When trouble arises
WARNING
● 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 punctured 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.
● Do not put the repair kit directly
onto dusty ground such as sand
at the side of the road. If the
repair kit vacuums up dust, etc.,
a malfunction may occur.
● Make sure the sealant bottle of
the repair kit is in a vertical posi-
tion. The repair kit does not
operate properly when it is laid.
■ Precautions for the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit
● The repair kit power source
should be 12 V DC suitable for
vehicle use. Do not connect the
repair kit to any other source.
