Flat Tires
CAUTION
The sealant may stain clothing.
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.
CAUTION
The sealant bottle and speed limit label need to be replaced after using the flat tire repair kit.
