Breakdown Kit - Skoda Citigo Owner's Manual

Reinstall the full wheel trim/wheel cap after removing the adapter or place the
–
cap onto the anti-theft wheel bolt.
– Have the tightening torque checked with a torque wrench as soon as possi-
ble. Steel and light alloy wheels must be tightened to a tightening torque of
110 Nm.
The anti-theft wheel bolts on vehicles fitted with them (one anti-theft wheel bolt
per wheel) can only be loosened or tighten up by using the adapter provided.
It is meaningful to note the code number hammered into the rear side of the
adapter or the rear side of the anti-theft wheel bolt. You can use this number to
buy a replacement adapter from the range of ŠKODA original parts, if necessary.
We recommend that you always carry the adapter for the wheel bolts with you in
the vehicle. It should be stowed in the vehicle tool kit.
CAUTION
● If the anti-theft wheel bolt is fastened too tightly, it can cause damage to the
anti-theft wheel bolt and adapter.
Note
● The set of anti-theft wheel bolts can be obtained from a specialist garage.
● First check for yourself that the theft-deterrent wheel bolt is located
⇒ p age 129, Slackening and tightening wheel bolts in the hole opposite the valve
before fitting the full wheel trim onto a steel wheel which is attached with a
theft-deterrent wheel bolt.

Breakdown kit

General information
The breakdown kit is located in a box under the floor covering in the luggage com-
partment.
Use the breakdown kit to reliably repair tyre damage caused by foreign bodies or a
puncture with diameters up to 4 mm. Do not remove foreign bodies, e.g. screws or
nails, from the tyre!
The repair can be undertaken on the vehicle immediately.
The repair with the breakdown kit is not at all intended to replace a permanent
repair on the tyre, this repair only serves to reach the next specialist garage.
Using the system Safety
Do not use the breakdown kit:
● if there is damage to the wheels,
● in outside temperatures of less than -20 °C (-4 °F),
● with tears or punctures greater than 4 mm in size,
● if there is damage to the tyre wall,
● when driving with very low tyre pressure or with a completely flat tyre,
● if the use-by-date (see inflation bottle) has passed.
● If you find yourself in flowing traffic switch on the hazard warning lights
system and place the warning triangle on the side of the road at the prescri-
bed distance from your vehicle. Comply with the national legal regulations. In
this way you are protecting not only yourself but also other road users.
● If it is necessary to change a wheel, park the vehicle as far away as possi-
ble from the traffic flow. Park on as flat and firm a surface as possible.
● A tyre filled with sealant has the same driving characteristics as a standard
tyre.
● Do not drive faster than 80 km/h, 50 mph.
● Avoid accelerating at full throttle, sharp braking and fast cornering.
● Check the tyre inflation pressure after driving for 10 minutes!
● The sealant is hazardous to heath. Remove immediately if it comes into
contact with the skin.
