WARNINGS
Park your vehicle so that you do not

yourself in any danger and set up a
warning triangle.
Compressed air can act as an

Never leave the temporary mobility
kit unattended while in use.
Do not keep the compressor
operating for longer than 10 minutes.
You must only use the temporary
mobility kit for the vehicle with which

Before you use the temporary mobility kit:
• Apply the parking brake.
• Do not attempt to remove foreign
material that is penetrating the tire, for
example, nails or screws.
• Leave the engine running while the
temporary mobility kit is in use. If your
vehicle is in an enclosed or poorly
ventilated area use the temporary
mobility kit with the engine switched
off.
• You must replace the sealant bottle
with a new one before the expiry date
which is printed on the top of sealant
bottle.
• Inform all vehicle users that a tire has
been repaired using the temporary
mobility kit. Make them aware of the
special driving conditions that apply.
