CAUTION

Do not shake the bottle excessively. 

Otherwise, the sealant could spray out 

of the injection hose, and if the sealant 

contacts clothing or other objects, you 

may not be able to remove it.

NOTE

The sealant hardens easily and injecting 

it will be difficult under cold weather 

conditions (0 °C (32 °F) or below). Warm 

the sealant inside the vehicle to facilitate 

injection.
