Vehicles with breakdown set, saloon

~1min read

Depending on equipment level, vehicles are equipped with a breakdown set.

The breakdown set is located in the tool bag -3- on the right in the luggage compartment. The breakdown set consists of a bottle of tyre sealant -1- and a compressor -2-.

The tyre sealant in the bottle has a limited shelf-life.

The bottle -1- therefore has an expiry date -arrow-.

Renew tyre sealant when the expiry date is reached (the tyre sealant must not be older than 4 years). If the bottle has been opened, e.g. to repair a tyre, then it must also be renewed.

Observe regulations for disposal → Chapter.
