- Fig. 2 The tyre repair kit is NOT suitable for repairing this type of damage to tyres.
Repaired tyres are only suitable for temporary use.
Your vehicle is equipped with a tyre repair kit (Tyre Mobility System).
The kit is located under the floor panel in the luggage compartment and consists of a sealing compound and a compressor Fig. 1.
The tyre repair kit will reliably seal tyres damaged by foreign bodies, provided that the cuts or punctures are no larger than approx. 4 mm in diameter.
It is not necessary to remove the foreign body from the tyre.
The sealing compound must not be used:
- on cuts and punctures larger than 4 mm Fig. 2 -1-
- if the wheel rim has been damaged -2-
- if you have been driving with very low pressure or a completely flat tyre -3-.
How to use the tyre repair kit is described in the section Repairing a tyre Link and in the instructions supplied with the tyre sealant can.
The repair kit can be used at outside temperatures down to – 20 °C.

After repairing a tyre please note the following points:
- Do not drive faster than 80 km/h.
- Avoid heavy acceleration, hard braking and fast cornering.
