Land Rover Discovery: Tyre repair kit safety information
- Some tyre damage may only be
partially sealed, or may not seal

and type of damage. Any loss of
tyre pressure can seriously affect
vehicle safety.
- Do not use the tyre repair kit if
the tyre has been damaged by
driving while under-inflated.
- Tyre tread area.
- Only use the tyre repair kit to seal
damage located within the tyre
tread area (A).
- Do not use the tyre repair kit to
seal damage to the tyre's
sidewall.
- Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph)
when a repaired tyre is fitted to
the vehicle.
- The maximum distance that
should be driven when a repaired
tyre is fitted, is 200 km.
- When a repaired tyre is fitted,
drive with caution and avoid
sudden braking or steering
manoeuvres.
- Only use the tyre repair kit for the
vehicle with which it was supplied.
- Do not use the tyre repair kit for
any other purpose than tyre
repair.
- Never leave the tyre repair kit
unattended, when in use.
Only use the tyre repair kit within
the -30ºC to +70ºC temperature
range.
- Always keep children and animals
at a safe distance from the tyre
repair kit, when in use.
- Do not stand directly beside the
compressor when it is operating.
Check the tyre's sidewall before
inflation. If any cracks, damage,
or deformities are apparent, do
not inflate the tyre.
- Watch the tyre's sidewall during
inflation. If any cracks, bumps or
similar damage, or deformities
appear, switch off the compressor
and deflate the tyre. Do not

USING THE TYRE REPAIR KIT
Avoid skin contact with the
sealant, which contains natural
rubber latex.
- Before attempting a tyre repair,
make sure the vehicle is parked
safely, as far away from passing
traffic as possible.
- Make sure that the Electric Parking
Brake (EPB) is applied and Park (P)
is engaged.
- Do not attempt to remove foreign
objects, such as nails, screws, etc.,
from the tyre.
- Always run the engine when using
the compressor, unless the vehicle
is in an enclosed or poorly
ventilated space, as this may cause
asphyxiation.
- To prevent overheating, do not
operate the compressor
continuously for longer than 10
minutes.
Note: All vehicle drivers and occupants
should be made aware that a temporary
repair has been made to a tyre fitted to
the vehicle. They should also be made
aware of the special driving conditions
imposed when using a repaired tyre.
