WARNING
Caution while driving
■
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause an accident.
The emergency tire puncture repair kit is made exclusively for your vehicle. Do not
●
use it on other vehicles.
Do not use the emergency tire puncture repair kit for tires that are a different size
●
than the specified ones or for any other purpose. Doing so may cause the tires to not
be repaired properly.
Precautions for use of the sealant
■
Ingesting the sealant is hazardous to your health. If you ingest sealant, consume as
●
much water as possible, and then immediately consult a doctor.
If sealant gets in eyes or adheres to skin, immediately wash it off with water. If discom-
●
fort persists, consult a doctor.
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.
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 procedures not followed, the
●
sealant may spray out.
Keep back from the tire while it is being repaired, as there is a chance of it bursting
●
while the repair operation is being performed. If you notice any cracks or deforma-
tion of the tire, turn off the compressor switch and stop the repair operation immedi-
ately.
The repair kit may overheat if operated for a long period of time. Do not operate the
●
repair kit continuously for more than 35 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 indi-
●
cated. 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.
