WARNING
 If there is any air left in the tire when you

8. Shake the tire sealant bottle well.
NOTE
 In cold conditions (when the ambient tem-
perature is 32 °F {0 °C} or lower), thicken-
ing of the tire sealant can make the tire
sealant hard to squeeze out of the bottle.
Warm the bottle between your hands inside
the vehicle.

For emergencies
9. Take the cap (H) off the tire sealant bottle
(I). Do not remove the seal (J). Screw the
filler hose (K) onto the bottle (I). As you
screw the filler hose onto the bottle, the
seal will break, allowing the sealant to be
used.
CAUTION
 If you shake the bottle after screwing on the
hose, sealant may spray out of the hose.
10. Press the hose onto the valve. Holding the
sealant bottle upside-down, squeeze it
again and again to inject all of the sealant
into the tire.
11. After injecting the sealant, pull the hose
off the valve, remove any residual sealant
from the valve, rim and/or tire.
Fit the valve insert (G) into the valve (E),
and screw the valve insert securely into
place using the valve remover (F).
