Puncture Repair Kit - Skoda Citigo Owner's Manual

WARNING
If the wheel bolts are tightened to a too low tightening torque, the rim
■
can come loose when the car is moving. A tightening torque which is too
high can damage the bolts and threads and this can result in permanent
deformation of the contact surfaces on the rim.
Drive cautiously and only at a moderate speed until the tightening torque
■
has been checked.

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Components of the puncture repair kits
General information
Preparations for using the breakdown kit
Sealing and inflating the tyre
Notes for driving with repaired tyres
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 must not be removed during repair.
Do not remove foreign bodies, which have penetrated the wheel profile from
the tyre (e.g. screws or nails).
Immediately replace the tyre that was repaired using the breakdown kit, or
consult a specialist garage about repair options.
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.
■
Note
A new bottle of sealant can be purchased from ŠKODA Original Parts.
