WHEELS AND TIRES
Tire sealing system15
The temporary tire sealing system can be
used to seal a puncture in a tire or to check
and adjust the pressure in the tire.
Sealing compound expiration date
The sealing compound bottle must be
replaced if its expiration date has passed (see
the decal on the bottle). Handle the old bottle
as hazardous waste.
NOTE
The sealing compound effectively seals
tires with punctures in the tread but may
not be able to fully seal tires with punctu-
res in the sidewall. Do not use the tire seal-
ing system on tires with large tears, cracks
or similar damage.
Models equipped with a spare wheel16 do not
have the tire sealing system.
