How to Use the Kit’s Compressor to

Inflate a Tire

WARNING

Be sure to check the tire pressure

and confirm the completion of the

emergency repair after 10 minutes or

5 km (3 mile) of running.

1) Place the vehicle on level, hard ground.

Set the parking brake firmly and shift

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

12)Carry on driving carefully to the nearest

SUZUKI Dealer or a tire repair shop.

NOTICE

Have the tire renewed at the nearest

SUZUKI Dealer. When repair to reuse

the sealed tire, consult a tire repair

shop.

The wheel can be reused after wiping

sealant off completely with cloth in

order not to rust, but the tire valve

must be renewed.

Dispose of the sealant bottle at a

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.

WARNING

Do not affix the speed restriction

label to the air bag. Also do not affix

it to the warning light indicator or to

the speedometer.

13)After 10 minutes or 5 km (3 mile) run-

ning, check the tire pressure with the

pressure gauge of the compressor. If

the air pressure is indicated more than

130 kPa (1.3 bar), the emergency

repair is completed. But, if the air pres-

sure is indicated less than the required

air pressure, correct 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

drive on and consult a SUZUKI Dealer

or a Roadside Assistance Service.

NOTICE

Do not operate the compressor for

longer than 10 minutes. It can cause

overheating of the compressor.
