14. Replace the sealant/air hose (F),

and the power plug (C) back in
their original location.

15. If the flat tire was able to inflate

to the recommended inflation
pressure, remove the maximum
speed label from the sealant
canister (B) and place it
in a highly visible location.

The label is a reminder not to
exceed 55 mph (90 km/h)
until the damaged tire is
repaired or replaced.

16. Return the equipment to its

original storage location in
the vehicle.

17. Immediately drive the vehicle

5 miles (8 km) to distribute the

18. Stop at a safe location and

check the tire pressure.
Refer to Steps 1 through 11

and Compressor Kit without
Sealant to Inflate a Tire
(Not Punctured).”

If the tire pressure has fallen
more than 10 psi (68 kPa) 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 Assistance Program
on page 7-5.

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

wheel, tire or vehicle.

20. Dispose of the used sealant

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

available from your
dealer/retailer.

22. After temporarily sealing a tire

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