Roadside Emergencies

TEMPORARY MOBILITY KIT

Your vehicle is equipped with an temporary mobility kit (located in the
spare tire well in the trunk). The temporary mobility kit consists of an
air compressor to reinflate the tire and a sealing compound that will
effectively seal most punctures caused by nails or similar objects. This
kit will provide a temporary seal allowing you to drive your vehicle up to
120 miles at a maximum speed of 50 mph.
Note: The temporary mobility kit is to be used for one tire only. See
your authorized dealer for additional kits.
General information
It is possible that, especially with tire punctures larger than 1 ⁄ inch or
4
damage to the tire's sidewall, a tire cannot be completely sealed.
Note: Do not use the temporary mobility kit if a tire has become
severely damaged by driving the vehicle with a tire that has insufficient
air pressure or is totally flat. Only punctured areas located within the tire
tread can be sealed with the temporary mobility kit. For safety
reasons, damage to the sidewall must not be repaired.
Loss of air pressure may adversely affect tire performance. For this
reason:
• Do not drive the vehicle above 50 mph (80 km/h).
• Do not drive further than 120 miles (200 km/h). Drive only to the
closest authorized dealer or tire dealer.
