Vehicle Care

10-27

Notice: If the recommended
pressure cannot be reached after
approximately 25 minutes, the
vehicle should not be driven
farther. The tire is too severely
damaged and the tire sealant and
compressor kit cannot inflate the
tire. Remove the power plug from
the accessory power outlet and
unscrew the inflating hose from
the tire valve. See “Roadside
Assistance Program” in the
owner manual.

10. Press the on/off button (D) to

turn the tire sealant and
compressor kit off.

The tire is not sealed and will
continue to leak air until the
vehicle is driven and the
sealant is distributed in the tire,
therefore, Steps 11 through
17 must be done immediately
after Step 10.

Be careful while handling the
tire sealant and compressor kit
as it could be warm after
usage.

11. Unplug the power plug (C) from

the accessory power outlet in
the vehicle.

12. Turn the sealant/air hose (G)

counterclockwise to remove it
from the tire valve stem.

13. Replace the tire valve

stem cap.

14. Replace the sealant/air

hose (G), 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.

Do not exceed the speed on
this label 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

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

18. Stop at a safe location and

check the tire pressure. Refer
to Steps 1 through 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 Assistance
Program” in the owner manual.
