If a tire gets a small puncture

After using the inflation kit,
the car must be however
considered to be in an
emergency situation: drive slowly
(maximum permissible speed 50 mph -
80 Km/h) and with the utmost care,
especially when cornering.
Replace the tire as soon as
possible: punctured tires
should not be repaired, for
safety reasons.
WARNING: When using the tire
inflation kit, always carefully follow
the manufacturer's instructions on the
bottle itself.
WARNING: The tire inflation kit is to be
used to temporarily repair only one
tire punctured by small-sized sharp
objects: the inflation kit cannot repair
large holes or tears and cannot repair
damages due to running with flat tire.
Keep the tire inflation kit into
its container, away from
children's reach. Do not inhale
or swallow and avoid contacts with
skin and eyes.
The inflation kit is under-
pressure. Keep away from sun
beams and protect it against
temperatures exceeding 122 °F (50°C),
do not pierce and keep away from
open flames, also after use. Do not
spray on open flames or parts at high
temperature.
The puffing material
contained in the tire inflation
kit is not suitable for a
definitive tire repair. The repaired tire
has to be replaced as soon as possible.
Inform the service workshop staff that
you have repaired the tire using the
special puffing material contained in
the tire inflation kit.
