Applies to vehicles: with tyre repair kit
Repaired tyres are only suitable for temporary use.
Your vehicle is equipped with a tyre repair kit (Tyre Mobility System).
In the event of a puncture you will find the tyre repair kit, which consists of a sealing compound and an electric compressor, located behind the left side trim in the luggage compartment Fig. 2.
The tyre repair kit will reliably seal tyres damaged by foreign bodies, provided that the cuts or punctures are no larger than approx. 4 mm in diameter.
It is not necessary to remove the foreign body from the tyre.
The sealing compound must not be used:
- on cuts and punctures larger than 4 mm Fig. 1 -1-
- if the wheel rim has been damaged -2-
- if you have been driving with very low pressure or a completely flat tyre -3-.
How to use the tyre repair kit is described in the section Repairing a tyre Link and in the instructions supplied with the tyre sealant can.
The tyre repair kit can be used at outside temperatures down to - 20 °C.
