5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
CAUTION


Do not drive the vehicle with a flat tire

Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
Driving even a short distance with a flat tire can damage the tire and the
wheel beyond repair.
Driving with a flat tire may cause a circumferential groove on the side wall. In
such a case, the tire may explode when using a repair kit.
 Caution while driving
 Store the repair kit in the luggage room.
Otherwise, the repair kit may fly out and break in events such as sudden
braking, and may cause an accident.
 The repair kit is exclusively only for your vehicle.
Do not use repair kit on other vehicles, which could lead to an accident
causing death or serious injury.
Do not use repair kit for tires that are different size than the original ones,

or for any other purpose. If the tires have not been completely repaired, it
could lead to an accident causing death or serious injury.


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 doc-
tor.
 If sealant gets in eyes or adheres to skin, immediately wash it off with
water. If discomfort 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
as sealant may be sprayed out.
