WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
NOTE:
• The metal end fitting from Power Plug (8) may get hot after use, so it should be
handled carefully.
• Failure to reinstall the cap on the fitting at the end of the Sealant Hose (6) can
result in sealant contacting your skin, clothing, and the vehicle's interior. It can
also result in sealant contacting internal Tire Service Kit components which may
cause permanent damage to the kit.
• 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 the Tire Service Kit or drive the vehicle under the following
circumstances:
• If the puncture in the tire tread is approximately 1/4". (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 the 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 provided. 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 the Tire Service Kit to come in contact with
hair, eyes, or clothing. The Tire Service Kit is harmful if inhaled, swallowed, or
absorbed through the skin. It causes skin, eye, and respiratory irritation. Flush
immediately 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.
• The Tire Service Kit Sealant solution contains latex. In case of an allergic
reaction or rash, consult a physician immediately. Keep the Tire Service Kit out
of reach of children. If swallowed, rinse mouth immediately with plenty of
water and drink plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting! Consult a physician
immediately.
• The Tire Service Kit is not a permanent flat tire repair. Have the tire inspected
and repaired or replaced after using the Tire Service Kit. Do not exceed 55 mph
(88 km/h) until the tire is repaired or replaced. Failure to follow this warning
can result in injuries that are serious or fatal to you, your passengers, and
others around you.
