DANGER

Depending on the type and extent of the damage, some tyres can only be partially repaired or cannot be repaired at all. Loss of tyre pressure may affect vehicle handling, with possible loss of control.

Do not use the kit on a previously damaged tyre, for example after driving on a flat tyre. This may cause loss of vehicle control and serious, sometimes fatal, personal injury.

Do not use the inflation kit with run-flat tyres. This may cause loss of vehicle control.

Do not attempt to repair damage to the tyre sidewall. This may cause the tyre to burst, resulting in loss of vehicle control and serious, sometimes fatal, personal injury.

The kit can repair most punctures up to a maximum diameter of 6 mm, temporarily restoring vehicle mobility.

When using the kit, observe the following rules:
  • Drive carefully and avoid steering or sudden manoeuvres, especially if the vehicle is heavily loaded or towing a trailer.
  • The kit allows a temporary emergency repair, enabling you to continue the journey to the nearest mechanic or tyre specialist, for a maximum of 200 km in any case.
  • Do not exceed the maximum speed of 80 km/h.
  • Keep the kit out of the reach of children.
  • Use the kit only at ambient temperatures from -40 to 70 °C.
