cially with larger punctures or dam-
age to the sidewall, cannot be
sealed completely.

What to do in an emergency If you have a flat tyre (with tyre mobility kit)

Air pressure loss in the tyre may

adversely affect tyre performance.
For this reason, you should avoid
abrupt steering or other driving
manoeuvres, especially if the vehicle
is heavily loaded or if a trailer is in
use.
The Tyre Mobility Kit is not designed
or intended as a permanent tyre
repair method and is to be used for
one tyre only. This instruction
shows you step by step how to
temporarily seal the puncture sim-
ply and reliably.
Read the section "Notes on the safe
use of the Tyre Mobility Kit" on page
6-32.

WARNING 6
Do not use the TMK if a tyre is
severely damaged by driving run flat
or with insufficient air pressure.
Only punctured areas located within
the tread region of the tyre can be
sealed using the TMK.

WARNING 1. Shake the sealant bottle.

Expired sealant
Do not use the Tyre sealant after
the sealant has expired (i.e. past the
expiration date on the sealant con-
tainer). This can increase the risk of
tyre failure.

CAUTION
Always be sure to clean the area
around any filler plug, drain plug, or
dipstick before checking or draining
any lubricant. This is especially
important in dusty or sandy areas
and when the vehicle is used on
unpaved roads. Cleaning the plug
and dipstick areas will prevent dirt
and grit from entering the engine
and other mechanisms that could be
damaged.

Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has

an effect on fuel economy and cold
weather operating (engine start and
engine oil flowability). Lower viscos-
ity engine oils can provide better
fuel economy and cold weather per-
formance, however, higher viscosity
engine oils are required for satisfac-
tory lubrication in hot weather.
Using oils of any viscosity other 8
than those recommended could
result in engine damage.
When choosing an oil, consider the
range of temperature your vehicle
will be operated in before the next
oil change. Proceed to select the
recommended oil viscosity from the
