NOTE:
This procedure is only to be used with the temporary tire repair kit.
The tire inflator and temporary repair sealant are used on vehicles without a spare tire.
The temporary repair sealant used to repair the tire must be removed before the tire is permanently repaired.
The temporary repair sealant (once used or past the expiration date) is considered hazardous waste, and must be disposed
of in an environmentally safe manner (such as used engine oil and coolant). Check with your local regulations for proper
disposal.
The expiration date of the temporary repair sealant is printed on the container.

7. Insert the tube into the tire through the drain hole, and aim
it down until the end of the tube is immersed into the fluid
sealant (B).
NOTE: If using the bottle with the tube, set the bottle in a
lower position than the tire and squeeze the bottle to siphon
the tire sealant into the bottle.
10. If you are going to reuse the tire, completely remove the
fluid sealant and replace the tire valve.
cardiagn.com
NOTE:
Wipe the fluid sealant completely so that the beaded
edge of the tire and the mating portion of the wheel rim
and the bead are clean.
Tire damaged such as punctures may be filled with the
fluid sealant, and can be difficult to locate depending on
the extent of the damage.
When you drive with a flat tire with fluid sealant, check
the tire pressure often until the vehicle can be safely
taken to a repair facility.

1. Suspension/Camber Angle
Front suspension The suspension system holds the wheels and axles in position
and absorbs road vibrations. It also allows steering, directional
stability and recoverability, while minimizing tire wear. In order
to achieve all those requirements, the wheels have a steering
axis inclination angle, a camber angle, caster angle and toe-in
angle. Wheel alignment is the combination of these angles
relevant to the wheel.
