LED light-emitting diodes
Controls, displays and other equipment items
inside your car have light-emitting diodes
behind a cover as their light source. These LED
resemble conventional lasers and are classified
by law as Class 1 light-emitting diodes.
Do not remove the covers or expose the
eyes directly to the unfiltered light source
for several hours at a time, as this could cause
irritation to the retina.<

System for repairing punctured tyres. With the
aid of this system, you can apply a sealant
around the inside of the tyre as a means of seal-
ing the damaged area, reinflating the tyre and
continuing your journey.
