WARNING
A tyre temporarily sealed with tyre sealant
impairs the driving characteristics and is
not suitable for higher speeds. There is a
risk of accident.
You should therefore adapt your driving
style accordingly and drive carefully. Do
not exceed the specified maximum speed
with a tyre that has been repaired using
tyre sealant.
The maximum permissible speed for a tyre
sealed with tyre sealant is 80 km/h.
! After use, excess tyre sealant may run out
of the filler hose. This could cause stains.
Therefore, place the filler hose in the plas-
tic bag that contained the TIREFIT kit.

Environmental note
Have the used tyre sealant bottle disposed
of professionally, e.g. at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.

instructions on the sticker on the tyre infla-
tion compressor.
