Emergency puncture repair

General
NOTE
The car can be supplied with two different
types of emergency puncture repair kit.
They are each described individually and
are named variant 1 and variant 2
The emergency puncture repair kit is used to
seal a puncture and to check and adjust the
tyre pressure. It consists of a compressor
and a bottle with sealing fluid. The kit works
as a temporary repair. The sealing fluid bottle
must be replaced before its expiration date
and after use. For information on replace-
ment, see page 160 for type 1 or page 164
for type 2.
The sealing fluid effectively seals tyres punc-
tured in the tread.
NOTE
The emergency puncture repair kit is only
07
intended for sealing tyres with a puncture in
the tread.
The emergency puncture repair kit has limit-
ed capacity to seal tyres which have punc-
tures in the wall. Do not seal tyres with the
emergency puncture repair kit if they have
larger slits, cracks or similar damage.

12 V sockets for the compressor are located
by the centre console in the front, by the rear
seat and in the cargo area. Choose the elec-
trical socket that is nearest the punctured
tyre.
WARNING
You should not drive faster than 80 km/h
after the emergency puncture repair kit has
been used. The temporarily sealed tyre
must be changed as soon as possible (max-
imum driving distance: 200 km).
