16. Remove the air compressor hose from
the injection valve of the bottle. After
that, install the injection hose to the
injection valve of the bottle to prevent
leakage of any remaining sealant.

Remove the hose carefully because you
may not be able to remove the sealant

CAUTION
Carefully drive the vehicle at a speed of
80 km/h (50 mph) or less. If the vehicle
is driven at a speed of 80 km/h (50
mph) or more, the vehicle may vibrate.
NOTE
(With Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
If the tire is not properly inated, the tire
pressure monitoring system warning light
will illuminate (page 4-18).
20. After driving the vehicle for about 10
minutes or 5 km (3 miles), connect the
air compressor to the tire using Step
9 of the procedure, and check the tire
ination pressure using the tire pressure
gauge on the air compressor. If the
tire ination pressure is lower than the
specied tire ination pressure, turn
the air compressor on and wait until
it reaches the specied tire ination
pressure.
WARNING
If the tire ination pressure has
decreased below 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm
2
or
bar, 18.9 psi), stop driving and contact
an Authorized Mazda Dealer:
The repair using the emergency at tire
repair kit was not successful.
If you see a decrease in the tire ination
pressure, even if Steps 9 to 20 of the
procedure are performed repeatedly,
stop driving:
Contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
CAUTION
Before checking the tire ination
pressure using the tire pressure gauge,

21. The emergency at tire repair is
completed successfully if the tire
ination pressure does not decrease.
Carefully drive the vehicle to the
nearest Authorized Mazda Dealer
immediately and have the at tire
replaced. Replacement with a new
tire is recommended. If the tire is
to be repaired or reused, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
