TYRE REPAIR KIT
If you are in any doubt regarding your ability to carry out the instructions, contact a Retailer/ Authorised Repairer before attempting the repair.
For vehicles not supplied with a spare wheel, there will be a tyre repair kit under the loadspace floor panel.
The tyre repair kit can be used to repair one punctured tyre and it is essential that you read the complete tyre repair kit section of this handbook before attempting to repair a tyre.
The tyre repair kit will seal most punctures with a maximum diameter of 6 mm.
Note: The sealant used in the tyre repair kit has a shelf life and the expiry date is shown on the tyre sealant bottle. Make sure that the container is replaced before the expiry date. Also make sure that the sealant is renewed after each use.
