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 than 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 7-6
.

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 GM dealer

or in accordance with your local state codes and
practices.

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

20. After temporarily repairing a tire with the emergency

flat tire repair kit, take your vehicle to an authorized
GM dealer to have the tire inspected and repaired.
