Tire repair set
Principle
With the tire repair set, minor tire damage
can be sealed temporarily to enable contin-
ued driving. To accomplish this, sealing
compound is pumped into the tires, which
hardens and seals the damage from the in-
side.
General information
– Follow the instructions on using the tire
repair set found on the compressor and
sealant bottle.
– Use of the tire repair set may be ineffec-
tive if the tire puncture measures ap-
prox. 4 mm or more.
– Contact a dealer's service center or an-
other qualified service center or repair
shop if the tire cannot be made drivable.
– Do not remove foreign objects that have
penetrated the tire. Only remove foreign
bodies if they are visibly protruding
from the tire.
– Pull the speed limit sticker off the seal-
ant bottle and apply it to the steering
wheel.
– The use of a sealing compound can dam-
age the TPM wheel electronics. In this
case, have the TPM wheel electronics
replaced at the next opportunity.
– The compressor can be used to check
the tire inflation pressure.
