Anti-Puncture Kit Tms (Tyre Mobility System) - Seat ALTEA Owner's Manual

236 If and when
Code
The code number of the anti-theft wheel bolt is stamped onto the front part
of the adaptor.
The code number should be noted and kept in a safe place, as it is only by
using the code number that a duplicate adaptor can be obtained from the
SEAT Official Services.
Tyres with directional tread pattern
A directional tread pattern can be identified by arrows on the sidewall that
point in the direction of rotation. Always note the direction of rotation indi-
cated when fitting the wheel. This is important so that these tyres can give
maximum grip and avoid excessive noise, tread wear and aquaplaning.
If, in an emergency, you have to mount the spare wheel so it rotates in the
wrong direction, you must drive extremely carefully. The tyre will not give
optimum performance. This is particularly important when driving on wet
roads.
To benefit from the advantages of tyres with this type of tread pattern, the
defective tyre should be replaced as soon as possible so that all tyres again
rotate in the correct direction.
Anti-puncture kit TMS (Tyre Mobility
System)*
Introduction
The Anti-puncture kit* (Tyre Mobility System) will reliably seal punctures
caused by perforation or penetration by a foreign body of up to about 4 mm
in diameter. Do not remove foreign objects, e.g. screws or nails, from the
tyre.
After injecting the sealant in the tyre, you must again check the tyre pres-
sure about 10 minutes after starting the engine.
You should only use the tire mobility set if the vehicle is parked in a safe

place, you are familiar with the procedure and you have the necessary tire
mobility set! Otherwise, you should seek professional assistance.
The tyre sealant must not be used in the following cases:
● If the wheel rim has been damaged.
● In outside temperatures below -20 °C (-4 °F).
● In the event of cuts or perforations in the tyre greater than 4 mm.
● If you have been driving with very low pressure or a completely flat tyre.
● If the sealant bottle has passes its use by date.
WARNING
Using the tyre mobility set can be dangerous, especially when filling the
tyre at the roadside. Please observe the following rules to minimise the
risk of injury:
● Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible. Park it at a safe distance

from surrounding traffic to fill the tyre.
● Ensure the ground on which you park is flat and solid.
● All passengers and particularly children must keep a safe distance
from the work area.
● Turn on the hazard warning lights to warn other road users.
● Use the tyre mobility set only if you are familiar with the necessary
procedures. Otherwise, you should seek professional assistance.
● The tyre mobility set is intended for temporary emergency use only
until you can reach the nearest specialised workshop.
