Make sure to read and fully understand the following warnings and cautions. Failure to comply could result in serious injury, death, or vehicle damage.
Regularly check the condition of the tyres, especially if the vehicle is driven off-road. If a foreign object is identified, seek qualified assistance.
Self-sealing tyres reduce the impact of tread penetrations. Do not drive the vehicle with a tyre that has damage to the sidewall.
Do not attempt to repair a self-sealing tyre with a tyre repair system.
If the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) warning lamp illuminates, stop the vehicle in a safe place and inspect the tyres. If in doubt, seek qualified assistance. See TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) (YELLOW).
Any repair performed on the tread area of a self-sealing tyre may reduce the self-sealing ability, or damage the tyre beyond repair.
Vehicles supplied with self-sealing tyres may not have a tyre repair system or spare wheel, jack and tools fitted as standard equipment.
Self-sealing tyres are identified by one of the symbols shown below on the tyre’s sidewall.
Continental.
Goodyear.
Michelin.
Pirelli.
A self-sealing tyre can seal punctures in the tread area up to a maximum of 5 mm. In the event of a tyre self-sealing, and no tyre pressure loss, it is not necessary to stop immediately for a tyre change and the journey may continue. When a puncture is observed, have it checked at the earliest opportunity by a tyre repair centre or a retailer/authorised repairer.
It is recommended that self-sealing tyres are replaced with the same make and type. Fitting a tyre that is not self-sealing may result in the vehicle being immobilised in the event of a puncture on the replacement tyre. See REPLACEMENT TYRES.
