Emergency puncture repair*

Emergency puncture repair, where the emer-
gency puncture repair kit (TMK - Temporary
Mobility Kit) is used to seal a puncture and
check and adjust the tyre pressure (p. 426).
The emergency puncture repair kit (p. 339)
consists of a compressor and a bottle of seal-
ant. The sealing works as a temporary repair.
The sealing fluid bottle must be replaced
before its expiration date and after use. The
sealing fluid effectively seals tyres punctured
in the tread.
NOTE
The emergency puncture repair kit is only
intended for sealing tyres with a puncture
in the tread.
The emergency puncture repair kit has limited
capacity to seal tyres which have punctures
in the wall. Do not seal tyres with the emer-
gency puncture repair kit if they have larger
slits, cracks or similar damage. Connect the
compressor to one of the car's 12 V sockets.
Choose the socket that is nearest to the
punctured tyre.

IMPORTANT
If the compressor for emergency puncture
repair is connected to one of the two sock-
ets (p. 154) in the tunnel console then no
other current consumer may be connected
to the other one.
NOTE
The compressor for temporary emergency
puncture repair has been tested and
approved by Volvo.
