Do not drive your vehicle more than

200 km (124 mi) before repairing or

replacing the punctured tire.

•

Inform all other users of your vehicle

that a tire was sealed using the kit.

Make them aware of the special driving

conditions that must be adhered to.

•

Regularly check the tire pressure until

the sealed tire is repaired or replaced

by a tire specialist. Before the tire is

removed from the wheel rim, you must

inform the tire specialist that the tire

contains sealant.

Remove the sealant bottle and the

sealant bottle tire inflation pipe from

the compressor and discard it in your

household waste or return it to an

your vehicle wear evenly and last longer,

we recommend that you swap the tires

from front to rear and vice versa at regular

intervals between 5,000 km (3,000 mi)

and 10,000 km (6,000 mi).

•

WARNING: Do not scrub the

sidewalls of the tires when you are

parking.

Purchase a replacement sealant bottle
