• The system will effectively seal a tire that was punctured by an
object with a diameter of up to ¼ in (6 mm). It is possible that a
tire, especially with greater damage, will not be sealed. Do not
remove objects that punctured the tire if they are still lodged in
the tire
• A maximum speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) may not be exceeded at
any time after sealing the tire with the system
• The system provides only a temporary emergency repair for
continuing the journey up to 125 mile (200 km) or to the nearest

Transporting and Towing

The recommended method for moving a defective vehicle is to have
it transported in a purpose built, covered, vehicle transporter.
When moving the vehicle by transporter make sure that the
vehicle is not lashed down, to the transporter, by the suspension
control arms.
Power braking and power steering are not available with the
engine turned OFF. Substantially higher brake pedal pressures
and steering effort are required.
If a transmission fault is present, this vehicle must be
transported.
The front towing eye is only for emergency use when moving the
vehicle for short distances, e.g. If it is causing an obstruction or if it
requires winching onto a transporter.
If moving the vehicle in such a situation:
