In case of a Punctured Tire

The vehicle can be equipped with
a tire repair kit or with a compact
spare wheel, depending on the
destination markets and on customer
requirements.
Using Tire Repair Kit
Small punctures up to 6 mm (1⁄4")
in the tire tread can be sealed using
the tire repair kit, fitted beneath
the ground coverage of the boot
compartment.
To access the kit components, on 2.0
L4 MHEV cars it is necessary to remove
the preformed container that contains
them from the boot compartment.

NOTE:
For the tire repair procedures with tire
repair kit see instructions included in
the kit.
This kit will provide a temporary tire
seal, allowing you to drive your vehicle
up to 10 km (6 miles) with a maximum
speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
CAUTION!
• Intruding objects (e.g., screws or
nails) should not be removed from
the tire, which could compromise the
repair with the tire repair kit.
• Do not use the tire repair kit if the
tire shows lateral damages and/or the
rim is damaged by driving with flat
tire.
• Tire repair kit can be used in outside
temperatures down to approximately
-20°C (-4°F).
• Replace the tire repair kit sealant
bottle prior to the expiration date
(printed on the bottle label) to assure
optimum operation of the system.
NOTE:
• The compressor power plug can be
inserted either in the 12 V power
outlet housed in the boot or inside
the passenger compartment (see
"Internal Equipment" in section
"Understanding the Vehicle").
• When having the tire serviced, advise
the Maserati dealer or service center
that the tire has been sealed using
the tire repair kit.
