General information
Preparations for using the breakdown kit
Sealing and inflating the tyre
Notes for driving with tyre repaired
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.
WARNING
The sealant is hazardous to heath. Remove immediately if it comes into
■
contact with the skin.
Observe the manufacturer's usage instructions for the breakdown kit.
■
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
A new bottle of sealant can be purchased from ŠKODA Original Parts.
■
Immediately replace the wheel that was repaired using the breakdown kit or
■
consult a specialist garage about repair possibilities.
