Tire Repair Kit, Checking





The tire repair kit is located in the spare wheel well - arrow -

In addition to the compressor, the tire repair kit contains a tire inflation cylinder with sealant.





The tire sealant in the bottle has a limited shelf-life.

Therefore, on the bottle, the expiration date - arrow - is displayed.

In this example, the expiration date 05/2003 has passed, and the bottle must then be replaced.

- Verify the expiration date.

- Replace tire sealant, if expiration date has been reached.

CAUTION!
Tire sealant must not be older than 4 years.

If the bottle was opened, e.g. for a flat tire, it must also be replaced.

Residual tire sealant or full bottles, which have expired, must be disposed of.

Old tire sealant or remainder of it must not be mixed with other fluids and must be disposed of.
