Emergency tire puncture repair kit
●
The sealant stored in the emergency tire puncture repair kit can be used
only once to temporarily repair a single tire. If the sealant has been used
and needs to be replaced, purchase a new bottle at any authorized
Scion dealer. The compressor is reusable.
●
The sealant can be used when the outside temperature is from -40

F
(-40

C) to 140

F (60

C).
●
The repair 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.
●
The sealant has a limited lifespan. The expiry date is shown on the bot-
tle. The sealant should be replaced before the expiry date. Purchase a
new bottle at your Scion dealer for replacement.
●
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.
