Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of acciden ts.
Failing to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and ca use death or
serious injury.
O Drive the vehicle carefully at a low speed. Be especially careful when turn-
ing and cornering.
O 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.

NOTICE
QWhen performing an emergency repair
O A tire should only be repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit if
the damage is caused by a sharp object such as nail or screw pa ssing
through the tire tread.
Do not remove the sharp object from the tire. Removing the obje ct may
widen the opening and disenable em ergency repair with the repair kit.
O 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.
O 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 mal function may
occur.
O Make sure the sealant bottle of the repair kit is in a vertical position. The
repair kit does not operate properly when it is laid.
Q Precautions for the emergency tire puncture repair kit
O The repair kit power source should be 12 V DC suitable for vehicle use. Do
not connect the repair kit to any other source.
O If fuel splatters on the repair kit, the repair kit may deteriorate. Take care
not to allow fuel to contact it.
O Place the repair kit in a storage to prevent it from being exposed to dirt or
water.
O Store the repair kit in the luggage compartment out of reach of children.
O Do not disassemble or modify the repair kit. Do not subject parts such as
the air pressure indicator to impacts. This may cause a malfunc tion.
