❒ Park the vehicle at the side of the
road without hindering the traffic
flow, to use the kit without any
hazard.
❒ In order to ensure stability to the
vehicle, engage the parking brake,
even if the vehicle is not on roads
with a gradient.
❒ Do not try and remove foreign
bodies puncturing the tyre, such
as nails or screws.
❒ Leave the engine running while using
the kit only if the vehicle is outdoors
and not in a poorly ventilated place
(for example, within a building).
In this case, instead, start the
compressor with the engine off.
❒ Replace the sealant bottle with
a new one before the expiry date
(see bottle cap).
❒ Inform all vehicle users that the tyre
has been temporarily repaired with
the suitable kit and that special
driving caution must be used.
