Models with breakdown set
Models with breakdown set
These vehicles are equipped with either a spare wheel or a breakdown set.
   
The breakdown set is located in the luggage compartment where normally the spare wheel would sit. The breakdown set consists of a compressor -2- and a bottle of tyre sealant -1-.
The tyre sealant in the bottle has a limited shelf-life.
The bottle -1- therefore has an expiry date -arrow-.
Renew tyre sealant when the expiry date is reached (the tyre sealant must not be older than 4 years).
If the bottle has been opened, e.g. to repair a tyre, then it must also be renewed.
Observe regulations for disposal.
