If a Tire Goes Flat

Temporarily Repairing a Flat Tire
If the tire has a large cut or is otherwise severely damaged, you will need to have the vehicle towed. If the tire only has a small puncture, from a nail for instance, you can use the temporary tire repair kit so that you can drive to the nearest service station for a more permanent repair.
If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually to reduce speed. Then, stop in a safe place.

1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level, and non-slippery surface and apply the parking brake.
2. Put the transmission into (P.
3. Turn on the hazard warning lights and set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF.

The kit should not be used in the following situations. Instead, contact a dealer or roadside assistance to have the vehicle towed.

• The tire sealant has expired.
  More than one tire is punctured.
  The puncture or cut is larger than 3/16 inch (4.8 mm).
  The tire side wall is damaged or the puncture is outside the contact area.

Changing a Flat Tire

• Damage has been caused by driving with the tire extremely under inflated.
  The tire bead is no longer seated.
  The rim is damaged.

Do not remove a nail or screw that punctured the tire. If you remove it from the tire, you may not be able to repair the puncture using the kit.

Getting Ready to Temporarily Repair the Flat Tire

NOTICE
Do not use a puncture-repairing agent other than the one provided in the kit that came with your vehicle. If a different agent is used, you may permanently damage the tire pressure sensor.

Repair notification label and speed restriction label are applied to the side of the temporary tire repair kit.
When making a temporary repair, carefully read the instruction manual provided with the kit.

1. Pull the strap on the cargo area floor lid and open the lid.
   Take the kit out of the case.
2. Place the kit face up, on flat ground near the flat tire, and away from traffic. Do not place the kit on its side.

Injecting Sealant and Air

1. Remove the valve cap from the tire valve stem.
   
2. Remove the sealant/air hose from the packaging.
   
3.  Attach the sealant/air hose onto the tire valve stem. Screw it until it is tight.

CAUTION
Tire sealant contains substances that are harmful if inhaled, ingested or if contact is made with the eyes or skin.
Always use in a well-ventilated area and use gloves and safety glasses for protection; do not ingest.
For skin or eye contact, flush with cool water; if ingested, rinse mouth with water. In all cases, seek medical attention if necessary.

In cold temperatures, the sealant may not flow easily. In this situation, warm it up for five minutes before using.
The sealant can permanently stain clothing and other materials. Be careful during handling and wipe away any spills immediately.

Plug in the compressor to the accessory power socket.
Be careful not to pinch the cord in a door or window.
