outside temperatures down to –22 °F
(–30 °C).
Prepare the vehicle as described

Warning
Smoking, fire and naked flames are prohibit-
ed when handling Premium tire sealant.

Avoid creating sparks.
Warning
Your safety is at particular risk and the tire
sealant is unable to repair a tire in the fol-
lowing situations:

greater than 0.23 in (6 mm)
if the rim is damaged

if you have driven with very low tire pres-
sures or with flat tires

an authorized Sprinter Dealer for this pur-

or on safety-related systems must be car-
ried out at an authorized Sprinter Dealer.
