TIRE REPAIR KIT
Your Revero has no spare tire. Instead, you
have been provided with a tire repair kit
located in the storage space beneath the
trunk floor.
The tire repair kit consists of a canister of
tire sealant and a compressor.
Note: The canister only contains enough
sealant to seal one tire.
The tire sealant contains liquid latex and a
propellant. When injected into the tire
through the valve, the liquid latex
penetrates the puncture site and cures to
form a temporary repair.
Note: The kit can only be used to repair
small punctures in the tire tread. In the
event of punctures larger than 1/4 inch
(6 mm), severe tread damage, a damaged
sidewall, ripped tires or tires that have
come off the rim, please contact your
Roadside Assistance provider.
You are advised to have the tire repaired or
replaced as soon as possible.
CAUTION: Do not drive on a deflated
tire as this can cause serious damage
to the wheel and the vehicle. If the tire is too
badly damaged, call Roadside Assistance
to have the vehicle transported to a repair
facility.
TIRE SEALANT
WARNING: Always read and follow
the safety and handling instructions
on the label adhered to the sealant
canister.
The tire sealant supplied as part of the tire
repair kit has an expiration date printed on
the outside of the canister. Always replace
an expired tire sealant canister. If the tire
sealant has passed its expiration date, it
may not work as expected when you need
to use it in an emergency.
The tire sealant should always be replaced
with one of the same type and capacity.
This tire sealant has been approved for use
with your Revero and will not damage the
TPMS sensors.
Tire sealant canisters are available from all
Karma Service Providers.
Note: The sealant/air hose assembly will
need to be replaced after each use. See
“Replacing the Canister/Air Hose
Assembly” on page 141.
