Preparing to use the tyre repair kit
Before using the tyre repair kit, carry out the following preparatory work:
– Park the vehicle as far away as possible from the traffic flow. Park on as flat and firm
a surface as possible.
– Have all the occupants get out. While changing a wheel, the occupants of the
vehicle should not stand on the road (instead of behind a crash barrier).
– Switch off the engine and engage 1st gear or if your vehicle is fitted with an auto-
matic gearbox, position the selector lever into position P.
– Apply the handbrake firmly.
– Check whether you can carry out the repairs with the tyre repair kit page 6,
"General information".
– If a trailer is coupled, uncouple it.
– Remove the tyre repair kit from the luggage compartment.
