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 immediately 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 connected to
●
the valve, air leakage may occur or
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.
