Tyre repair kit*
General information
The tyre repair kit is intended for the repair of minor tyre defects.
The repair with the tyre repair kit is not at all intended to replace a permanent
repair on the tyre, this repair only serves to reach the next specialist garage. The
repair can be undertaken on the vehicle immediately. Please read the attached
instructions carefully before the repair.
The tyre repair kit is located in a textile bag. There is a velcro fastener on the under-
side of the bag, with which the bag is attached to the floor covering of the luggage
compartment in such a way that the side of the bag rests on the right side of the
luggage compartment and on the seat backrest.
