The tyre repair kit allows you to continue driving even with a punctured tyre.

The compressor and sealant system allows most punctures in passenger vehicle tyres, caused by nails or similar objects, to be repaired effectively and conveniently, and allows the tyre to be inflated.

Once you have made sure the tyre has been properly repaired, you may continue to drive carefully (for up to 200 km) without exceeding a speed of 80 km/h, in order to reach a service station or tyre specialist to have the tyre replaced.

In some cases, especially with large punctures or sidewall damage, the tyre may not be fully repairable.

Loss of tyre pressure can adversely affect the performance of the tyre.

For this reason, avoid sharp steering or similar manoeuvres, especially when the vehicle is heavily loaded or towing a trailer.

The tyre repair kit is not designed or intended as a permanent tyre repair method, and it can only be used for one tyre.

These instructions describe, step by step, how to carry out a simple and reliable temporary tyre repair.

Read the section "Safety notes for using the tyre repair kit".
