The PHEV has an automatic inflation tyre repair liquid (sealant) instead of a spare wheel. It's stored under the boot floor.
If a tyre goes flat while you're driving, slow down gradually, hold the steering wheel with both hands and keep straight. Stop somewhere safe away from traffic.
Caution:Don't keep driving on a flat tyre. Even a short distance can damage it beyond repair.
1. Get ready
- 1Stop on firm, level ground.
- 2Apply the parking brake and select P.
- 3Switch the vehicle power OFF and turn on the hazard lights.
- 4Get everyone out of the car and away from traffic.
- 5Put on the reflective vest and place the warning triangle 50–150 m behind the car, depending on conditions.
2. Use the repair liquid
- 1Open the boot, lift the boot floor carpet and take out the tyre repair liquid.
- 2Shake the bottle well, then tear off the safety seal on the connector valve.
- 3Screw the connector valve onto the tyre valve.
- 4Turn the red valve clockwise and hold the bottle upside down to start filling the tyre.
- 5When the liquid has gone in, close the valve anticlockwise and unscrew the connector.
- 6Immediately drive at least 6 miles (10 km) to spread the sealant and complete the repair.
- For the first 6 miles (10 km), keep below 49 mph (80 km/h). After that you can drive at normal speed.
- After a repair the tyre should support at least 310 miles (500 km) of driving – but have it repaired or replaced at an authorised Jaecoo service centre or tyre shop as soon as possible.
Note:Check the expiry date on the bottle before use. Each bottle is single-use (one wheel only) – buy a replacement from an authorised Jaecoo service centre.
Limits and safety
Warning:It only repairs punctures in the tread up to 6 mm across. Damage to the shoulder, sidewall or valve can't be repaired. For holes over 6 mm, contact an authorised Jaecoo service centre immediately.
Warning:If you need to pull out the object that caused the puncture, first move the car slightly so the hole is at the bottom (6 o'clock) before filling.
Warning:Keep the liquid off your skin and out of your eyes, and away from children. If it gets in your eyes, rinse with clean water and get medical help immediately. Wash or wipe off any that splashes on the tyre or rim.
Warning:Driving on a punctured, leaking tyre can cause a blowout. After using the sealant, drive the 6 miles (10 km) straight away – don't stop and wait.
Warning:Between -40 °C and 0 °C, warm the bottle to 0 °C or above with the car's heater so it fills properly.
Warning:Store the bottle between -40 °C and 70 °C, out of direct sunlight and away from naked flames. Keep it secured in the tool box under the boot floor, not in the cabin.
