16. If the flat tire was able to inflate

not exceed the speed on this
label 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

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

19. Stop at a safe location and

check the tire pressure. Refer

below the recommended
inflation pressure, stop driving
the vehicle. The tire is too
severely damaged and the tire
sealant cannot seal the tire.

If the tire pressure has not
dropped more than 68 kPa
