NOTICE
When performing an emergency repair
■
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 passing
through the tire tread.
Do not remove the sharp object from the tire. Removing the object may
widen the opening and disenable emergency repair with the repair kit.
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.
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 malfunction may
occur.
Precautions for the emergency tire puncture repair kit
■
The repair kit power source should be 12 V DC suitable for vehicle use. Do
●
not connect the repair kit to any other source.
If fuel splatters on the repair kit, the repair kit may deteriorate. Take care
●
not to allow fuel to contact it.
Place the repair kit in a storage to prevent it from being exposed to dirt or
●
water.
Store the repair kit in the luggage compartment out of reach of children.
●
Do not disassemble or modify the repair kit. Do not subject parts such as
●
the air pressure indicator to impacts. This may cause a malfunction.
