Punctured Tire - Chevrolet 2011 HHR Owner's Manual

Using the Tire Sealant and Compressor
Kit to Temporarily Seal and Inflate a

Punctured Tire

Follow the directions closely for correct sealant usage.
When using the tire sealant and compressor kit
during cold temperatures, warm the kit in a heated
environment for five minutes. This will help to inflate the
tire faster.
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 4 3.
See If a Tire Goes Flat on page 6 71 for other
important safety warnings.
Do not remove any objects that have penetrated
the tire.
Always do a safety check first. See If a Tire Goes Flat
on page 6 71. Do not remove any objects that have
penetrated the tire.
1. Remove the tire sealant and compressor kit from
its storage location. See Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit Storage on page 6 80.
2. Unwrap the sealant/air hose (F) and the power
plug (G).
3. Place the kit on the ground.
Make sure the tire valve stem is positioned close to
the ground so the hose will reach it.
4. Remove the valve stem cap from the flat tire by
turning it counterclockwise.
5. Attach the sealant/air hose (F) onto the tire valve
stem. Turn it clockwise until it is tight.
