RC350_RC300 AWD_RC3 00_RC F_U(OM24748U)WARNING ■
When fixing the flat tire
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.●
Stop your vehicle in a safe and flat area. ●
Do not touch the wheels or the area around the brakes immediately after the vehicle
has been driven.
After the vehicle has been driven, the wheels and the area around the brakes may be
extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands, feet or other body parts may result in
burns. ●
Connect the valve and hose securely with the tire installed on the vehicle.
• If the hose is not properly connected to the valve, air leakage may occur or sealant
may be sprayed out.
• If the hose comes off the valve while inflating the tire, there is a risk that the hose
will move abruptly due to air pressure.
• After inflation of the tire has completed, the sealant may splatter when the hose is
disconnected or some air is let out of the tire. ●
Follow the operation procedure to repair the tire. If the procedure is not followed, the
sealant may spray out. ●
Keep back from the tire while it is being re paired, as there is a chance of it bursting
while the repair operation is being performed. If you notice any cracks or deforma-
tion of the tire, turn off the compressor sw itch and stop the repa ir operation immedi-
ately. ●
The kit may overheat if operated for a long period of time. Do not operate the com-
pressor continuously for more than 35 minutes. ●
Parts of the kit become hot during operation. Be careful handling the kit during and
after operation. Do not touch the metal part around the connecting area between the
bottle and compressor. It will be extremely hot. ●
Do not attach the vehicle speed warning sticker to an area other than the one indi-
cated. If the sticker is attached to an area where an SRS airbag is located, such as the
pad of the steering wheel, it may preven t the SRS airbag from operating properly.■
Driving to spread th e liquid sealant evenly●
Drive the vehicle carefully at a low speed. Be especially careful when turning and cor-
nering. ●
If the vehicle does not drive straight or you feel a pull through the steering wheel, stop
the vehicle and check the following:
• Tire condition. The tire may have separated from the wheel.
• Tire inflation pressure. If tire inflation pressure is 19 psi (130 kPa, 1.3 kgf/cm 2
or
bar) or below, this may in dicate severe tire damage.
