4. Unload passengers and luggage, and

remove the emergency flat tire repair
kit.

5. Shake the tire sealant well.

CAUTION

If the bottle is shaken after the
injection hose is screwed on, tire
sealant could spray out from the
injection hose. Tire sealant
contacting clothing or other objects
may be impossible to remove. Shake
the bottle before screwing on the
injection hose.

NOTE

The tire sealant can be used at outside
temperatures down to _30°C (_22°F).
In extremely cold temperatures (0°C (32°F) or
below), the tire sealant hardens easily and
injection of the sealant will be difficult. Warm
the sealant inside the vehicle before doing the
injection work.

6. Remove the cap from the bottle. Screw

on the injection hose with the bottle's
inner cap left on to break the inner cap.
