Vehicle Care

13. Turn the sealant/air hose (F)

counterclockwise to remove it
from the tire valve stem.

14. Replace the tire valve

stem cap.

15. Replace the sealant/air

hose (F), and the power
plug (H) back in their original
location.

16. If the flat tire was able to

inflate to the recommended
inflation pressure, remove the
maximum speed label from the
sealant canister (E) and place
it in a highly visible location.
Do not exceed the speed on
this label until the damaged tire
is repaired or replaced.

17. Return the equipment to its

original storage location in the
vehicle.

18. Immediately drive the vehicle

8 km (5 mi) to distribute the
sealant in the tire.

19. Stop at a safe location and

check the tire pressure. Refer
to Steps 1-11 under “Using the
Tire Sealant and Compressor
Kit without Sealant to Inflate a
Tire (Not Punctured).”

If the tire pressure has fallen
more than 68 kPa (10 psi)
below the recommended
inflation pressure, stop driving
the vehicle. The tire is too
severely damaged and the tire
sealant cannot seal the tire.
See Roadside Service
(U.S. and Canada) on
page 13‑7
or Roadside Service
(Mexico) on page 13‑10
.

If the tire pressure has not
dropped more than 68 kPa
(10 psi) from the recommended
inflation pressure, inflate the
tire to the recommended
inflation pressure.

20. Wipe off any sealant from the

wheel, tire, and vehicle.

21. Dispose of the used sealant

canister (E) and sealant/air
hose (F) assembly at a local
dealer or in accordance with
local state codes and practices.

22. Replace with a new canister

assembly available from your
dealer.

23. After temporarily sealing the

tire using the tire sealant and
compressor kit, take the
vehicle to an authorized dealer
within 161 km (100 mi) of
driving to have the tire repaired
or replaced.
