Minor Repairs 303
A - Filler bottle
B - Filler hose
Tyre sealant
The tyre sealant is located in the luggage
compartment under the loadspace floor.
The tyre sealant can be used to seal small cuts,
especially in the tyre tread.
Sealing the tyre with the tyre sealant is only an
emergency repair, so you can drive to the next
workshop. Even if the tyre is air-tight, it may only
be used for short journeys in an emergency.
The tyre sealant and a compressor with pressure
tester (on vehicles without level-control system)
can be found under the loadspace floor in the
luggage compartment.
The tyre sealant comprises:
– a filler bottle,
– a filler hose,
– a valve turner,
– a spare valve insert,
– a sticker with the maximum permissible speed
and
– a set of instructions.
Danger!
Risk of accident.
f Use the tyre sealant only in the case of cuts or
punctures no larger than 4 mm.
f Never use the tyre sealant if the rim is
damaged.
Warning!
The sealant is highly flammable and harmful
to health.
f Fire, naked flame and smoking are prohibited
when handling tyre sealant.
f Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
f Keep tyre sealant away from children.
f Do not inhale vapours.
In case of contact with the sealant:
f If sealant gets on the skin or in the eyes,
thoroughly rinse the affected part of the body
off or out without delay.
f Change soiled clothing immediately.
f Visit a doctor immediately in the event of an
allergic reaction.
f If sealant was swallowed, thoroughly rinse out
the mouth without delay and drink plenty of
water. Do not induce vomiting.
See a doctor immediately.
