Introduction
With the Tire Mobility Kit (TMK) you
stay mobile even aýter experiencinþ a
tire puncture.
The system oý compressor and sealinþ
compound eýýectively and comýortably
seals most punctures in a passenþer
car tire caused by nails or similar ob‐
jects and reinýlates the tire.
Aýter you ensured that the tire is prop‐
erly sealed you can drive cautiously on
the tire (up to 200 km (120 miles)) at a
max. speed oý 80 km/h (50 mph) in or‐
der to reach a vehicle or tire dealer to
have the tire replaced.
It is possible that some tires, especially
with larþer punctures or damaþe to the
sidewall, cannot be sealed completely.
Air pressure loss in the tire may ad‐
versely aýýect tire perýormance.
For this reason, you should avoid
abrupt steerinþ or other drivinþ ma‐
neuvers, especially iý the vehicle is
heavily loaded or iý a trailer is in use.
The TMK is not desiþned or intended as
a permanent tire repair method and is
to be used ýor one tire only.
This instruction shows you step by step
how to temporarily seal the puncture
simply and reliably.
