instead equipped with an emergency
puncture repair kit. This kit can be used to
both seal the puncture and to check and
adjust the tyre pressure. The kit consists of an
electric air compressor and an integrated
canister with sealing liquid.

intended to work as a temporary repair so
that the car can be driven a further 200 km
(max.) or to the nearest tyre centre. The
sealing fluid has the ability to effectively seal
tyres which have punctures in the tread.
The canister with the sealing fluid should be
replaced before the best-before date has
expired or after the emergency repair kit has
been used. Puncture repair kit replacement,
see page 151 for information on canister

NOTE! The emergency puncture repair kit is
only intended for sealing tyres with a
puncture in the tread.
The emergency puncture repair kit has limited
abilities to seal tyres which have punctures in
the wall of the tyre. Do not seal tyres with the
emergency puncture repair kit if they have
larger slits, cracks, irregularities or similar
damage.

compressor and tools are found under the
floor in the cargo area.
12 V sockets for the compressor are located
