Wheels and Tires
WARNINGS
GENERAL INFORMATION
Do not use the kit on a previously
damaged tire, for example when it
has been driven under inflated. This
could cause loss of vehicle control,
personal injury or death.
A decal with tire pressure data is located
in the driver’s door opening.
Check and set the tire pressure at the
ambient temperature in which you are
intending to drive your vehicle and when
the tires are cold.
Do not use the kit on run flat tires.
This could cause loss of vehicle
control.
Note: Check your tire pressures regularly to
optimize fuel economy.
Do not try to seal damage to the
tire’s sidewall. The tire could burst
and cause loss of vehicle control,
personal injury or death.
Note: Use only approved wheel and tire
sizes. Using other sizes could damage your
vehicle and will make the National Type
Approval invalid.
Note: If you change the diameter of the tires
from that fitted at the factory, the
speedometer may not display the correct
speed. Take your vehicle to an authorized
dealer to have the engine management
system reprogrammed.
The kit seals most tire punctures [with a
diameter of up to ¼ inch (six millimetres)]
to temporarily restore mobility.
You must observe the following rules when
using the kit:
•
•
Drive with caution and avoid making
sudden steering or driving maneuvers,
especially if your vehicle is heavily
loaded or you are towing a trailer.
The kit will provide you with an
emergency temporary repair, enabling
you to continue your journey to the next
vehicle or tire dealer, or to drive a
maximum distance of 125 miles
(200 kilometers).
Note: If you intend to change the size of the
wheels from that fitted at the factory, check
the suitability with an authorized dealer.
TEMPORARY MOBILITY KIT
Your vehicle may not have a spare tire.
Therefore you will have a temporary
mobility kit which will only repair one
damaged tire.
•
•
•
Do not exceed a maximum speed of
50 mph (80 km/h).
The kit is located in the spare wheel well.
General Information
WARNINGS
Keep the kit out of the reach of
children.
Only use the kit when the ambient
temperature is between -40°F
(–40°C) and +158°F (+70°C).
Depending on the type and extent of
tire damage, some tires can only be
partially sealed or not sealed at all.
Loss of tire pressure can affect vehicle
handling, leading to loss of vehicle control.
Using the Kit
WARNINGS
Compressed air can act as an
explosive or propellant which could
cause serious personal injury.
