If you have a flat tire (vehicles without a spare tire)

Check the degree of the tire damage.
A tire should only be repaired with the
emergency tire puncture repair kit if
the damage is caused by a nail or screw
passing through the tire tread.
• Do not remove the nail or screw
from the tire. Removing the object
may widen the opening and disen-
able emergency repair with the kit.
• To avoid sealant leakage, move the vehicle until the area of the puncture, if
known, is positioned at the top of the tire.
Take out the repair kit from the tool box.
Remove the valve cap from the valve
of the punctured tire.
Remove the protective film from the
bottle and extend the hose. Remove
the air release cap from the hose.
Attach the sticker enclosed with the bot-
tle on the specified locations. (See step
9. )
You will use the air release cap again.
Therefore keep it in a safe place.
