7 . Stow the kit back in the vehicle and drive your vehicle immediately for 10 minutes or 3 miles ( 5 km ).
WARNING
. Drive carefully . Do not exceed 50 mph ( 80 km / h ). Driving faster than that can result in the vehicle shaking .
. Do not use tire chains on a sealed tire .
. Do not tow a trailer .
. If heavy vibrations , unsteady steering behavior or noises occur while driving , reduce your speed and drive with caution to a location where it is safe for you to stop the vehicle . Recheck the tire and its pressure . If the tire pressure is in the red zone of the air gauge or if there are any cracks , bumps or similar tire damage visible , temporary repairs cannot be performed with the repair kit . We recommend that you consult with your SUBARU dealer or road service provider .
8 . After driving for 10 minutes or 3 miles ( 5 km ), whichever comes first , stop the vehicle in a safe place to recheck the air pressure ( see step 4 ). If necessary , fill the tire with air to the appropriate air pressure again and drive carefully to the nearest SUBARU dealer for tire , valve stem and sealant bottle replacement .
NOTE
Connect the air compressor only to the tire valve .
CAUTION
. If the air pressure is in red zone of the air gauge , the kit did not successfully seal the puncture . In this case , please stop driving and contact your SUBARU dealer for help .
. Do not drive your vehicle with the sealed tire for more than 125 miles ( 200 km ). Failure to replace the valve stem may result in air leakage at the valve stem .
Before the tire is removed from the rim , inform your SUBARU dealer or other tire dealer that the tire contains sealant .
