If a Tyre Goes Flat
Temporarily Repairing a Flat Tyre
If the tyre has a large cut or is otherwise severely damaged, you will need to have
the vehicle towed. If the tyre only has a small puncture, from a nail for instance, you
can use the temporary tyre repair kit so that you can drive to the nearest service
station for a more permanent repair.
If a tyre goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually
to reduce speed. Then, stop in a safe place.
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level, non-slippery surface and apply the parking brake.
2. Put the transmission into
(R.
3. Turn on the hazard warning lights and set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF
(LOCK).
