Using the tire repair kit
!
Depending on the type of damage on the
tire, the tire sealant could damage the
sensor of the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS). Such damage is not
covered by the smart Limited Warranty.
When having the damaged tire replaced,
also have the TPMS sensors checked for
proper function. When the sensor is
damaged, the TPMS will not function
properly. The sensor must then be
replaced at an authorized smart center as
soon as possible.
The tire repair kit can be used to seal
punctures of up to approximately 0.16 in
(4 mm) on the tire tread.
The tire repair kit enables you to drive on
the sealed tire to the nearest authorized
smart center.
