7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
WARNING
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 com-
●
pleted, the sealant may splatter when
the hose is disconnected or some air is
let out of the tire.
●
Perform temporary repairs according
to the work procedures. If the proce-
dures are not followed accordingly, the
tire sealant fluid may spurt out.
●
Be separated from the tire during
repairs when operating the temporary
repair kit, as there is the danger of rup-
turing. If crack or deformation occurs,
turn the kit switch off and stop the
repairs.
●
The kit may overheat if operated for a
long period of time. Do not operate
the compressor continuously for more
than 35 minutes.
Parts of the repair kit will get hot
●
during operation. Handle with care
during and after operation. As the kit
gets hot, especially the metallic portion
of the bottle and the compressor con-
nection, do not touch during use or
immediately after use.
Do not attach the vehicle speed warn-
●
ing 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 airbag
from operating properly.
Driving to spread the liquid sealant
■
evenly
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 sepa-
rated from the wheel.
• Tire inflation pressure. If tire inflation
pressure is 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm
19 psi) or below, this may indicate
severe tire damage.
NOTICE
When performing an emergency
■
repair
●
Perform the emergency repair with-
out 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 emergency tire
puncture repair kit may not be possi-
ble.
The kit is not waterproof. Make sure
●
that the kit is not exposed to water,
such as when it is being used in the
rain.
Do not put the kit directly onto dusty
●
ground such as sand at the side of the
road. If the kit vacuums up dust, etc., a
malfunction may occur.
●
Use the kit with the top facing upward.
The kit cannot work properly if it is laid
on its side.
■
Handling the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit
The compressor power source should
●
be 12 VDC suitable for vehicle use. Do
not connect the compressor to any
other source.
●
If gasoline splatters on the kit, the kit
may deteriorate. Take care not to allow
gasoline to contact it.
●
Store the kit in its assigned place out of
reach of children.
