TIREFIT kit
Important safety notes
TIREFIT is a tire sealant.
For USA only: You can use TIREFIT to seal punc-
tures of up to 0.16 in (4 mm), particularly those
in the tire tread. You can use TIREFIT at outside
temperatures down to Ò4 ‡ (Ò20 †).

unable to provide sufficient breakdown assis-
tance, as it is unable to seal the tire properly:

there are cuts or punctures in the tire larger
than those mentioned above.
R
the wheel rim is damaged.
R
you have driven at very low tire pressures or
on a flat tire.
There is a risk of an accident.
Do not drive the vehicle. Contact a qualified
specialist workshop.

tion. It must not come into contact with your

your eyes, immediately rinse them thor-
oughly with clean water.
