Using the tire repair kit
!
Depending on the type of damage on the
tire, the tire sealant could damage the
sensor of the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS)*. Such damage is not cov-
ered by the smart Limited Warranty.
When having the damaged tire replaced,
also have the TPMS sensors* checked for
proper function. When the sensor is dam-
aged, the TPMS* will not function prop-
erly. The sensor must then be replaced at
an authorized electric drive smart
center as soon as possible.
i
Depending on production date of your
vehicle, it will be equipped with version
1 or version 2 of the tire repair kit.
