Certain steps must be taken before repairing a tyre.
If you have a flat tyre, stop the car well away from moving traffic.
Apply the parking brake to stop the vehicle moving accidentally.
Move the selector lever to position P (automatic gearbox) or engage 1st gear (manual gearbox).
Check whether a repair is possible using the tyre repair kit Link.
Ensure that all passengers leave the vehicle and move away from the danger area WARNING!.
Take the tyre sealant can and the compressor out of the luggage compartment Link.
Fix the sticker "max. 80 km/h", which is included with the tyre sealant can, onto the instrument cluster where the driver will see it.
- If you have a puncture in moving traffic, switch on the hazard warning lights and place the warning triangle in a visible location. This is for your own safety and also warns other road users.
- Make sure your passengers wait in a safe place (for instance behind the roadside crash barrier).
Caution!
Take special care if you have to repair a tyre on a gradient.
