The tire pressure is checked after driving for a maximum
of five miles (8.0 km) to see if the slow leak has been
stopped. If the tire pressure is 19 psi (131 kPa) or more,
inflate the tire up to the standard operating pressure as
shown on the tire and loading information label. This label
is attached to the vehicle’s center-pillar below the driver’s
door latch. See Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 5-67.

Notice: If the tire pressure has dropped below
19 psi (131 kPa), the vehicle should not be driven.
Damage to the tire may be severe and the sealant
will not be effective. Contact Roadside Assistance,
see Roadside Assistance Program
on page 7-6.

You should have the damaged tire repaired as soon as
possible. The tire sealant is a temporary repair only.
If the tire has been filled with tire sealant, take the tire to
a GM dealer for inspection and repair. See Tire
Inflator Kit (GXP)
on page 5-79 for additional
information.

Tire Inflator Kit (GXP)

Your vehicle may have a tire inflator kit. The kit uses a
liquid tire sealant and air at the same time to seal small
punctures in the tread area of the tire. Be sure to read
and follow all the tire inflator kit instructions. The kit
includes the following:

A. Air Compressor
B. Tire Sealant Canister
C. Air Compressor

Accessory Plug

D. On/Off Switch

E. Air Pressure Gage
F. Air Compressor

Inflator Hose

G. Sealant Filling Hose

If the flat tire is due to a slow leak caused by a nail or
other similar road hazard, the tire inflator kit may
be used to temporarily repair the damaged tire.

After temporarily repairing a tire with the tire inflator kit,
take your vehicle to an authorized GM dealer to
have the tire inspected and repaired.
