❒ Park your vehicle at the roadside so
that you do not obstruct the flow of
traffic and so that you are able to use
the kit without being in danger.
❒ Apply the parking brake, even if you
have parked on a level road, to make
sure that the vehicle will not move.
❒ Do not attempt to remove foreign
objects like nails or screws
penetrating the tyre.
❒ Leave the engine running while the
kit is in use, but not if the vehicle is in
an enclosed or poorly ventilated area
(for example, inside a building). In
these circumstances, switch the
compressor on with the engine
turned off.
❒ Replace the sealant bottle with a new
one before the expiry date (see top
of bottle) is reached.
❒ Inform all other users of the vehicle
that the tyre has been temporarily
sealed with the tyre repair kit and
make them aware of the special
driving conditions to be observed.

INFLATING THE TYRE
WARNING
Check the sidewall of the
tyre prior to inflation. If
there are any cracks, bumps or
similar damage, do not attempt to
inflate the tyre.
WARNING
Do not stand directly
beside the tyre while the
compressor is pumping.
WARNING
Watch the sidewall of the
tyre. If any cracks, bumps
or similar damage appear, turn off
the compressor and let the air out
by means of the pressure relief
valve I. Do not continue driving
with this tyre.
WARNING
The sealant contains
natural rubber latex. Avoid
contact with skin and clothing. If
this happens, rinse the affected
areas immediately with plenty of
water and contact your doctor.
WARNING
If the tyre inflation
pressure does not reach 1.8
bar (26 psi) within 10 minutes, the
tyre may have suffered excessive
damage, making a temporary
repair impossible. In this case, do
not continue driving with this tyre.
