■ Emergency tire puncture repair
kit
● The sealant stored in the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit can
be used only once to temporarily
repair a single tire. If the sealant in
the bottle and other parts of the kit
have been used and need to be
replaced, contact your SUBARU
dealer.
● The compressor can be used
repeatedly.
● The sealant can be used when the
outside temperature is from -40°F
(-40°C) to 140°F (60°C).
● The kit is exclusively designed for
size and type of tires originally
installed on your vehicle. Do not
use it for tires that a different size
than the original ones, or for any
other purposes.
● If the sealant gets on your clothes,
it may stain.
● If the sealant adheres to a wheel
or the surface of the vehicle body,
the stain may not be removable if
it is not cleaned at once. Immedi-
ately wipe away the sealant with a
wet cloth.
● During operation of the repair kit,
a loud operation noise is pro-
duced. This does not indicate a
malfunction.
● Do not use to check or to adjust
the tire pressure.
■ Note for checking the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit
● Check the sealant expiry date
occasionally. The expiry date is
shown on the bottle.
● Do not use sealant whose expiry
date has already passed. Other-
wise, repairs conducted using the
emergency tire puncture repair kit
may not be performed properly.
● The sealant has a limited life
span. The expiry date is marked
on the bottle. The sealant should
be replaced before the expiry
date. Contact your SUBARU
dealer for replacement.
WARNING
■ If you have 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 a repair kit.
