Emergency puncture repair
07
General
Cars which do not have a spare wheel are in-
stead equipped with an emergency puncture
repair kit. The emergency puncture repair kit
can be used to both seal the puncture and to
check and adjust the tyre pressure. The
emergency puncture repair kit consists of an
electric air compressor and an integrated
canister with sealing liquid.

The emergency puncture repair kit

is only in-
tended 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 capacity 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 158.
See page 158 for information on canister re-
placement.
NOTE
The jack is an option on cars equipped with
emergency puncture repair kit.
