SUBARU dealer that is less
than 62 miles (100 km) away
for tire repair or replacement.
For repair and replacement of a tire
or disposal of the tire puncture
repair kit, contact your SUBARU
dealer.
When having the tire repaired or
replaced, make sure to tell the
SUBARU dealer that the sealant is
injected.
■ If the tire is inflated to more
than the specified air pressure
1 Disconnect the hose from the
valve.
2 Install the air release cap to the
end of the hose and push the
protrusion on the air release cap
into the valve to let some air out.
3 Disconnect the hose from the
valve, remove the air release cap
from the hose and then recon-
nect the hose.
4 Turn the compressor switch on
and wait for several seconds,
then turn it off. Check that the air
pressure indicator shows the
specified air pressure is reached.
(P.559)
If the air pressure is under the
designated pressure, turn the
compressor switch on again and
repeat the inflation procedure
until the specified air pressure is
reached.
■ After a tire is repaired with the
emergency tire puncture repair
kit
● The tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter should be
replaced.
● Even if the tire inflation pressure is
at the recommended level, the tire
pressure warning light may come
on/flash.
WARNING
■ 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 immedi-
ately 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 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.
