PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF YOUR VEHICLE

Punctures
Because this version does not pos-
sess a spare wheel, you have two
aerosols for temporary tyre repairs
stored in an insulated storage box 1
secured by a strap to the right-hand
side of the boot.
Using a repair aerosol
(See also the instructions on the
aerosols).
☞ If possible remove the foreign body
which caused the puncture.
☞ Position the wheel so that the valve
is at the 2 o'clock or 10 o'clock posi-
tion.
☞ Shake the aerosol vigorously befo-
re use. (In very cold weather, warm
the aerosol for a few minutes in your
hands).
☞ In one hand hold the valve.
☞ With the other, firmly push the end
of the aerosol tube onto the valve,
keeping the aerosol centralised.
☞ Maintain the pressure firmly for one
minute, then immediately drive at
moderate speed to the nearest
garage.
Aersosols enable a tempo-
rary repair to be carried out
(maximum speed 50 mph
(80 km/hour)).
After use, it is necessary to replace
the tyre.
Because the aerosols are pres-
surised, they must not be exposed
to a temperature higher than 50°C.
Keep them away from heat in their
insulated storage box.
