nect the hose.

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
WARNING
■ 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.
■ 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 immedi-
ately 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 seal-
ant may be sprayed out.
● 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
completed, the sealant may
splatter when the hose is dis-
connected or some air is let out
of the tire.
● Follow the operation procedure
to repair the tire. If the proce-
dures not followed, the sealant
may spray out.
