Introduction

With the Tire Mobility Kit (TMK), you can remain mobile even after experiencing a tire puncture.

The compressor and sealant system effectively and conveniently seals most punctures in passenger car tires caused by nails or similar objects, and re-inflates the tire.

After you have confirmed that the tire is properly sealed, you can carefully drive on the tire (up to 200 km (120 miles)) at a maximum speed of 80 km/h in order to have the tire replaced by a dealer or tire service center.

Some tires, especially those with large punctures or sidewall damage, may not be fully sealed. Loss of air pressure in the tire may adversely affect tire performance.

For this reason, avoid sudden steering or other maneuvers, especially if the vehicle is heavily loaded or towing a trailer. The TMK is not intended for permanent tire repair and should be used for one tire only.

This procedure shows you step by step how to temporarily seal a puncture simply and reliably.

Read "Safety Precautions for the Tire Mobility Kit" on page 7-26.

WARNING

Do not use the TMK if the tire is severely damaged from driving while flat or underinflated. Only punctures located in the tread area of the tire can be sealed with the TMK.
