Tire Emergency Inflator Aerosol - Lotus Evora 400 2018 Owner's Handbook Manual

TiRE EMERGENCY INFLATOR AEROSOL

Tire Emergency Inflator
Aerosol
There is no provision for spare
wheel carriage or lifting jack. A
tire emergency inflator aerosol is
supplied and mounted in spring
clips at the extreme right hand
front corner of the rear luggage
compartment.
When the aerosol is connected
to the tire valve, and the button
pressed, a mixture of liquid latex
and propellant is injected into the
tire. The solidifying latex is forced
into the puncture site as the tire
is inflated, providing a temporary
repair and enabling the car to be

driven at low speed to the nearest
tire depot.
If possible, avoid driving on a
deflated tire, or irreparable dam-
age to the tire structure may be
caused. If it is necessary for safety
reasons to drive on a deflated tire,
it is recommended that the infla-
ohe157
tor should be used as described
even if the extent of tire damage
does not allow successful sealing
and inflation. The latex fluid will
help to lubricate the inside of the
tire and prolong the distance the
car can slowly be driven on the
flat tire.
WHEELS & TIRES
WARNING
Use of the aerosol does not con-
stitute a permanent repair, but
is designed to allow the car to be
driven to the nearest tire depot.
At the earliest opportunity, the
tire should be either profes-
sionally repaired or replaced
dependent on the severity of the
damage.
Until the tire is repaired or re-
placed, the car should be driven
only in a moderate manner, not
exceeding 30 mph (45 km/h).
Do not use the aerosol for large
holes or splits, or when the tire
sidewall has been damaged, or if
the tire has been displaced from
the rim.
For safety reasons, the aerosol
should be carried only in the
designated secure stowage po-
sition. Never carry loose in the
passenger compartment.
