Tyre repair


Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Breakdown kit
Preparations for using the breakdown kit
Sealing and inflating the tyre
Check after 10 minutes' driving
Use the breakdown kit to reliably repair tyre damage caused by foreign bodies
or a puncture with diameters up to approx. 4 mm.
A repair made using the breakdown kit is never intended to replace a perma-
nent repair on the tyre. Its purpose is to get you to the nearest specialist ga-
rage.
The wheel need not be removed during the repair.
Do not remove foreign bodies, e.g. screws or nails, from the tyre.
The breakdown kit must not be used under the following circumstances.
›
There is damage to the rim.
›
The outside temperature is less than -20 °C.
›
The tears or punctures are greater than 4 mm in size.
›
There is damage to the tyre wall.
›
Driving with very low tyre pressure or with a completely flat tyre.
