Emergency puncture repair
General
The emergency puncture repair kit is used to
seal the puncture and to check and adjust
the tyre pressure. It consists of a compressor
and a bottle with sealing fluid. The kit works
as a temporary repair. The sealing fluid bottle
must be replaced before its expiration date
and after use. For information on replace-
ment, see page 202 for type 1 or page 206
for type 2.
The sealing fluid effectively seals tyres punc-
tured in the tread.
The emergency puncture repair kit has limit-
ed capacity to seal tyres which have punc-
tures in the wall. Do not seal tyres with the
emergency puncture repair kit if they have
larger slits, cracks or similar damage.
12 V sockets for the compressor are located
by the centre console in the front, by the rear
seat and in the cargo area. Choose the elec-
trical socket that is nearest the punctured
tyre.

repair kit

ficked location. The emergency puncture re-
pair kit is located under the floor in the cargo

ward.
