– Immediately drive about 3 km, at a
maximum speed of 80 km/h, to allow the
sealing fluid to seal the tyre well.
WARNING!
You should not drive faster than 80 km/h

been used. The temporarily sealed tyre
must be changed as soon as possible
(maximum driving distance: 200 km).

well sealed. The journey should not be
continued under these circumstances.
Contact a tyre centre.

the tyre should be pumped up to the
pressure stated on the tyre pressure

floor in the cargo area.
The compressor should not run for more than
ten minutes at a time. Let it cool afterwards as
there is a risk of overheating.
NOTE! The canister with sealant and hose
should be replaced after use.
