speed label from the
sealant canister
and place in a highly
visible location such as
the inside of the

CAUTION:

Storing the tire inflator kit or other equipment in
the passenger compartment of the vehicle could
cause injury. In a sudden stop or collision,
loose equipment could strike someone. Store
the tire inflator kit in the proper place.

15. Place the equipment in the original location in the

trunk of your vehicle.

16. Drive the vehicle immediately to distribute the

sealant evenly in the tire.

After 10 minutes, stop at a safe location and check
the tire pressure. If the tire pressure has fallen
below 19 psi (130 kPa), stop driving the vehicle.
The tire is too damaged for the sealant to work.
See Roadside Assistance Program on page 7-6 for
more information.

If the tire pressure is equal to or greater than
19 psi (130 kPa), you can inflate the tire to the
correct pressure.

17. Dispose of the sealant canister at a local GM dealer

or in accordance with your local state codes and
practices.

After using the sealant canister, replace with a new
canister from a GM dealer.
