Preparing to use the emergency tire puncture repair kit
Before using the emergency tire puncture repair kit, perform the following.
● Stop the vehicle in a safe place on a hard, flat surface.
● Set the parking brake.
● Change the shift position to P.
● Stop the hybrid system.
● Turn on the emergency flashers.
●
Check the degree of the tire damage.
A tire should only be repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit if the damage
is caused by a nail or screw passing through the tire tread.
•
Do not remove the nail or screw from the tire. Removing the object may widen the
opening and disenable emergency repair with the kit.
•
To avoid sealant leakage, move the vehicle until the area of the puncture, if known, is
positioned at the top of the tire.
