8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
● The kit is exclusively designed for size
and type of tires originally installed on
your vehicle. Do not use it for tires that
a different size than the original ones,
or for any other purposes.
● If the sealant gets on your clothes, it
may stain.
● If the sealant adheres to a wheel or
the surface of the vehicle body, the
stain may not be removable if it is not
cleaned at once. Immediately wipe
away the sealant with a wet cloth.
● During operation of the repair kit, a
loud operation noise is produced. This
does not indicate a malfunction.
● Do not use to check or to adjust the
tire pressure.
1 Open the deck board.
(P.449).
2 Take out the emergency tire
puncture repair kit.
1 Take out the repair kit from the
plastic bag.
Attach the sticker enclosed with the
bottle on the specified locations. (See
step
10.)
■ Do not drive the vehicle with 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 cir-
cumferential groove on the side wall.
In such a case, the tire may explode
when using a repair kit.
■ Caution while driving
● Store the repair kit in the luggage
compartment.
Injuries may result in the event of
an accident or sudden braking.
● The repair kit is exclusively only for
your vehicle.
Do not use repair kit on other vehi-
cles, which could lead to an acci-
dent causing death or serious
injury.
● Do not use repair kit for tires that
are different size than the original
ones, or for any other purpose. If
the tires have not been completely
repaired, it could lead to an acci-
dent causing death or serious
injury.
■ Precautions for use of the seal-
ant
● Ingesting the sealant is hazardous
to your health. If you ingest sealant,
consume as much water as possi-
ble, and then immediately consult a
doctor.
● If sealant gets in eyes or adheres to
skin, immediately wash it off with
water. If discomfort persists, consult
a doctor.
