■Towing eyelet purpose
The towing eyelet is to be used to tow your vehicle, not to tow other vehicles.
■While towing
If the engine is not running, the power
assist for the brakes and steering will not function, making steering and brak-
ing more difficult.
■Wheel nut wrench
Wheel nut wrench is installed in trunk. ( P.346)
■Rear towing eyelet
If the towing eyelet is installed to the
rear, it can be used in an emergency to tow a vehicle lighter than your vehicle on
a normal road, using a rope.
■When towing another vehicle
For vehicles with BSD/RCTA, make sure
to turn BSD/RCTA off.
As the radar waves will be blocked by the towed vehicle, this system will not
operate properly.
■When installing a towing eyelet to
the rear
When installing a towing eyelet to the
rear, install it using the following proce-
dure.
1 Take out the wheel nut wrench,
flathead screwdriver and towing eye- let. ( P.346)
2 Remove the eyelet cover using a
flathead screwdriver.
To protect the bodywork, place a rag between the screwdriver and the vehicle
body as shown in the illustration.
3 Remove the cover from the bumper.
4 Insert the towing eyelet into the hole and tighten partially by hand.
5 Tighten down the towing eyelet
securely using a wheel nut wrench

●If the tire pressure warning light
comes on even after tire inflation
pressure adjustment, it is probable that you have a flat tire. Check the
tires. If a tire is flat, repair the flat
tire by using emergency tire punc- ture repair kit.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and
braking. If the vehicle tires deterio- rate, you could lose control of the
steering wheel or the brakes.
■If a blowout or sudden air leak-
age should occur
The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.
NOTICE
■To ensure the tire pressure warn-
ing system operates properly
Do not install tires with different speci-
fications or makers, as the tire pres-
sure warning system may not operate
properly.

Check the degree of the tire
damage.
A tire should only be repaired with
the emergency tire puncture repair
If you have a flat tire
Your vehicle is not equipped
with a spare tire, but instead is
equipped with an emergency
tire puncture repair kit.
A puncture caused by a nail or
screw passing through the tire
tread can be repaired tempo-
rarily with the emergency tire
puncture repair kit.

■If you have a flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
Driving even a short distance with a flat tire can damage the tire and the
wheel beyond repair. Driving with a
flat tire may cause a circumferential groove on the side wall. In such a
case, the tire may explode when
using the emergency tire puncture repair kit, resulting in death or serious
injury.

■When fixing the flat tire
●Stop your vehicle in a safe and flat
area.
●Do not touch the wheels or the area
around the brakes immediately after the vehicle has been driven.
After the vehicle has been driven,
the wheels and the area around the
brakes may be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands,
feet or other body parts may result
in burns.
●Connect the valve and hose
securely with the tire installed on the vehicle.
●If the hose is not properly con-nected to the valve, air leakage
may occur or sealant may be
sprayed out.
●If the hose comes off the valve
while inflating the tire, there is a risk that the hose will move abruptly due
to air pressure.
●After inflation of the tire has com-
pleted, the sealant may splatter
when the hose is disconnected or some air is let out of the tire.
●Follow the operation procedure to repair the tire. If the procedure is
not followed, the sealant may spray
out.
●Keep back from the tire while it is
being repaired, as there is a chance of it bursting while the repair opera-
tion is being performed. If you
notice any cracks or deformation of the tire, turn off the compressor
switch and stop the repair operation
immediately.
●The kit may overheat if operated for
a long period of time. Do not oper- ate the compressor continuously for
more than 10 minutes.
●Parts of the kit become hot during operation. Be careful handling the
kit during and after operation. Do
not touch the metal part around the connecting area between the bottle
and compressor. It will be extremely
hot.
●Do not attach the vehicle speed
warning sticker to an area other than the one indicated. If the sticker
is attached to an area where an
SRS airbag is located, such as the pad of the steering wheel, it may
prevent the SRS airbag from oper-
ating properly.
■Driving to spread the liquid seal-
ant evenly
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of accidents.
Failing to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or
serious injury.
●Drive the vehicle carefully at a low
speed. Be especially careful when
turning and cornering.
●If the vehicle does not drive straight
or you feel a pull through the steer- ing wheel, stop the vehicle and
check the tire. The tire may have
separated from the wheel.
NOTICE
■When performing an emergency repair
●Perform the emergency repair with-
out removing the nail or screw that has punctured the tread of the tire.
If the object that has punctured the
tire is removed, repair by the emer- gency tire puncture repair kit may
not be possible.
●The kit is not waterproof. Make sure
that the kit is not exposed to water,
such as when it is being used in the rain.
