PUNCTURE REPAIR KIT
●If any foreign object (for example, a screw or
nail) is embedded in the tire, do not remove
it.

REPAIRING TIRE
WARNING
Observe the following precautions when
using the tire repair compound.
●Swallowing the compound is danger-
ous. Immediately drink as much water
as possible and seek prompt medical
assistance.
● Rinse well with lots of water if the com-
pound comes into contact with skin or
eyes. If irritation persists, seek prompt
medical attention.
● Keep the repair compound out of the
reach of children.

NOTE:
The compressor tire pressure gauge may
show a pressure reading of 87 psi (600 kPa)
for about 30 seconds while inflating the
tire. The pressure gauge is indicating the
pressure inside the sealant can. When the
sealant has been injected into the tire the
pressure gauge will drop and indicate ac-
tual tire pressure.
WARNING
●To avoid serious personal injury while
using the emergency tire puncture re-
pair kit:
– Securely tighten the compressor hose to the tire valve. Failure to do so
can cause the sealant to spray into
the air and get into your eyes or on
the skin.
● Do not stand directly beside the dam-
aged tire while it is being inflated be-
cause of the risk of the rupture. If there
are any cracks or bumps, turn the com-
pressor off immediately. If the tire pressure does not increase to
26 psi
(180 kPa) within 10 minutes, the tire may be
seriously damaged and the tire cannot be re-
paired with this tire puncture repair kit. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer for
servicing.
7. When the tire pressure is at the specified amount, turn the air compressor off. If the
pressure cannot be inflated to the specified
amount, the air compressor can be turned
off at the minimum of 26 psi (180 kPa) .
Remove the power plug from the power
outlet and quickly remove the hose from the
tire valve. Attach the protective cap and
valve cap. Properly stow the emergency tire
puncture repair kit in the trunk.
CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury when
stowing the emergency tire puncture re-
pair kit:
●Keep the sealant bottle screwed into
the compressor. Failure to do so can
cause the sealant to spray into the air
and get into your eyes or on the skin. 8. Immediately drive the vehicle for 10 minutes
or 2 miles (3 km) at a speed of 50 MPH
(80 km/h) or less.
9. After driving, make sure that the air com- pressor switch is in the OFF (O) position,
then screw the hose securely onto the tire
valve. Check the tire pressure with the pres-
sure gauge. The temporary repair is com-
pleted if the tire pressure does not drop.
Make sure the pressure is adjusted to the
pressure that is specified on the tire and
loading information label before driving.
10. If the tire pressure drops, repeat the steps from 5 to 9. If the pressure drops again or
under 19 psi (130 kPa) , the tire cannot be
repaired with this tire puncture repair
kit. It is recommended you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this servicing.
The sealant bottle and hose cannot be re-
used to repair another punctured tire. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer
to purchase replacements.
