Emergency repair

1) Place the vehicle on level, hard ground.

Set the parking brake firmly and shift

into “P” (Park) if your vehicle has an

automatic transaxle or CVT, or shift into

“R” (Reverse) if your vehicle has a

manual transaxle.

Turn on the hazard warning flasher if

your vehicle is near traffic.

Block the front and rear of the wheel

diagonally opposite of the wheel being

repaired.

2) Take out the sealant bottle and the

compressor.

3) Screw the bottle into the socket of the

compressor.

4) Unscrew the valve cap from the tire

valve.

5) Connect the filler hose of the sealant

bottle to the tire valve.

6) Connect the power plug of the com-

pressor to the accessory socket. Start

the engine. Switch on the compressor.

Inflate the tire to the required air pres-

sure.

(2) Filler hose

(3) Compressor

(4) Power plug

If the tire cannot be inflated to the required

air pressure within 5 minutes, move the

vehicle a few meters back and forth to

spread the sealant over the entire tire.

Then, inflate the tire again.

If the tire still cannot be inflated to the

required air pressure, the tire may be

severely damaged. In this case, the flat tire

repair kit cannot provide the necessary

seal. Consult a SUZUKI dealer or a road-

side assistance service.

NOTE:

If the tire is over-inflated, deflate air by

loosening the filler hose.

7) Switch off the compressor. Pull out the

power plug from the accessory socket.

8) Disconnect the filler hose of the sealant

bottle from the tire valve.

10)Affix the speed restriction label from the

sealant bottle in the driver’s field of

view.

11)Make a short drive immediately after

inflating the tire to the required air pres-

sure. Drive carefully with a maximum

speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).

12)Carry on driving carefully to the nearest

SUZUKI dealer or a tire repair shop.

13)After driving for up to 10 minutes, check

the tire pressure with the pressure

gauge of the compressor. If the air

pressure indicates more than 200 kPa

(2.0 bar), the emergency repair is com-

pleted. But, if the air pressure indicates

less than the required air pressure, cor-

rect the tire pressure to the required air

pressure. If the tire pressure has

dropped below 130 kPa (1.3 bar), the

flat tire repair kit cannot provide the

necessary seal. Do not use the tire and

consult a SUZUKI dealer or a roadside

assistance service.

Using compressor to inflate a tire

1) Place the vehicle on level, hard ground.

Set the parking brake firmly and shift

into “P” (Park) if your vehicle has an

automatic transaxle or CVT, or shift into

“R” (Reverse) if your vehicle has a

manual transaxle.

2) Take out the compressor.

3) Unscrew the valve cap from the tire

valve.

4) Connect the air hose of the compressor

to the tire valve.

5) Connect the power plug of the com-

pressor to the accessory socket. Start

the engine. Switch on the compressor.

Inflate the tire to the required air pres-

sure.

label to the air bag. Also do not affix

it to the warning light indicator or to

utes.

NOTICE

Have the tire renewed at the nearest

SUZUKI dealer. When reusing the

sealed tire, consult a tire repair shop.

The wheel can be reused after wiping

sealant off completely with cloth in

order to prevent rust, but the tire

valve and tire pressure monitoring

system (TPMS) sensor must be

renewed.

SUZUKI dealer or in accordance with

your regional codes and practices.

After using the sealant bottle, replace

it with a new bottle from your SUZUKI

dealer.
