18. Immediately drive the vehicle 5 miles (8 km)

to distribute the sealant evenly in the tire.
Stop at a safe location and check the
tire pressure, refer to Steps 1 through 8 under
“Using the Air Compressor without Sealant”
next in this section. If the tire pressure
has fallen more then 10 psi (68 kPa), below
the recommended inflation pressure, stop
driving the vehicle. The tire is too damaged for
the sealant to work. See Roadside Assistance
Program
on page 368.

If the tire pressure has not dropped more than
10 psi (68 kPa) from the recommended
inflation pressure, you can inflate the tire back
up to the recommended inflation pressure.

19. Dispose of the sealant canister at a local

dealer or in accordance with your local
state codes and practices.

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

20. After temporarily repairing a tire with the

emergency flat tire repair kit, take your
vehicle to a dealer to have the tire inspected
and repaired.
