2023 SUBARU SOLTERRA airbag

5368-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Owners Manual_USA_M42C01_en
WARNING
●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 as 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
completed, the sealant may
splatter when the hose is dis-
connected or some air is let out
of the tire.
●Follow the operation procedure
to repair the tire. If the proce-
dure 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 operation is being per-
formed. If you notice any cracks
or deformation of the tire, turn
off the compressor switch and
stop the repair operation imme-
diately.
●The repair kit may overheat if
operated for a long period of
time. Do not operate the com-
pressor continuously for more
than 40 minutes.
●Parts of the repair kit become
hot during operation. Be careful
handling the repair kit during
and after operation. Do not
touch the metal part connecting
the bottle and the 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
air bag from operating properly.
■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 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 steering wheel, stop
the vehicle and check the fol-
lowing:
• Tire condition. The tire may have separated from the wheel.
• Tire inflation pressure. If the tire inflation pressure is 19 psi (130
kPa, 1.3 kgf/cm
2 or bar) or less,
the tire may be severely dam-
aged.
NOTICE
■When performing an emer-
gency repair
●Perform the emergency repair
without removing the nail or
screw that has punctured the
tread of the tire. If the object
that has punctur ed the tire is
removed, repair by the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit
may not be possible.
●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.

Votre véhicule est équipé de COUSSINS GONFLABLES INTELLI-
GENTS (ADVANCED AIRBAGS) conçus selon les normes de sécu-
rité américaines applicables aux véhicules à moteur (FMVSS208).
Le boîtier électronique de coussins gonflables (ECU) utilise le s infor-
mations reçues des capteurs, etc. détaillés dans le schéma ci-d es-
sus de composition du système pour commander le déploiement
des coussins gonflables. Ces inf ormations comprennent des infor-
mations sur la gravité de la collision et les occupants. Le déploie-
ment rapide des coussins gonflables est obtenu au moyen d’une
réaction chimique dans les dispositifs pyrotechniques, qui produit un
gaz inoffensif permettant d’amortir le mouvement des occupants.
