WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
Do not attempt to seal a tire on the side of the vehicle closest to traffic. Pull far
enough off the road to avoid the danger of being hit when using the Tire Service
Kit.
Do not use Tire Service Kit or drive the vehicle under the following circumstances:
If the puncture in the tire tread is approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) or larger.
If the tire has any sidewall damage.
If the tire has any damage from driving with extremely low tire pressure.
If the tire has any damage from driving on a flat tire.
If the wheel has any damage.
If you are unsure of the condition of the tire or the wheel.
Keep Tire Service Kit away from open flames or heat source.
A loose Tire Service Kit thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could endanger
the occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the Tire Service Kit in the place pro-
vided. Failure to follow these warnings can result in injuries that are serious or
fatal to you, your passengers, and others around you.
Take care not to allow the contents of Tire Service Kit to come in contact with
hair, eyes, or clothing. Tire Service Kit sealant is harmful if inhaled, swallowed, or
absorbed through the skin. It causes skin, eye, and respiratory irritation. Flush im-
mediately with plenty of water if there is any contact with eyes or skin. Change
clothing as soon as possible, if there is any contact with clothing.
Tire Service Kit Sealant solution contains latex. In case of an allergic reaction or
rash, consult a physician immediately. Keep Tire Service Kit out of reach of chil-
dren. If swallowed, rinse mouth immediately with plenty of water and drink plenty
of water. Do not induce vomiting! Consult a physician immediately.
Insert the power plug into the vehicle power outlet socket. Start the vehicle engine.
Push the Tire Service Kit power button to the "I" position. The electric compressor will
be turned on, sealant and air will inflate the tire.
Minimum 26 psi (1.8 bar) of pressure should be reached within 20 minutes. If the pres-
sure has not been reached, turn off and remove the Tire Service Kit, drive the vehicle
30 feet (10 meters) back and forth, to better distribute the sealant inside the tire.
Attach the Clear flexible filling and tube of the compressor directly to the tire valve and
repeat the inflation process.
When the correct pressure has been reached, start driving the vehicle to uniformly dis-
tribute the sealant inside the tire. After 10 minutes, stop and check the tire pressure. If
the pressure is below 19 psi (1.3 bar), do not drive the vehicle, as the tire is too dam-
aged, contact the nearest authorized dealer.
