8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
If you have a flat tire (vehicles with an emergency
tire puncture repair kit)
Your vehicle is not equipped with a spare tire, but instead is equipped with an
emergency tire puncture repair kit.
A puncture caused by a nail or screw passing through the tire tread can be
repaired temporarily with the emergency tire puncture repair kit.
■ If you have 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 the emergency tire puncture repair kit,
resulting in death or serious injury.
