When trouble arises
WARNING
■ 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 following.
• 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 emergency repair
● A tire should only be repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair
kit if the damage is caused by a sharp object such as nail or screw
passing through the tire tread.
Do not remove the sharp object from the tire. Removing the object may
widen the opening and disenable emergency repair with the repair kit.
● 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.
■ Precautions for the emergency 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.
● If fuel splatters on the repair kit, the repair kit may deteriorate. Take
care not to allow fuel to contact it.
● Place the repair kit in a storage to prevent it from being exposed to dirt
or water.
● Store the repair kit in the luggage compartment out of reach of chil-
dren.
● Do not disassemble or modify the repair kit. Do not subject parts such
as the air pressure indicator to impacts. This may cause a malfunction.
