WARNING
Using the breakdown set can be dangerous, especially if the tyre is inflated at the roadside. Please note the
following steps in order to reduce the risk of serious injuries:
● Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and when safe to do so. Park the vehicle at a safe distance from moving
traffic in order to fill the tyre (→ In an emergency).
● Make sure that the ground is flat and firm.
● All passengers, and children in particular, must be at a safe distance and away from your area of work.
● Switch on the hazard warning lights to warn other road users.
● The breakdown set should be used only if you feel confident with carrying out the procedure. If not, seek expert
assistance.
● Tyres repaired with the breakdown set are intended for temporary, emergency use only. They should only be used
until you can reach the nearest qualified workshop.
● Tyres that have been repaired using the breakdown set should be replaced as soon as possible.
● Sealant is hazardous to health and must be washed off immediately if it gets onto the skin.
● The breakdown set must be stored out of the reach of children.
● Never use a vehicle jack, even if it is approved for the vehicle.
WARNING
Tyres that have been filled with sealant will not handle in the same way as a standard tyre.
● Never drive faster than 80 km/h(50 mph).
● Avoid full acceleration, sudden braking and fast driving through bends in the road.
● Drive for just 10 minutes at no more than 80 km/h(50 mph) and then check the tyre.
Dispose of used or out-of-date sealant in accordance with legal
requirements.
You can get a new tyre filler bottle from a Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles
dealership.
Observe the separate instructions from the manufacturer of the breakdown
set.
