1. Do a safety check before proceeding. See If a Tire
Goes Flat on page 5-82.
2. Inspect the damaged tire.
The sealant cannot seal sidewall damage, large
punctures, or a tire that has unseated from
the wheel. See Roadside Service on page 7-7.
Do not remove any objects that have penetrated
the tire.
3. Place the sealant and compressor kit on the ground
and unwrap the sealant/air hose (F) hose from the
compressor.
The sealant/air hose (F) is the top, clear hose.
4. Remove the valve stem cap from the flat tire by
turning it counterclockwise.
5. Attach the sealant filling hose (F) onto the tire valve
stem. Turn it clockwise until it is tight.
6. Unwrap and plug the air compressor accessory
plug (E) into an accessory power outlet in the
vehicle. See Accessory Power Outlet(s) on
page 3-22 for more information.
Do not pinch the compressor accessory plug cord in
the door or window.
