Tubeless Tire Repair
Should a leak or flat tire occur due to a
puncture, the tire may be repaired using a
plug-type repair. If the damage is from a
cut or if the puncture cannot be repaired
using a plug, the tire must be replaced.
When operating the vehicle in areas
where transportation or service facilities
are not readily available, it is strongly
recommended to carry a plug-type repair
kit and a tire pump along.
