NOTICE
■ When performing an emergency repair
●Perform the emergency repair
without removing the nail or screw that has punctured the tread of the tire. If the object
that has punctured the tire is removed, repair by the emergency tire puncture repair kit
may not be possible.
●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.
●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.
■ 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.
●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.
■ To avoid damage to the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters( vehicle with the tire pressure warning system)
When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact your SUB-
ARU dealer or other qualified service shop as soon as possible. After use of liquid sealant, make
sure to replace the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter when repairing or replacing the tire.( �P. 575)
