7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
any reliable repairer that the sealant is
injected.
Q If the tire is inflated to more than the
specified air pressure
1 Disconnect the hose from the valve.
2 Install the air release cap to the end of
the hose and push the protrusion on the
air release cap into the valve to let some
air out.
3 Disconnect the hose from the valve,
remove the air release cap from the
hose and then reconnect the hose.
4 Turn the compressor switch on and wait
for several seconds, then turn it off.
Check that the air pressure indicator
shows the specified air pressure is
reached. (P.460)
If the air pressure is under the desig-
nated pressure, turn the compressor
switch on again and repeat the inflation
procedure until the specified air pres-
sure is reached.
Q After a tire is repaired with the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit
O The tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter should be replaced.
O Even if the tire inflation pressure is at the
recommended level, the tire pressure
warning light may come on/flash.
Q When fixing the flat tire
O Stop your vehicle in a safe and flat
area.
O 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.
O 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 or seal-
ant may be sprayed out.
O 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.
O After inflation of the tire has com-
pleted, the sealant may splatter when
the hose is disconnected or some air is
let out of the tire.
O Follow the operation procedure to
repair the tire. If the procedure is not
followed, the sealant may spray out.
O Keep back from the tire while it is
being repaired, as there is a chance of
it bursting while the repair operation is
being performed. If you notice any
cracks or deformation of the tire, turn
off the compressor switch and stop the
repair operation immediately.
O The repair kit may overheat if oper-
ated for a long period of time. Do not
operate the compressor continuously
for more than 40 minutes.
O Parts of the repair kit become hot
during operation. Be careful handling
the repair kit during and after opera-
tion. Do not touch the metal part con-
necting the bottle and the compressor.
It will be extremely hot.
