When a repaired tyre is fitted, drive  
with caution and avoid sudden braking  
or steering manoeuvres.  
TYRE REPAIR KIT  
If you are in any doubt regarding your  
ability to carry out the instructions,  
contact your Dealer/Approved  
Repairer before attempting the repair.  
Only use the tyre repair kit for the  
vehicle with which it was supplied.  
Do not use the tyre repair kit for any  
other purpose than tyre repair.  
Your vehicle may not be equipped with a spare  
tyre. If this is the case, your vehicle will be  
fitted with a Land Rover tyre repair kit which  
can be used to repair one tyre. It is essential  
that you read the following guide before  
attempting to repair a tyre.  
Never leave the tyre repair kit  
unattended when in use.  
Only use the tyre repair kit within the  
-30°C to +70°C temperature range.  
The tyre repair kit seals most punctures with a  
maximum diameter of 6 mm (1/4 inch).  
Always keep children and animals at a  
safe distance from the tyre repair kit  
when in use.  
The tyre repair kit is located in the rear  
underfloor storage compartment.  
Do not stand directly beside the  
compressor when it is operating.  
Note: The sealant used in the tyre repair kit has  
a shelf life, and the expiry date is shown on the  
top of the bottle. Ensure that the bottle is  
replaced before the expiry date.  
Check the tyre sidewall prior to  
inflation. If any cracks, damage, or  
deformities are apparent do not inflate  
the tyre.  
SAFETY INFORMATION  
Watch the tyre sidewall during  
Some tyre damage may only be  
inflation. If any cracks, damage, or  
deformities are apparent switch off  
the compressor, and deflate the tyre.  
partially sealed, or may not seal at  
all, depending on the amount and type  
of damage. Any loss of tyre pressure  
can seriously affect vehicle safety.  
Do not use the tyre repair kit if the tyre  
has been damaged by driving while  
under inflated.  
Only use the tyre repair kit to seal  
damage located within the tyre tread  
area.  
Do not use the tyre repair kit to seal  
damage to the tyre sidewall.  
Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) when  
a repaired tyre is fitted to the vehicle.  
The maximum distance that should be  
driven when a repaired tyre is fitted, is  
200 km (125 miles).

USING THE REPAIR KIT  
REPAIR PROCEDURE  
Avoid skin contact with the sealant  
which contains natural rubber latex.  
Check the tyre sidewall prior to  
inflation. If there are any cracks,  
bumps or similar damage, do not  
attempt to inflate the tyre. Do not  
stand directly beside the tyre while  
the compressor is pumping. Watch the  
tyre sidewall: If any cracks, bumps or  
similar damage appear, turn off the  
compressor and let the air out by  
means of the pressure relief valve. Do  
not continue to use the tyre.  
Do not unscrew the sealant bottle from  
the receiver until it is empty, as  
sealant will leak out.  
If the tyre inflation pressure does not  
reach 1.8 bar (26 lb/in²) within seven  
minutes, the tyre may have suffered  
excessive damage. A temporary  
repair will not be possible, and the  
vehicle should not be driven until the  
tyre has been replaced.  
1. Open the tyre repair kit and peel off the  
maximum speed label. Attach the label to  
the facia in the driver's field of view. Take  
care not to obstruct any of the instruments  
or warning lights.  
Before attempting a tyre repair, ensure  
that the vehicle is parked safely, as far  
away from passing traffic as possible.  
Ensure that the parking brake is applied,  
and P is selected if an automatic  
transmission is fitted.  
2. Uncoil the compressor power cable and  
the inflation hose.  
3. Unscrew the orange cap from the sealant  
bottle receiver, and the sealant bottle cap.  
Do not attempt to remove foreign  
objects such as nails, screws, etc. from  
the tyre.  
4. Screw the sealant bottle into the receiver  
(clockwise) until tight.  
Always run the engine when using the  
compressor, unless the vehicle is in an  
enclosed, or poorly ventilated space.  
Screwing the bottle onto the receiver  
will pierce the bottle's seal.  
5. Remove the valve cap from the damaged  
tyre.  
To prevent overheating do not operate  
the compressor continuously for longer  
than ten minutes.  
6. Remove the protective cap from the  
inflation hose, and connect the inflation  
hose to the tyre valve. Ensure that the hose  
is screwed on firmly.  
Note: All vehicle drivers and occupants should  
be made aware that a temporary repair has  
been made to a tyre fitted to the vehicle. They  
should also be made aware of the special  
driving conditions imposed when using a  
repaired tyre.  
7. Ensure that the compressor switch is in the  
off (O) position.  
8. Insert the power cable connector into an  
auxiliary power socket. See 70,  
AUXILIARY POWER SOCKETS.  
9. Unless the vehicle is in an enclosed area,  
start the engine.

