WARNING
. After using Emergency Tire Sealant
to repair a minor tire puncture, do
not drive the vehicle at speeds
faster than 50 MPH (80 km/h).
. Immediately after using Emergency
Tire Sealant to repair a minor tire
puncture, take your vehicle to a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer to
inspect, and repair or replace the
tire. The Emergency Tire Sealant
cannot permanently seal a punctu-
red tire. Continuing operation of the
vehicle without a permanent tire
repair can lead to a crash.
. Do not inject any tire liquid or
aerosol tire sealant into the tires,
as this may cause a malfunction of
the tire pressure sensors.
. If you used the Emergency Tire

TPMS sensor in addition to repair-
ing or replacing the tire .
. NISSAN recommends using only
NISSAN Genuine Emergency Tire
Sealant provided with your vehicle.
Other tire sealants may damage the
valve stem seal which can cause the
tire to lose air pressure.
