WARNING
If you are in flowing traffic, switch on the hazard warning light system and
■
set up the warning triangle at the prescribed distance! The national legal re-
quirements must be observed. In this way you are not only protecting yourself
but other road users as well.
If the wheel is damaged or in the event of a puncture, park the vehicle as far
■
away as possible from the flow of traffic. Park on as flat and firm a surface as
possible.
A tyre filled with sealant has the same driving characteristics as a standard
■
tyre.
Do not drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph).
■
Avoid accelerating at full throttle, sharp braking and fast cornering.
■
Check the tyre inflation pressure after driving for 10 minutes!
■
The sealant is hazardous to heath. Remove immediately if it comes into con-
■
tact with the skin.
For the sake of the environment
Used sealant or sealant whose expiry date has passed must be disposed of in ac-
cordance with environmental protection regulations.
Note
Observe the manufacturer's usage instructions for the breakdown kit.
■
A new bottle of sealant can be purchased from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
■
Immediately replace the wheel that was repaired using the breakdown kit or
■
consult a ŠKODA specialist garage about repair possibilities.
