TYRE PRESSURE KIT (1/3)

Do not attempt to use the

inflation kit if the tyre has

been damaged as a result

of driving with a puncture.

The kit is only approved for

inflating the tyres of the ve-

hicle originally equipped

with the kit.

You should therefore carefully check

the condition of the tyre sidewalls

before any operation.

It must never be used to inflate

the tyres of another vehicle, or any

other inflatable object (rubber ring,

rubber boat, etc.).

Driving with underinflated, flat or

punctured tyres can be dangerous

and may make the tyre impossible

to repair.

Avoid spillage on skin when han-

dling the repair product bottle. If

droplets do leak out, rinse them off

with plenty of water.

This repair is temporary.

Keep the repair kit away from chil-

dren.

A tyre which has been punctured

should always be inspected (and re-

paired, where possible) as soon as

possible by a specialist.

Do not dispose of the empty bottle

in the countryside. Return it to your

approved dealer or to a recycling or-

ganisation.

The kit repairs tyres when

tread A has been dam-

aged by objects smaller

than 4 mm. It cannot repair

all types of puncture, such as cuts

larger than 4 mm, or cuts in tyre

sidewall B.

When taking a tyre which has been

repaired using this kit to be replaced,

you must inform the specialist.

The bottle has a limited service

life which is indicated on its label.

Check the expiry date.

When driving, vibration may be felt

due to the presence of the repair

product injected into the tyre.

Ensure also that the wheel rim is in

good condition.

Contact an approved dealer to re-

place the inflation tube and repair

product bottle.

Do not pull out the foreign body

causing the puncture if it is still in

the tyre.

those fitted originally and tighten

them fully.

Precautions when using the

kit

The kit should not be operated for more

than 10 consecutive minutes.

Once the tyre is correctly inflated,

remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in-

flation end piece 3 to prevent any prod-

uct spatter and store the container in

plastic packaging to prevent product

leaks.

The container must be replaced after

the first use even if liquid remains

inside.

Following repair with the kit,

do not travel further than

120 miles (200 km). In addi-

tion, reduce your speed and

legislation, a tyre repaired with the

inflation kit may need to be replaced.

eration, air will still escape from the
