Do not use the kit on a previouslydamaged tyre, for example when ithas been driven under inflated.
WARNINGS
Do not use the kit on run flat tyre.
Do not try to seal damage other thanthat located within the visible treadof the tyre.

WARNING
When using winter tyres on yourvehicle, you must make sure that youfit the correct type of wheel nuts.
If winter tyres are used, make sure that thetyre pressures are correct. See TechnicalSpecifications (page 164).
USING SNOW CHAINS
WARNINGS
Do not exceed 30 mph (50 km/h).
Do not use snow chains on snow-freeroads.
Only fit snow chains to specifiedtyres. See TechnicalSpecifications (page 164).
If your vehicle has wheel trims,remove them before fitting snowchains.
Note:The anti-lock braking system willcontinue to operate normally.
Only use small link snow chains.
Only use snow chains on the front wheels.
Vehicles With Stability Control
When stability control is on, your vehiclemay exhibit some unusual drivingcharacteristics. To reduce this, switchtraction control off. See Using StabilityControl (page 103).
TYRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM
WARNINGS
The system does not relieve you ofyour responsibility to regularly checkthe tyre pressures.
The system will only provide a lowtyre pressure warning. It will notinflate the tyres.
Do not drive on significantlyunder-inflated tyres. This may causethe tyres to overheat and fail.Under-inflation reduces fuel efficiency, tyretread life and may also affect your abilityto drive your vehicle safely.
Do not bend or damage the valveswhen you are inflating the tyres.
Have tyres installed by an authoriseddealer.
The deflation detection system will alertyou if there is a change of air pressure inany tyre. It does this by using the anti-lockbraking sensors to detect the rollingcircumference of the wheels. When thecircumference changes, this indicates lowtyre pressure. A warning message isdisplayed in the information display andthe message indicator will illuminate. SeeInformation Messages (page 62).
If a low pressure warning message isdisplayed in the information display, checkthe tyre pressures as soon as possible andinflate them to the recommendedpressure. See Technical Specifications(page 164).
If this happens frequently, have the causedetermined and rectified as soon aspossible.
