WARNING
. Do not use the flat tire repair kit in
the following cases.
– The tire has already been
damaged as a result of being
driven in the under inflated
condition.
– The tire damage is not located
within the visible tread of the
tire.
– The tire damage is on the
sidewall of the tire.
– When the tire has been taken
off of the wheel.
– The wheel of the flat tire is
damaged.
– Two or more tires have been
punctured.
– The expiration date of the
sealant has passed.
. When inflating the flat tire, if the
tire inflation pressure does not
reach 180 kPa (1.8 kgf/cm
psi) within 10 minutes, do not
continue to seal the tire. We
recommend that you contact
your SUBARU dealer.
. Drive with caution and avoid
making sudden steering or driv-
ing maneuvers.
. Do not exceed a maximum speed
of 80 km/h (50 mph).
. Do not exceed a maximum driv-
ing distance of 200 km (125
miles).
. Do not use tire chains on a sealed
tire.
. Do not tow a trailer.
. If used for a purpose other than
sealing a flat tire, the flat tire
repair kit may cause a severe
accident or injury due to the fact
that compressed air can act as
an explosive or propellant.
. Safely park your vehicle on the
roadside so that you do not
obstruct the flow of traffic and
so that you are able to seal the
flat tire without being in danger.
. Apply the parking brake, even if
the vehicle is parked on a level
road, to make sure that the
vehicle will not move.

CAUTION
. Remember that the flat tire repair
kit only provides temporary mo-
bility. Regulations concerning
tire repair after usage of flat tire
repair kit may differ from country
to country. We recommend that
you consult your SUBARU dealer
or tire dealer for advice.
. Store the flat tire repair kit safely
and secure it in the cargo area.
Storing it anywhere in the pas-
senger compartment is not advi-
sable because it could strike an
occupant in the event of a sud-
den stop or collision and cause
injury.
. Use the flat tire repair kit with
original vehicle tires only.
. Do not keep the compressor
operating for more than 10 min-
utes, otherwise there is a risk of it
