Tyre repair kit

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.

205

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.

206

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.
