics replaced
at the next opportunity.
▷ The compressor can be used to check the
tyre inflation pressure.

Storage
Storage for the tyre repair set kit is provided on
