WARNINGS
Depending on the type and extent of
tyre damage, some tyres can only be
partially sealed or not sealed at all.
Do not use the tyre repair kit if the
tyre has already been damaged as a
result of being driven under inflated.

flat tyres.
Do not try to seal damage other than
that located within the visible tread
of the tyre.
Do not try to seal damage to the
tyre's sidewall.
Drive with caution and avoid
making sudden steering or driving
manoeuvres, especially if the vehicle
is heavily loaded or you are towing a
trailer.

Keep the kit out of the reach of
