Tata Tiago And Tigor Get Puncture Repair Kit As Standard

Tata Motors has silently introduced a puncture repair kit for the Tiago hatchback and Tigor subcompact sedan as a standard feature across their entire variant line-up. While the Tata duo misses out on a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), they will continue to get the 13-inch steel spare wheels.

What is a puncture repair kit and how does it work?

A puncture repair kit contains an air compressor and a liquid sealant. It eliminates the need for a tyre change in case of an emergency by sealing the punctures in the tire tread. Using a tyre repair kit is quite simple. One can temporarily repair the punctured tyre on its own by following these simple steps: – 

  • Open the sealant bottle and screw it firmly into the compressor unit. After that, plug the air hose onto the air valve of the punctured tyre.
  • Now, plug the air compressor into the 12V power socket of the car with the engine running and let the pressure-resistant liquid & air feel the tyre to a recommended pressure (check the repair kit manual)
  • Switch off the compressor and read the actual air pressure from the pressure gauge. 
  • Unplug the compressor and unscrew the hose carefully. Cap the sealant bottle and filler plug again.
  • Slowly drive the vehicle for 3-10 mins/5-10kms, so that sealant can seal the damaged area. (Do not drive the vehicle faster than 80kmph). 
  • Stop the vehicle and recheck the air pressure. If required, adjust the pressure of the tyre.
  • Now you can proceed to drive up to 200kms at a maximum permissible speed of 80 km/hr.

Both offerings continue to be powered by a 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine (86PS/113Nm), mated to either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT transmission.
