Warning!
The tire sealant is a limited repair
device. The tire sealant cannot be used
for cuts or punctures larger than
approximately 0.16 in (4 mm) and tire
damage caused by driving with extremely
low tire inflation pressure, or on a flat
tire, or a damaged wheel.
Do not drive the vehicle under such
circumstances.
If you are unsure of the condition of the
tire or have any question whatsover
about its suitability for driving contact
the nearest smart center for assistance
or call Roadside Assistance.