10. Set the compressor switch to the on (l)  
position.  
19. Immediately drive the vehicle for 3 km (2  
miles) to allow the sealant to coat the inner  
surface of the tyre and form a seal at the  
puncture.  
11. Inflate the tyre to a minimum of 1.8 bar  
(26 lbf/in²) and a maximum of 3.5 bar  
(51 lbf/in²).  
CHECKING THE TYRE PRESSURE  
AFTER A REPAIR  
When pumping the sealant through the  
tyre valve, the pressure may rise up to  
6 bar (87 lbf/in²). The pressure will  
drop again after approximately 30  
seconds.  
When driving the vehicle, if you  
experience vibrations, abnormal  
steering, or noises, reduce speed  
immediately. Drive with extreme  
caution and reduced speed to the first  
safe place to stop the vehicle. Visually  
examine the tyre, and check its  
pressure. If there are any signs of  
damage or deformity to the tyre, or the  
tyre pressure is below 1.3 bar  
12. During the inflation, switch the  
compressor off briefly to check the tyre  
pressure using the gauge mounted on the  
compressor.  
It should not take longer than seven  
minutes to inflate the tyre. If after  
seven minutes the tyre has not reached  
the minimum pressure, the tyre should  
not be used.  
(19 lbf/in²), do not continue driving.  
Consult a tyre repair centre, or your  
Dealer/Authorised Repairer for advice  
concerning the replacement of a tyre  
after using a tyre repair kit.  
13. Once the tyre has been inflated, switch off  
the compressor. If desired, the engine may  
be turned off after the compressor has  
been turned off.  
1. Drive the vehicle for 3 km (2 miles) then  
stop in a safe place. Carry out a visual  
examination of the tyre’s condition.  
14. Remove the power connector from the  
auxiliary power socket.  
2. Remove the protective cap from the  
inflation hose.  
15. Remove the inflation hose from the tyre  
valve by unscrewing it as quickly as  
possible (anticlockwise).  
3. Screw the inflation hose connector firmly  
onto the tyre valve.  
16. Replace the inflation hose protective cap,  
and the tyre valve cap.  
4. Read the tyre pressure from the gauge.  
17. Do not remove the sealant bottle from the  
receiver.  
5. If the pressure of the sealant filled tyre is  
above 1.3 bar (19 lbf/in²) adjust the  
pressure to the correct value.  
18. Ensure that the tyre repair kit (including the  
bottle, and receiver caps) are placed  
securely in the vehicle. You will need to use  
the kit to check the tyre pressure after 3 km  
(2 miles) so ensure they are easily  
accessible.  
6. Ensure that the compressor switch is in the  
off position (O), and insert the power cable  
connector into an auxiliary power socket.  
7. If the vehicle is in a well ventilated area,  
start the engine.  
8. Switch on the compressor (I), and inflate  
the tyre to the correct pressure.

9. To check the tyre pressure turn off the  
compressor then read the pressure from  
the gauge.  
10. When the compressor is off, if the tyre  
pressure is too high, release the required  
amount of pressure using the pressure  
relief valve.  
11. Once the tyre is inflated to the correct  
pressure, switch off the compressor and  
remove the power plug from the auxiliary  
socket.  
12. Unscrew the inflation hose connector from  
the tyre valve, replace the tyre valve cap  
and the inflation hose connector protective  
cap.  
13. Do not remove the sealant bottle from the  
receiver.  
14. Ensure that the tyre repair kit (including the  
bottle, and receiver caps) are placed  
securely in the vehicle.  
15. Drive to the nearest tyre repair centre, or  
Land Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer,  
for a replacement tyre to be fitted. Ensure  
that you make the repair centre aware that  
the tyre repair kit has been used before the  
tyre is removed.  
16. Both the tyre inflation hose, and the sealant  
bottle should be replaced once a new tyre  
has been fitted.  
Only sealant bottles which are  
completely empty should be disposed  
of with normal household waste.  
Sealant bottles which contain some sealant,  
and the tyre inflation hose, should be disposed  
of by a tyre specialist, or your Land Rover  
Dealer/Authorised Repairer, in compliance with  
local waste disposal regulations.
