A Must-Have Skill for Experienced Drivers

Good tires provide outstanding design and excellent performance, however extreme road conditions or unexpected situations may cause tire damage. Most experienced drivers know how to perform temporary tire repair in such an emergency. This article will explain in detail how to use the HiPhi X emergency toolkit to complete an emergency tire repair, allowing you to calmly handle a punctured tire situation.


Ensure the Safety of People and Vehicles

When a tire malfunction occurs, the first priority should be to ensure that both people and the vehicle are in a relatively safe environment. Park the car on a flat, spacious surface, and engage the parking brake. Turn on the hazard warning lights, set up a warning sign, and wear a reflective vest.


You will need to prepare tire repair fluid and an air pump. Attach the tire repair fluid canister to the air pump inlet, then connect it to the damaged tire's valve. Plug the air pump into the 12V power supply. Make sure the vehicle is powered on, then turn on the air pump switch and observe the pressure gauge. Once the tire pressure reaches 2.6-2.8 bar (approximately 5-12 minutes), turn off the air pump power and disconnect the devices.


A Few Tips to Keep in Mind:

• When connecting the nozzle to the air pump, the tire will be briefly deflated. Make sure to screw the nozzle tightly to ensure there are no air leaks at the connection.

• When the air pump starts working, the tire pressure may temporarily reach 6 bar. However, don't worry – it will return to normal shortly.

• If the tire pressure cannot reach a normal value within 12 minutes, it indicates severe tire damage. Please call for assistance immediately.


As HiPhi X tires have soundproofing material inside, Continental from Germany is chosen as the supplier for tire repair fluid. It can adapt well to tires with soundproofing material and features a unique "instant seal" technology. This technology can reduce air leakage during the repair process by 60-80%, increasing repair efficiency.


Verify the Repair Effectiveness

Once you have completed the tire repair, drive at a speed not exceeding 80 km/h for 3-10 km, then stop and check the tire pressure using the air pump. If the tire pressure is normal (not lower than 2.5 bar), you can continue driving. If it is below 2.5 bar, you will need to check the tire pressure again to ensure the safety of your vehicle.

The onboard tire repair kit is for emergency use only! If the tire pressure remains above 2.5 bar after repair, drive at a speed not exceeding 80 km/h to a professional repair center for proper tire repair. Remember not to drive more than 200 km after an emergency tire repair.


We hope this article can help you stay calm and collected in the face of punctured tire problems, ensuring safe driving. Please follow traffic regulations and have a pleasant driving experience!
