Tyre repair kit

This vehicle has a tyre repair kit,
consequently it has no spare wheel,
vehicle tools and no place to store
a tyre. The tyre repair kit can be used
to temporarily seal punctures up to
¼ inch in the tread area of the tyre. It
can also be used to inflate an
underinflated tyre. If the tyre has been
separated from the wheel, has
damaged sidewalls or has a large

9 Warning
Do not drive faster than 50 mph.
Do not use for a lengthy period.
Steering and handling may be
affected.
