Tires: Description and Operation

Tire Repair Kit

The New Beetle convertible is equipped with a flat tire kit.

The flat tire kit is located in luggage compartment, where the spare wheel is stored. The kit contains a bottle of tire sealant next to the compressor.





Tire Sealant

Tire sealant in the bottle has a limited shelf life.

Therefore the minimum shelf life date - arrow - is marked on the bottle.

In this example, the minimum shelf life date 05/2003 has expired, the bottle must then be replaced.





If the bottle was opened, e.g. for a flat tire, it must also be replaced.
