How to Perform an Emergency
Repair
1) Place the vehicle on level, hard ground.
Set the parking brake firmly and shift
into “P” (Park) if your vehicle has a
CVT, or shift into “R” (Reverse) if your
vehicle has a manual transaxle.
Turn on the hazard warning flasher if
your vehicle is near traffic.
Block the front and rear of the wheel
diagonally opposite of the wheel being
repaired.
2) Take out the sealant bottle and the
compressor.
3) At the top of the compressor, open the
lid that covers the socket for the sealant
bottle, then fit the bottle into the socket.
4) Unscrew the valve cap from the tire
valve.
5) Connect the filler hose of the sealant
bottle to the tire valve.
6) Connect the power plug of the com-
pressor to the accessory socket. Start
the engine. Switch on the compressor.
Inflate the tire to the required air pres-
sure.

If the air pressure cannot be reached
130 kPa (1.3 bar) within 7 minutes, lift the
tire up using a jack and rotate the tire three
times or more to spread the sealant over
the entire tire. Then, inflate the tire again.
If the required air pressure still cannot be
reached, the tire may be severely dam-
aged. In this case, the Flat Tire Repair Kit
cannot provide the necessary seal. Con-
WARNING
Flat tire repair kit sealant is harmful if
swallowed, or it comes in contact
with skin or eyes. If swallowed, do
not induce vomiting. Give plenty of
water (if possible charcoal slurry)
and seek medical attention immedi-
ately. If sealant gets in eyes, flush
eyes with water and seek medical
attention. Wash thoroughly after han-
dling. Solution can be poisonous to
animals. Keep out of the reach of
children and animals.
NOTICE
Be sure to replace the sealant before
expiry date indicated on the label of
the sealant bottle. To purchase new
sealant, see your SUZUKI dealer.
NOTICE
Do not operate the compressor for
longer than 10 minutes. It can cause
overheating of the compressor.
