l Use the tyre sealant only at ambient tempera-
tures of -30 °C to + 60 °C.
l Effect an emergency repair without pulling
out the object (nail, screw, etc.) that is stuck
in the tyre.
l Do not use the tyre sealant if the tyre has
been damaged by being driven when insuffi-
ciently inflated (e.g. bumps, cuts, cracks etc.
on the tyre).
l
Wipe tyre sealant off the paintwork immedi-
ately with a damp cloth.
l Immediately wash clothes contaminated with
tyre sealant.
Before repairing a tyre, first stop your vehicle in a
safe, flat location.
1. Park the vehicle on level and stable ground.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. Move the gearshift lever to the "P" (PARK)
position, turn the ignition switch to the
"LOCK" position.
4. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and set
up a warning triangle, flashing signal lamp,
etc., at an adequate distance from the vehi-
cle, and have all your passengers leave the ve-
hicle.
5. Take out the tyre sealant bottle and the com-
pressor.
6. Shake the tyre sealant bottle well.

NOTE
l In cold conditions (when the ambient temper-
ature is 0 °C or lower), thickening of the tyre
sealant can make the tyre sealant hard to
squeeze out of the bottle. Warm the bottle in-
side the vehicle.
7. Do not remove the seal (C). Screw the filler
hose (D) onto the bottle (E). As you screw
the filler hose onto the bottle, the seal will
break, allowing the sealant to be used.
