After using the kit:
•
Do not drive your vehicle more than
200 km (124 mi) before repairing or
replacing the punctured tire.
•
Inform all other users of your vehicle
that a tire was sealed using the kit.
Make them aware of the special driving
conditions that must be adhered to.
•
Regularly check the tire pressure until
the sealed tire is repaired or replaced
by a tire specialist. Before the tire is
removed from the wheel rim, you must
inform the tire specialist that the tire

the compressor and discard it in your
household waste or return it to an
authorized dealer.

intervals between 5,000 km (3,000 mi)
and 10,000 km (6,000 mi).
