CAUTION
When fixing the flat tire
Stop your vehicle in a safe and flat area.
Connect the valve and hose securely with the tire installed on the vehicle.
If the hose is not properly connected to the valve, air leakage may occur or
sealant may be sprayed out.
If the hose comes off the valve while inflating the tire, there is a risk that
the hose will move abruptly due to air pressure.
After inflation of the tire has been completed, the sealant may splatter
when the hose is disconnected or some air is let out of the tire.
Keep back from the tire while it is being repaired, as there is a chance of it
bursting while the repair operation is being performed. If you notice any
cracks or deformation of the tire, turn off the compressor switch and stop
the repair operation immediately.
The kit may overheat if operated for a long period of time. Do not operate
the compressor continuously for more than 10 minutes.
Parts of the kit become hot during operation. Be careful handling the kit
during and after operation.
Do not attach the vehicle speed warning sticker to an area other than the
one indicated. If the sticker is attached to an area where an SRS airbag is
located, such as the pad of the steering wheel, it may prevent the SRS air-
bag from operating properly.
Driving to spread the liquid sealant evenly
Drive the vehicle carefully at a low speed. Be especially careful when
turning and cornering.
If the vehicle does not drive straight or you feel a pull through the steering
wheel, stop the vehicle and check the following:
• Tire condition. The tire may have separated from the wheel.
• Tire inflation pressure. If tire inflation pressure is 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/
cm
2 or bar, 19 psi) or below, this may indicate severe tire damage.

NOTICE
Do not drive the vehicle with a flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
Driving even a short distance with a flat tire can damage the tire and the
wheel beyond repair.
When performing an emergency repair
Perform the emergency repair without removing the nail or screw that has
punctured the tread of the tire. If the object that has punctured the tire is
removed, repair by the emergency tire puncture repair kit may not be pos-
sible.
The kit is not waterproof. Make sure that the kit is not exposed to water,
such as when it is being used in the rain.
Do not put the kit directly onto dusty ground such as sand at the side of
the road. If the kit vacuums up dust etc., a malfunction may occur.
Use the kit with the top facing upward. The kit cannot work properly if it
is laid on its side.
Handling the emergency tire puncture repair kit
The compressor power source should be 12 V DC suitable for vehicle use.
Do not connect the compressor to any other source.
If gasoline splatters on the kit, the kit may deteriorate. Take care not to
allow gasoline to touch it.
Store the kit in its assigned place out of reach of children.
Do not disassemble or modify the kit. Do not subject parts such as the air
pressure indicator to impacts. This may cause a malfunction.
