Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before driving the vehicle.

Avoid skin contact with the sealant, as it contains natural rubber latex.

Make sure that the Electric Parking Brake (EPB) is applied.

Vehicles with automatic transmissions: Make sure that Park (P) is engaged.

While using the compressor, make sure that the hazard warning lights are switched on and that the smart key is removed from the vehicle.

Do not attempt to remove foreign objects, such as nails, screws, etc., from the tire.

While using the compressor, make sure the engine is running and there is sufficient ventilation. Never start the engine or leave it running when the vehicle is in an enclosed space. Exhaust gases are poisonous and can cause unconsciousness and death if inhaled.

All vehicle drivers and occupants should be made aware that a temporary repair has been made to a tire fitted to the vehicle. All vehicle drivers and occupants should also be made aware of the special driving conditions imposed when using a repaired tire.

To prevent overheating, do not operate the compressor continuously for longer than 10 minutes. Doing so could cause damage to the compressor.
