STARTING AND OPERATING

Tire Service Usage
Precautions
The tire sealant cannot be reused. If the
sealant has been used, or is expired,
purchase new tire sealant at an
authorized dealer.
Note: The Tire Service Kit cannot be
used in the following cases. Consult an
authorized dealer if any of these
conditions exist:
The period of effective use for the
tire sealant has expired (the period of
effectiveness is indicated on the bottle
label)
The tear or puncture in the tire
exceeds about 0.16 inches (4 mm)
The damage has occurred to an
area of the tire other than the tread
The vehicle has been driven with
nearly no air remaining in the tire
The tire has come off the wheel rim
Damage to the wheel rim has
occurred
The tire has two or more punctures Sealing A Tire With Tire
Service Kit
Warning!Do not attempt to seal a tire on the side
of the vehicle closest to traffic. Pull far
enough off the road to avoid the danger of
being hit when using the Tire Service Kit.
Do not use Tire Service Kit or drive the
vehicle under the following circumstances:
If the puncture in the tire tread is
approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) or larger.
If the tire has any sidewall damage.
If the tire has any damage from driving
with extremely low tire pressure.
If the tire has any damage from driving
on a flat tire.
If the wheel has any damage.
If you are unsure of the condition of the
tire or the wheel.
Keep Tire Service Kit away from open
flames or heat sources.
A loose Tire Service Kit thrown forward
in a collision or hard stop could endanger
the occupants of the vehicle. Always stow
the Tire Service Kit in the place provided.
Failure to follow these warnings can result
in injuries that are serious or fatal to you,
your passengers, and others around you.
Take care not to allow the contents of
Tire Service Kit to come in contact with
hair, eyes, or clothing. Tire Service Kit
sealant is harmful if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through the skin. It causes skin,
eye, and respiratory irritation. Flush
immediately with plenty of water if there is
any contact with eyes or skin. Change
clothing as soon as possible, if there is any
contact with clothing.
Tire Service Kit Sealant solution contains
latex. In case of an allergic reaction or rash,
consult a physician immediately. Keep Tire
Service Kit out of reach of children. If
swallowed, rinse mouth immediately with
plenty of water and drink plenty of water.
Do not induce vomiting! Consult a
physician immediately.
U.S.A. And CANADA Markets:
Proceed as follows:
1. Pull over to a safe location and turn
on the vehicle’s Hazard Warning Lights.
2. Verify that the valve stem (on the
wheel with the deflated tire) is in a
position that is near to the ground. This
will allow the Tire Service Kit hoses to
reach the valve stem and keep the Tire
Service Kit flat on the ground. This will
provide the best positioning of the kit
when injecting the sealant into the
deflated tire and running the air pump.
Move the vehicle as necessary to place
the valve stem in this position before
proceeding.
3. Place the gear selector in REVERSE
for a manual transmission, and PARK
for automatic transmission.

for a manual transmission, or PARK for
automatic transmission. 4. Apply the parking brake with the
brake pedal pressed and turn the
engine OFF.
5. Unload passengers and cargo, then
remove the Tire Service Kit.
6. Gently shake the tire sealant. If the
bottle is shaken after the injection hose
is screwed on, tire sealant could spray
out from the injection hose. Tire sealant
contacting clothing or other objects
may be impossible to remove. Shake
the bottle before screwing on the
injection hose.
Note:
Do not shake the bottle
excessively. Otherwise, the sealant
could spray out of the injection hose,
and if the sealant contacts clothing or
other objects, you may not be able to
remove it.
The sealant hardens easily and
injecting it will be difficult under cold
weather conditions 32 °F (0 °C) or
below. Warm the sealant inside the
vehicle to facilitate injection.
7. Remove the cap from the bottle and
screw on the injection hose with the
bottle's inner cap left on to break the
inner cap.
