U.S.A. And CANADA Markets:
Proceed as follows:
1. Pull over to a safe location and turn
on the vehicle’s hazard warning lights.
2. Verify that the valve stem (on the
wheel with the deflated tire) is in a
position that is near to the ground. This
will allow the tire service kit hoses to
reach the valve stem and keep the tire
service kit flat on the ground. This will
provide the best positioning of the kit
when injecting the sealant into the
deflated tire and running the air pump.
Move the vehicle as necessary to place
the valve stem in this position before
proceeding.
3. Shift the gear selector to Reverse (R)
for a manual transmission, and shift the
gear selector to Park (P) for an
automatic transmission.
4. Apply the parking brake with the
brake pedal depressed and turn off the
engine.
5. Unload passengers and cargo and
remove the tire service kit.6. Shake the sealant bottle to mix the
contents. Then extend the injection
hose.Note:Do not shake the bottle
excessively. Otherwise, the sealant
could spray out of the injection hose,
and if the sealant contacts clothing or
other objects, you may not be able to
remove it.
The sealant hardens easily and
injecting it will be difficult under cold
weather conditions (32 °F (0 °C) or
below). Warm the sealant inside the
vehicle to facilitate injection.
7. Pull out the air compressor hose
and the air compressor plug from the
air compressor.

Warning!
Never use the air compressor above
43.5 psi (3 Bar). Using the air compressor
at an inflation pressure above 3 Bar
(43.5 psi) continuously is dangerous. If the
air compressor overheats, hot air will be
exhausted and you could get burned.
Caution!
If the tire inflation pressure does not
increase, repair of the tire is not possible. If
the tire does not reach the specified tire
inflation pressure within 10 minutes, it may
have received extensive damage. In this
case, the repair using the tire service kit
was not successful.
Do not operate the air compressor for a
continuous 10 minutes or longer because
using it for long periods could cause a
malfunction.
13. Adhere the speed restriction sticker
to an area where it can be viewed easily
by the driver.
Warning!
Do not adhere the speed restriction sticker
to the padded area on the steering wheel.
Adhering the speed restriction sticker to
the padded area on the steering wheel is
dangerous because the air bag may not
operate (deploy) normally resulting in
serious injury. In addition, do not adhere
the sticker to areas where warning lights or
the speedometer cannot be viewed.
14. Adhere the repaired tire sticker to
the wheel of the flat tire.
15. When the tire inflates to the
specified tire inflation pressure, turn the
air compressor switch off, turn the
sleeve of the injection hose to the left,
and pull it out of the tire valve. 16. Remove the air compressor hose
from the injection valve of the bottle.
Then, install the injection hose to the
injection valve of the bottle to prevent
leakage of any remaining sealant.
Note:
The remaining sealant in the
hose may spray out when the hose is
removed. Remove the hose carefully
because you may not be able to
remove the sealant contacting clothing
or other objects.
17. Install the tire valve cap.
18. Place the tire service kit back into
its storage location.
19. Start driving immediately to spread
the sealant in the tire.
