WARNING
sealed tires
Damaged tires that are sealed with tire sealant can
lose pressure or burst in the event of inappropriate
speed or continuous loading.
e Sealing the tire with the tire sealant is only an
emergency solution enabling you to drive to the
nearest authorized Porsche dealer.
e Use the tire sealant only in the case of cuts or
punctures no larger than 0.16 in. (4 mm).
e Never use tire sealant if the rim is damaged or if
you have driven with low tire pressure or deflated
tires.
e Do not use tire sealant at outside temperatures
below -4 °F (-20 °C)..
e Avoid rapid acceleration and high cornering
speeds.
e Do not drive faster than 50 mph (80 km/h).
e Check the tire pressure after driving for around
10 minutes. If the tire pressure is less than 22 psi
(1.5 bar), do not continue driving.
e Have sealed tires replaced by an authorized
Porsche dealer as soon as possible. Inform the
authorized Porsche dealer that the tire contains
tire sealant.
e Tire repairs are not permissible. Replace
damaged tires.
e Observe the safety information and instructions
for use in the separate operating instructions for
the tire sealant and compressor.
