Breakdown kit

ä
Introduction

This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Components of the breakdown kit
Preparing to use the breakdown kit
Seal and inflate tyres
Check after driving for 10 minutes
The breakdown kit is located in a box under the floor covering in the luggage
compartment.
Use the breakdown kit to reliably repair tyre damage caused by foreign bodies or
a puncture with diameters up to 4 mm. Do not remove foreign bodies, e.g. screws
or nails, from the tyre!
The repair can be undertaken on the vehicle immediately.
Repairs with the breakdown kit do not in any way replace a permanent repair of
the tyre, it only serves to reach the next specialist garage.
The breakdown kit must not be used under the following circumstances:
›
if there is damage to the wheels;
›
in outside temperatures of less than -20 °C (-4 °F);
›
with tears or punctures greater than 4 mm in size;
›
if there is damage to the tyre wall;
›
when driving with very low tyre pressure or with a completely flat tyre;
›
if the use-by-date (see inflation bottle) has passed.
