WARNING
Do not attempt to repair a puncture with the sealing compound if the
tyre has been damaged by driving the vehicle after the tyre has lost its air.
Always observe warnings and follow safety instructions concerning
compressor and sealing compound carefully.
Do not drive faster than 80 km/h, avoid heavy acceleration, hard
braking and fast cornering.
Tyres which have been repaired with sealing compound are only suit-
able for temporary use over a short period. Therefore, please drive carefully
to the next available specialised workshop.
For the sake of the environment
If you have to dispose of a sealant can, go to a specialised waste service or to
a SEAT Technical Service, where the product can be recycled in an appropriate
waste container.
Note
If sealant should leak out, leave it to dry. This way you can pull it off like a
piece of foil.
Observe the expiry date stated on the sealing compound can. Have the
sealing compound exchanged by a specialised workshop.
Seek professional assistance if the repair of a tyre puncture is not
possible with the sealing compound.
What to do first

If you have a flat tyre or puncture, park the vehicle as far away
from the flow of traffic as possible.
–Apply the handbrake firmly.
Engage first gear, or put the selector lever to position P.
–All passengers should leave the vehicle. They should wait in a
safe area (for instance behind the roadside crash barrier).
Check whether a repair is possible using the Tyre Mobility System
“General information and safety notes.”
Unscrew inflation cap from the affected wheel.
Take the tyre repair kit out of the luggage compartment.
WARNING
Switch on the hazard warning lights and place the warning triangles in
position. This is for your own safety and also warns other road users.

Take special care if you have to repair a tyre on a slope.
Note
Please observe legal requirements when doing so.
