■Driving to spread the liquid sealant evenly
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failing to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and ca use death
or serious injury.
●Drive the vehicle carefully at a low speed. Be especially caref ul when
turning and cornering.
●If the vehicle does not drive straight or you feel a pull throu gh the
steering wheel, stop the vehi cle and check the following.
• Tire condition. The tire may have separated f rom the wheel.
• Tire inflation pressure. If the tire inflation pressure is 19 p si
(130 kPa, 1.3 kgf/cm
2 or bar) or less, the tire may be severely dam-
aged.
NOTICE
■When performing an emergency repair
●A tire should only be repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair
kit if the damage is caused by a sharp object such as nail or s crew
passing through the tire tread.
Do not remove the sharp object from the tire. Removing the obje ct may
widen the opening and disenable e mergency repair with the repair kit.
●The repair kit is not waterproof. Make sure that the repair kit is not
exposed to water, such as when it is being used in the rain.
●Do not put the repair kit direct ly onto dusty ground such as sa nd at the
side of the road. If the repair kit vacuums up dust etc., a mal function
may occur.
■Precautions for the emergency tire puncture repair kit
●The repair kit power source should be 12 V DC suitable for vehi cle
use. Do not connect the repa ir kit to any other source.
●If fuel splatters on the repair kit, the repair kit may deterio rate. Take
care not to allow fuel to contact it.
●Place the repair kit in a stor age to prevent it from being exposed to dirt
or water.
●Store the repair kit in the luggage compartment out of reach of chil-
dren.
●Do not disassemble or modify the repair kit. Do not subject par ts such
as the air pressure indicator to impacts. This may cause a malf unction.
