TIRE REPAIR SYSTEM

Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before driving the vehicle.

A tire repair system is supplied for vehicles without a spare wheel. The tire repair system is stored under the loadspace floor panel.

Note: Vehicles supplied with a tire repair system may not have a jack and lug wrench fitted as standard equipment.

1. Sealant bottle.
2. Compressor.
3. Locking lug nut adapter.

The tire repair system can be used to repair one punctured tire.

The tire repair system seals most punctures with a maximum diameter of 6 mm, if the puncture is within the tread area (A).

Only use the tire repair system to seal damage located within the tire tread area (A). Carrying out tire repairs outside of the tire tread area (A) could cause the tire to fail, leading to serious injury or death.

Note: The sealant used in the tire repair system has a shelf life. The expiry date is shown on the sealant bottle. Make sure that the sealant bottle is replaced before the expiry date. Also make sure that the sealant bottle and inflation hose are replaced after each use.
