12. Unplug the power plug (H) from

the accessory power outlet in
the vehicle.

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.

The label is a reminder not to
exceed 55 mph (90 km/h) 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

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

19. 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 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 Service on
page 12‑6
.

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.

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.

available from your dealer.

23. After temporarily sealing a tire

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