Repaired tyres are only suitable for temporary use.

Fig. 227 The Tyre Mobility System is NOT suitable for repairing this type of damage to tyres.

Your vehicle is equipped with a tyre repair kit: the Tyre Mobility System (TMS).

In the event of a puncture you will find the TMS, which consists of a sealing compound and a compressor, located under the floor panel in the luggage compartment.

The TMS will reliably seal tyres damaged by foreign bodies, provided that the cuts or punctures are no larger than approx. 4 mm in diameter.

It is not necessary to remove the foreign body from the tyre.

The sealing compound must not be used:

• on cuts and punctures larger than 4 mm ⇒ fig. 227 1
• if the wheel rim has been damaged 2
• if you have been driving with very low pressure or a completely flat tyre 3.

How to use the TMS is described in the section Repairing a tyre and in the instructions supplied with the tyre sealant can.

The TMS can be used at outside temperatures down to – 20 °C.

WARNING
After repairing a tyre please note the following points:
• Do not drive faster than 80 km/h.
• Avoid heavy acceleration, hard braking and fast cornering.
• Vehicle handling could be impaired.
• Tyres which have been sealed using the TMS are only suitable for temporary use. Damaged tyres must be renewed.
• The TMS must NOT be used,
− on cuts and punctures larger than 4 mm
− if the wheel rim has been damaged
− if you have been driving with very low pressure or a completely flat tyre
• Seek professional assistance if the repair of a tyre puncture is not possible with the sealing compound.
• Do not allow the sealant to come into contact with your eyes, skin or clothing.
• If you do come into contact with the sealant immediately rinse the eyes or skin affected with clean water.
• Change clothing immediately if it becomes soiled with the tyre sealant.
• Make sure you do not breathe in the fumes!
• If any of the tyre sealant is accidentally ingested, immediately rinse the mouth thoroughly and drink lots of water.
• Do not induce vomiting. Immediately contact a doctor!
• If any allergic reactions should occur get medical help immediately.
• Keep the sealant away from children.

For the sake of the environment
Used bottles of sealing compound can be returned to an Audi dealer for disposal.

Note
• If sealant should leak out, leave it to dry. When it has dried, you can pull it off like a piece of foil.
• Observe the expiry date stated on the sealing compound can.

Have the sealing compound exchanged by a qualified workshop.
