If the bottle is shaken after the injection
hose is screwed on, tyre sealant could
spray out from the injection hose. Tyre
sealant contacting clothing or other
objects may be impossible to remove.
Shake the bottle before screwing on the
injection hose.
NOTE
The tyre sealant can be used at outside
temperatures down to
>+30°C (>+
22°F).
In extremely cold temperatures (0°C
(32°F) or below), the tyre sealant
hardens easily and injection of the
sealant will be difficult. Warm the
sealant inside the vehicle before doing
the injection work.

Never operate the compressor above
300 kPa (3.1 kgf/ c m
2, 3 bar, 43.5 psi):
Operating the compressor above 300
kPa (3.1 kgf/cm
2, 3 bar, 43.5 psi) is
dangerous. When the inflation pressure
rises above 300 kPa (3.1 kgf/cm
2, 3 bar,
43.5 psi), heated air will be exhausted
from the back of the compressor and
you could be burned.
NOTE
xCheck the tyre inflation pressure
label (driver's door frame) for the
correct tyre inflation pressure.
xDo not use the compressor for
longer than 10 minutes because
using the compressor for long
periods could damage it.
xIf the tyre does not inflate, repair of
the tyre may not be possible. If the
tyre does not reach the correct
inflation pressure within a 10-minute
period, it probably has received
more extensive damage. When this
happens, the emergency flat tyre
repair kit cannot be used to repair
the tyre. Contact an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
xIf the tyre has been over-inflated,
loosen the screw cap on the
compressor and bleed some of the
air out.

¾Drive carefully to an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer and keep the vehicle
speed below 80 km/h (50 mph).
¾If the vehicle is driven 80 km/h (50
mph) or higher, the vehicle might
begin to vibrate.
NOTE
(With Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System)
If the tyre is not properly inflated, the
tyre pressure monitoring system
warning light will illuminate (page 7-

¾If the tyre
inflation pressure falls
below 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm
2 or bar,
18.9 psi), repair cannot be done with
the repair kit. Park the vehicle on a
level surface
off the right-of-way and
contact an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
¾If the tyre inflation pressure continues
to remain low after repeating steps
13 to 20, park the vehicle on a level
surface
off the right-of-way and
contact an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
NOTE
When checking the tyre inflation
pressure with the tyre pressure gauge
on the compressor unit, make sure the
compressor switch is turned off.

¾For a tyre which has undergone an
emergency flat tyre repair using the
emergency
flat tyre repair kit, Mazda
recommends that the tyre be
replaced with a new one as soon as
possible. If the tyre is to be repaired
and reused, consult an expert
repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
¾The wheel can be reused after any
sealant adhering to it is wiped off
and carefully inspected. However,
replace the tyre valve with a new one.

Be sure to follow the directions for
changing a tyre:
Changing a tyre is dangerous if not done
properly. The vehicle can slip
off the jack
and seriously injure someone.
No person should place any portion of their
body under a vehicle that is supported by a
jack.
Never allow anyone inside a vehicle
supported by a jack:
Allowing someone to remain in a vehicle
supported by a jack is dangerous. The
occupant could cause the vehicle to fall
resulting in serious injury.
NOTE
Make sure the jack is well lubricated
before using it.

possible to hold the tyre in place.

When jacking-up a vehicle, always shift the
shift lever to 1st or R position (manual
transaxle vehicle) or shift the selector lever
to P position (automatic transaxle vehicle),
apply the parking brake, and place wheel
blocks in the position diagonally opposed
to the jack:
Changing a
flat tyre without using wheel
blocks is dangerous because the vehicle
may move and fall off the jack even with
the shift lever in 1st or R position, or the
selector lever is in P position, which could
result in an accident.
