The Anti-puncture kit* (Tyre Mobility System)

will reliably seal punctures caused by the

penetration of a foreign body of up to about

4 mm in diameter. Do not remove foreign

objects, e.g. screws or nails, from the tyre.

Some of the items listed are only provided in

certain model versions, or are optional extras.

Emergency equipment

Vehicle tool kit

WARNING

When the vehicle tool kit, tyre mobility set

and spare wheel are loose in the interior

they can be violently thrown in case of a

sudden manoeuvre or braking and espe-

cially in accidents, causing serious injury.

After inserting the sealant residue in the tyre,

you must again check the tyre pressure

about 10 minutes after starting the engine.

You should only use the tyre mobility set if the

vehicle is parked in a safe place, you are fa-

miliar with the procedure and you have the

necessary tyre mobility set! Otherwise, you

should seek professional assistance.

●

Ensure that the vehicle tool kit, the tyre

mobility set and the spare wheel or tempo-

rary spare wheel are safely secured in the

luggage compartment.

Do not use the tyre sealant in the following

cases:

the roadside. Please observe the following

rules to minimise the risk of injury:

WARNING

A tyre filled with sealant does not have the

vehicle with the jack. Risk of accident!

Factory-fitted rims and wheel nuts are spe-

cially matched during construction. There-

fore, if different rims are fitted, the correct

wheel nuts with the right length and heads

must be used. This ensures that wheels are

fitted securely and that the brake system

functions correctly.

●

Never apply grease or oil to wheel nuts or

to the wheel hub threads. Even if the bolts

have been tightened to the prescribed tor-

que, they could come loose while driving.

Towing instructions

Towing requires some expertise and experi-

ence, especially when using a tow rope. Both

drivers should be familiar with the difficulties

involved in towing. For this reason, inexper-

ienced drivers should abstain from towing.

Instructions for tow-starting

During towing, the towing vehicle can signal

the change of direction even with the hazard

warning lights turned on. To do so, at the

same time, the turn signal lever must be oper-

ated with ignition switched on. Meanwhile, the

hazard warning lights will go off. When the

turn signal lever is returned to the rest posi-

tion, the hazard warning lights will be auto-

matically reactivated.
