Wheels and Tires
WARNINGS
GENERAL INFORMATION
Do not use the kit on run flat tires.
CAUTIONS
Use only approved wheel and tire
sizes. Using other sizes could damage
the vehicle and will make the National
Type Approval invalid.
Do not try to seal damage to the
tire’s sidewall.
The kit seals most tire punctures [with a
diameter of up to six millimeters (1/4
inch)] to temporarily restore mobility.
If you change the diameter of the tires
from that fitted at the factory, the
speedometer may not display the
correct speed. Take the vehicle to your
dealer to have the engine management
system reprogrammed.
Observe the following rules when using the
kit:
•
•
Drive with caution and avoid making
sudden steering or driving maneuvres,
especially if the 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 200 kilometers
(125 miles).
If you intend to change the size of the
wheels from that fitted at the factory,
check the suitability with your dealer.
Note: Check your tire pressures regularly to
optimize fuel economy.
A decal with tire pressure data is located
in the driver’s door opening at the B-pillar.
Check and set the tire pressure at the
ambient temperature in which you are
intending to drive the vehicle and when the
tires are cold.
•
•
•
Do not exceed a maximum speed of
80 km/h (50 mph).
Keep the kit out of the reach of
children.
Only use the kit when the ambient
temperature is between –40°C
(-40°F) and +70°C (+158°F).
TEMPORARY MOBILITY KIT
Your vehicle may not have a spare tire.
Therefore you will have an emergency kit
which will only repair one flat tire.
Using the kit
WARNINGS
The kit is located in the spare wheel well.
General information
WARNINGS
Compressed air can act as an
explosive or propellant.
Never leave the kit unattended while
in use.
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.
CAUTION
Do not keep the compressor operating
for more than 10 minutes.
Do not use the kit on a previously
damaged tire, for example when it
has been driven under inflated.
