Emergency puncture repair
General
Cars which do not have a spare wheel are instead
equipped with an emergency puncture
repair kit. This kit can be used to both seal
the puncture and to check and adjust the tyre
pressure. The kit consists of an electric air
compressor and an integrated canister with
sealing liquid.
Emergency puncture repair kit
The emergency puncture repair kit 1 is only intended
to work as a temporary repair so that
the car can be driven a further 200 km (max.)
or to the nearest tyre centre. The sealing fluid
has the ability to effectively seal tyres which
have punctures in the tread.
The sealing fluid canister should be replaced
before its expiration date or after use of the
puncture repair kit.
The expiration date is located on the front of
the compressor, see the illustration on
page 168.
See page 168 for information on canister replacement.
