WARNING
A tyre filled with sealant has the same driving characteristics as a stand-
ard tyre.
Do not travel faster than 80 km/h.
Avoid accelerating at full throttle, sharp braking and fast cornering.
Check the tyre pressure after driving for 10 minutes.
The sealant is hazardous to heath. Remove immediately if it comes into
contact with the skin.
For the sake of the environment
Used sealant or sealant whose expiry date has passed must be disposed of in
accordance with environmental protection regulations.
Note
Observe the manufacturer's usage instructions for the breakdown kit.
A new bottle of sealant can be purchased from ŠKODA Original Parts.
Immediately replace the tyre that was repaired using the breakdown kit, or
consult a specialist garage about repair options.

Preparations for using the breakdown kit
Read and observe
on page 205 first.
The following preparatory work must be carried out before using the break-
down kit.
Park the vehicle as far away as possible from the flow of traffic. Park on as
flat and firm a surface as possible.
If you are in flowing traffic, switch on the hazard warning light system and
set up the warning triangle at the prescribed distance! The national legal re-
quirements must be observed.
Have all the occupants get out. The passengers should not stand on the
road (instead they should remain behind a crash barrier, for instance) while
the wheel is being changed.
Switch off the engine and move the gearshift lever into Neutral or move the
selector lever on the automatic gearbox into position P.
Apply the handbrake firmly.
Check that you can carry out the repairs with the breakdown kit
Uncouple a trailer.
