NOTICE
■ When performing an emer-
gency repair
● A tire should only be repaired
with the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit if the damage is
caused by a sharp object such
as nail or screw passing through
the tire tread.
Do not remove the sharp object
from the tire. Removing the
object may widen the opening
and disenable emergency repair
with the repair kit.
● The repair kit is not waterproof.
Make sure that the repair kit is
not exposed to water, such as
when it is being used in the rain.
● Do not put the repair kit directly
onto dusty ground such as sand
at the side of the road. If the
repair kit vacuums up dust etc.,
a malfunction may occur.
● Make sure to stand the kit with
the bottle vertical. The kit can-
not work properly if it is laid on
its side.
■ Precautions for the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit
● The repair kit power source
should be 12 V DC suitable for
vehicle use. Do not connect the
repair kit to any other source.
● If fuel splatters on the repair kit,
the repair kit may deteriorate.
Take care not to allow fuel to
contact it.
● Place the repair kit in a storage
to prevent it from being exposed
to dirt or water.
● Store the repair kit in the tool
tray under the deck mat out of
reach of children.
● Do not disassemble or modify
the repair kit. Do not subject
parts such as the air pressure
indicator to impacts. This may
cause a malfunction.
