Vehicle Care

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 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 (U.S. and Canada) on
page 13‑8
or Roadside
Assistance Program (Mexico)
on page 13‑10
.

If the tire pressure has not
dropped more than 68 kPa
(10 psi) from the recommended
inflation pressure, use the
compressor kit to 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 and sealant/air
hose (F) assembly at a local
dealer or in accordance with
local state codes and practices.

22. Replace it with a new canister

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 161 km (100 mi)
of driving to have the tire
repaired or replaced.

Using the Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit without
Sealant to Inflate a Tire
(Not Punctured)

To use the air compressor to inflate
a tire with air only and not sealant:

If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire
and wheel damage by driving slowly
to a level place. Turn on the hazard
warning flashers. See Hazard
Warning Flashers on page 6‑4
.
