4. Immediately drive for 6 - 12 miles (10 - 20 km) (or to the tyre depot if nearer) in a moderate manner and
not exceeding 30 mph (45 km/h), to allow the sealant to spread. Then check and adjust the tyre pressure
as necessary.
5. Have the tyre professionally repaired or replaced at the earliest opportunity, and until such time, limit speed
to 30 mph (45 km/h) with a moderate driving manner. Note that some tyre repairers may make an addi-
tional charge for cleaning the sealant off the tyre before repair, and that any subsequent repairs may not be
guaranteed.
6. Replace the inflator canister.
GF.4 - SECURITY WHEELNUTS
On cars so equipped, each of the four road wheels is fitted with one security keyed wheel nut in order to
deter theft and vandalism. The special splined security nut requires a matching key coded socket before it may
be removed using a standard 19mm wheelbrace. For aesthetic purposes, the coded nut is capped by a metal
cover, which may be removed using an extractor tool stowed, together with the key coded socket, in a grommet in
the windscreen buttress, at the right hand rear corner of the front services compartment.
Push the extractor over the cover until it clips onto the rim, and withdraw the cover. Mate the key coded
socket with the nut, and undo using a standard 19mm wheelbrace.
