What to do in an emergency

Introduction
With the Tyre Mobility Kit you stay
mobile even after experiencing a tyre
puncture.
The compressor and sealing com-
pound system effectively and com-
fortably seals most punctures in a
passenger car tyre caused by nails
or similar objects and reinflates the
tyre.
After you ensure that the tyre is
properly sealed you can drive cau-
tiously on the tyre (distance up to
120 miles (200 km)) at a max. speed
of (50mph (80 km/h)) in order to
reach a service station or tyre dealer
for the tyre replacement.
It is possible that some tyres, espe-
cially with larger punctures or dam-
age to the sidewall, cannot be sealed
completely.
Air pressure loss in the tyre may
adversely affect tyre performance.
For this reason, you should avoid
abrupt steering or other driving
manoeuvres, especially if the vehicle
is heavily loaded or if a trailer is in
use.
The Tyre Mobility Kit is not designed
or intended as a permanent tyre
repair method and is to be used for
one tyre only.
This instruction shows you step by
step how to temporarily seal the
puncture simply and reliably.
Read the section "Notes on the safe
use of the Tyre Mobility Kit".
When two or more tyres are flat,
do not use the tyre mobility kit
because the supported one
sealant of Tyre Mobility Kit is
only used for one flat tyre.
CAUTION
Do not use the Tyre Mobility Kit
to repair punctures in the tyre
walls.This can result in an acci-
dent due to tyre failure.
WARNING
Have your tyre repaired as soon
as possible. The tyre may lose
air pressure at any time after
inflating with the Tyre Mobility
Kit.
WARNING
Do not use the TMK if a tyre is
severely damaged by driving
run flat or with insufficient air
pressure.
Only punctured areas located
within the tread region of the
tyre can be sealed using the
TMK.
