Precaution for Emergency Flat Tire Repair Kit

WARNING
!
Flat tire repair sealant including in kit is
harmful. Be sure to observe the following.
Otherwise, your health may be ruined.
• If swallowed, get medical attention
immediately.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Select place where there is good
ventilation for this work.
• If it enters eye or contacts skin, wash
thoroughly with water. If anything
abnormal still remains, get medical
attention immediately.
• Do not discard tire containing sealant as it
is. Make sure to remove sealant from tire,
referring to "Tire Repair for Emergency
Repaired-Tire with Sealant".
• Dispose of sealant as waste oil.

Tires Description

The tire is of tubeless type. The tire is designed to
operate satisfactorily with loads up to the full rated load
capacity when inflated to the recommended inflation
pressures.
Correct tire pressures and driving habits have an
important influence on tire life. Heavy cornering,
excessively rapid acceleration, and unnecessary sharp
braking increase tire wear.
Tire Placard
The "Tire Placard" is located on the left or right door lock
pillar and should be referred to tire information.
The placard lists the maximum load, tire size and cold
tire pressure where applicable.
NOTE
Whether rim size and/or maximum load are
listed or not depends on regulations of each
country.

General Description

Inflation of Tires
S7RS0B2401001
The pressure recommended for any model is carefully
calculated to give a satisfactory ride, stability, steering,
tread wear, tire life and resistance to bruises.
Tire pressure, with tires cold, (after vehicle has set for 3
hours or more, or driven less than one mile) should be
checked monthly or before any extended trip. Set to the
specifications on the "Tire Placard" located on the left
door lock pillar.
It is normal for tire pressure to increase when the tires
become hot during driving.
Do not bleed or reduce tire pressure after driving.
Bleeding reduces the "Cold Inflation Pressure".
Higher than recommended pressure can cause:
• Hard ride
• Tire bruising or carcass damage
• Rapid tread wear at center of tire
Unequal pressure on same axle can cause:
• Uneven braking
• Steering lead
• Reduced handling
• Swerve on acceleration
