Temporary puncture repair and tools
General
Cars which do not have a spare tyre are instead
equipped with an emergency puncture repair kit.
This kit can be used to both seal the puncture
and to check and adjust the tyre pressure. The
kit consists of an electric air compressor and an
integrated canister with sealant.

kit
The emergency puncture repair kit is only
intended to work as a temporary repair so that
the car can be driven a further 200 km (max.) or
to the nearest tyre centre. The sealant has the
ability to effectively seal tyres which have
punctures in the tread.

The canister with the sealant should be replaced
before the expiration date has passed or after
the emergency repair kit has been used. See
page 134 for information about replacing the
canister.
NOTE! The emergency puncture repair kit is
only intended for the sealing of tyres with a
puncture in the tread.
The emergency puncture repair kit has limited
abilities to seal tyres which have punctures in
the wall. Do not seal tyres with the emergency
puncture repair kit if they have larger slits,
cracks, irregularities or similar damage.
The emergency puncture repair kit with
compressor and tools is found under the floor
in the luggage compartment.
12 V sockets for connecting the compressor are
located by the centre console in the front, and
by the rear seat and in the cargo compartment
Choose the socket which is nearest to the
punctured tyre.
Taking out the emergency puncture
repair kit
1. Pull up the floor mat from the rear.
2. Lift up the emergency puncture repair kit.
WARNING!
Emergency puncture sealer can cause irrita-
tion if it comes into direct contact with skin.
In the case of contact with skin, wash away
the fluid with soap and water.
