There is otherwise a risk of personal injury. Do not use the repair kit if: • the damage to the tire is larger than 0.16 in. (4 mm). Change the punctured tire as soon as possible. Replenish the repair kit at a workshop. We recommend that you contact an authorized Saab workshop. The canister of sealant must be changed once every four years. See the date on the canister. The handling characteristics of the car may be impaired. Driving with a tire that is underinflated or has a puncture can damage the tire in such a way that it is not possible to repair it with the sealant. The tire repair kit replaces the spare wheel. The repair kit allows a punctured tire to be temporarily repaired and reinflated without needing to remove the wheel. Minor damage to the tire, such as a foreign object that has penetrated the tread, can be temporarily repaired with the repair kit. Do not remove the foreign object. Damage larger than 0.16 in. (4 mm) and damage to the sidewalls cannot be repaired with the repair kit. Follow the instructions supplied with the repair kit carefully. If the compressor sounds strange or becomes abnormally hot, leave it switched off for at least 30 minutes. Tightening sequence, wheel bolts • the wheel is damaged. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) after repairing one of the car tires with the repair kit.
