into “R” (Reverse) if your vehicle has a

manual transaxle/Auto Gear Shift, or

shift into “P” (Park) if your vehicle has a

CVT.

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 (2) and the

compressor, and shake the bottle well.

NOTE:

Shake the bottle well before screwing the

filler hose onto the bottle.

and pump the bottle to fill the entire bot-

7) Screw the air hose (10) of the compres-

sor (1) to the tire valve (8). Fit the

power plug (11) to the accessory

socket. For a manual transaxle or an

Auto Gear Shift vehicle, shift from “R”

(Reverse) into “N” (Neutral). Start the

engine. Switch on the compressor.

Inflate the tire to the required air pres-

sure.

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 screw of the air hose.

vehicle has a manual transaxle or Auto

Gear Shift.

Jump-starting instructions

1) Use only a 12-volt lead-acid battery to

jump-start your vehicle. Position the

good 12-volt lead-acid battery close to

your vehicle so that the jump leads will

reach both batteries. When using a bat-

tery installed on another vehicle, check

that two vehicles do not touch each

other. Set the parking brakes fully on

both vehicles.

2) Turn off all vehicle accessories, except

those necessary for safety reasons (for

example, headlights or hazard lights).

NOTICE

Do not operate the compressor for

longer than 10 minutes. It can cause

overheating of the compressor.

WARNING

• Never attempt to jump-start your

vehicle if the lead-acid battery

appears to be frozen. Batteries in

this condition may explode.

• When making jump lead connec-

tions, check that your hands and

the jump leads remain clear from

pulleys, belts or fans.

• Lead-acid batteries produce flam-

mable hydrogen gas. Keep flames

and sparks away from the battery

or an explosion may occur. Never

smoke when working near the bat-

tery.

• If the booster battery you use for

jump-starting is installed in another

vehicle, check that the two vehicles

are not touching each other.

• If your lead-acid battery discharges

repeatedly, for no apparent reason,

have your vehicle inspected by an

authorized SUZUKI dealer.

• To avoid harm to yourself or dam-

age to your vehicle or battery, fol-

low the jump-starting instructions

below.

If you are in doubt, call for qualified

road service.

NOTICE

Your vehicle should not be started by

pushing or towing. This starting

method could result in permanent

damage to the catalytic converter.

Use jump leads to start a vehicle with

a weak or flat battery.
