stances are harmful if swallowed.

The contents of this bottle may cause

allergic skin reactions or otherwise be

potentially harmful to the skin, the cen-

tral nervous system, and the eyes.

Precautions:

Keep out of reach of children.

Do not ingest the contents.

Avoid prolonged or repeated contact

with the skin.

Hands should be washed thoroughly

after handling.

soap and water. Get medical attention

if symptoms occur.

15 minutes, occasionally lifting the

Tire sealing system–temporarily

repairing a flat tire

Temporarily repairing a flat tire is done in two
stages:

Stage 1: The hole is sealed by pumping

sealing compound into the tire. The car is

then driven a short distance to distribute

the sealing compound in the tire.

NOTE

Do not remove any foreign objects (nails,

etc.) from the tire before using the sealing

system.

Stage 2: The tire’s inflation pressure is

checked and adjusted if necessary.

WARNING

Never leave the tire sealing system

unattended when it is operating.

Keep the tire sealing system away from

children.

Be sure the vehicle is parked safely off

the road and away from moving traffic.

Apply the parking brake.

Stage 1: Sealing the hole

1. Open the cover on the tire sealing kit.
2. Peel off the speed limit sticker and affix it

to the steering wheel hub where it will be
clearly visible to the driver.
