The Anti-puncture kit* (Tyre Mobility System)
will reliably seal punctures caused by the
penetration of 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 inserting the sealant residue in the tyre,
you must again check the tyre pressure
about 10 minutes after starting the engine.
You should only use the tyre mobility set if the
vehicle is parked in a safe place, you are fa-
miliar with the procedure and you have the
necessary tyre mobility set! Otherwise, you
should seek professional assistance.
Do not use the tyre sealant 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 pres-
●
sure or a completely flat tyre.
If the sealant bottle has passed its use by
●
date.
WARNING
Using the tyre mobility system can be dan-
gerous, 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 possi-
●
ble. Park it at a safe distance from sur-
rounding 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 system only if you
●
are familiar with the necessary procedures.
Otherwise, you should seek professional
assistance.
The tyre mobility set is intended for tem-
●
porary emergency use only until you can
reach the nearest specialised workshop.
