higher speeds. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
Adapt your driving style accordingly and
drive carefully. Do not exceed the maxi-
mum permissible speed for a tyre sealed
with 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
plastic bag that contained the TIREFIT
kit.

Environmental note
Have the used tyre sealant bottle dis-
posed of professionally, e.g. at a qualified
specialist workshop.
Comply with the manufacturer's safety
instructions on the sticker on the tyre
inflation compressor.
