Tyre repair kit
Principle
With the tyre repair kit, minor tyre damage can
be quickly sealed to allow the driver to continue
driving.
General
▷ The filled in tyre sealant closes the damage
from the inside when it hardens.
▷ Please observe the notes on using the tyre
repair kit which are on the compressor and
the tyre sealant bottle.
▷ Using the tyre repair kit can be ineffective for
tyre damage larger than approximately 4 mm.
▷ Foreign bodies that have penetrated the tyre
should remain inside the tyre. Only remove
foreign objects if they are visibly protruding
from the tyre.
▷ The compressor can be used to check the
tyre inflation pressure.
