If you are in any doubt regarding your
ability to carry out the instructions,
contact your Dealer/Approved
Repairer before attempting the repair.
Your vehicle may not be equipped with a spare
tyre. If this is the case, in its place in the rear
underfloor storage compartment, you will find
a tyre repair kit (except where run-flat tyres are
fitted). The tyre repair kit can be used to repair
one tyre and it is essential that you read the
following guide before attempting to repair a
tyre.
The tyre repair kit seals most punctures with a
maximum diameter of 6 mm (1/4 inch).
Note: The sealant used in the tyre repair kit has
a shelf life and the expiry date is shown on the
tyre sealant bottle. Ensure that the container is
replaced before the expiry date.
TYRE REPAIR KIT SAFETY
INFORMATION
Some tyre damage may only be
partially sealed, or may not seal at
all, depending on the amount and type
of damage. Any loss of tyre pressure
can seriously affect vehicle safety.
Do not use the tyre repair kit if the tyre
has been damaged by driving while
under-inflated.
Only use the tyre repair kit to seal
damage located within the tyre tread
area.
Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) when
a repaired tyre is fitted to the vehicle.
The maximum distance that should be
driven when a repaired tyre is fitted, is
200 km (125 miles).
When a repaired tyre is fitted, drive
with caution and avoid sudden braking
or steering manoeuvres.
Only use the tyre repair kit for the
vehicle with which it was supplied.
Do not use the tyre repair kit for any
other purpose than tyre repair.
Never leave the tyre repair kit
unattended when in use.
Only use the tyre repair kit within the
-30 °C to +70 °C temperature range.
Always keep children and animals at a
safe distance from the tyre repair kit
when in use.
Do not stand directly beside the
compressor when it is operating.
Check the tyre sidewall prior to
inflation. If any cracks, damage or
deformities are apparent, do not
inflate the tyre.
Watch the tyre sidewall during
inflation. If any cracks, bumps or
similar damage, or deformities
appear, switch off the compressor and
deflate the tyre.
