& Emergency flat tire repair
Your vehicle is not equipped with a spare
tire. If you have a flat tire, you can use the
flat tire repair kit to temporarily repair
punctures, such as those made by nails
or similar objects. To ensure that repair
work goes smoothly, read the following
instructions before sealing a flat tire.
This flat tire repair kit is for temporary
repairs. After making a repair, immediately
have the tire repaired or replaced at a
SUBARU dealer or other qualified service
facility.
WARNING
. Read these instructions and
warnings carefully before sealing
a flat tire. Compliance with these
instructions is vital to ensuring
vehicle safety. Not complying
with these instructions means
risking tire damage, which can
affect vehicle handling and lead
to loss of vehicle control. This
may result in serious injury or
death.
. Do not use tire chains on a tire
that has been repaired with the
flat tire repair kit.
. Do not tow trailer.
. Before using the flat tire repair
kit, park your vehicle in a safe
location where it will not interfere
with traffic.
. When using the flat tire repair kit,
apply the parking brake to make
sure that the vehicle will not
move.
. When using the flat tire repair kit,
turn on the hazard warning
flashers.
. When using the flat tire repair kit,
do not leave the vehicle unat-
tended.
CAUTION
. If you accidentally swallow the
sealant, drink plenty of water and
seek medical attention immedi-
ately.
. If the sealant splashes into your
eyes or onto your skin, wash it
away immediately with plenty of
water. If you feel any discomfort,
seek medical attention.
. Keep the sealant out of the reach
of children.
. Contact with the sealant can
cause allergic reactions for peo-
ple who are allergic to natural
rubber (or latex).
. If used on a vehicle with a tire
pressure monitoring system
(TPMS), the system might not
function correctly.
! When is sealing possible?
Sealing is possible when minor punctures
with a diameter of no more than 3/16 in (4
mm) caused by nails or similar objects
piercing the visible tread of the tire.
CAUTION
Perform temporary repair without
removing the nail or similar objects
from the tire. Removing the nail or
similar objects could result in da-
mage that cannot be repaired with
the sealant in the flat tire repair kit.
