have the tyre replaced.

What to do in an emergency

If you have a flat tyre (with tyre mobility kit)

It is possible that some tyres, especially

with larger punctures or damage to the

sidewall, cannot be sealed completely.

Air pressure loss in the tyre may

adversely affect tyre performance.

For this reason, you should avoid abrupt

steering or other driving manoeuvres,

especially if the vehicle is heavily loaded

or if a trailer is in use.

The TMK is not designed or intended as

a permanent tyre repair method and is

to be used for one tyre only.

This instruction shows you step by step

how to temporarily seal the puncture

simply and reliably.

Read the section "Notes on the safe use

of the TMK".

WARNING

Do not use the TMK if a tyre is severely

damaged by driving run flat or with

insufficient air pressure.

Only punctured areas located within the

tread region of the tyre can be sealed

using the TMK.
