Using the Tire Sealant and Compressor
Kit to Temporarily Seal and Inflate a
Punctured Tire
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 0 106.
See If a Tire Goes Flat 0 277 for other
important safety warnings.
Do not remove any objects that have
penetrated the tire.
1. Remove the tire sealant canister (4) and
compressor from its storage location. See
Storing the Tire Sealant and Compressor
Kit 0 284.
2. Remove the air only hose (10) and the
power plug (9) from the bottom of the
compressor.
3. Place the compressor on the ground near
the flat tire.
4. Attach the air only hose (10) to the
sealant canister inlet valve (1) by turning
it clockwise until tight.
5. Slide the base of the tire sealant
canister (3) into the slot on the top of
the compressor (6) to hold it upright.
Make sure the tire valve stem is
positioned close to the ground so the
hose will reach it.
6. Remove the valve stem cap from the flat
tire by turning it counterclockwise.
7. Attach the sealant/air hose (2) to the tire
valve stem by turning it clockwise until
tight.
8. Plug the power plug (9) into the
accessory power outlet in the vehicle.
Unplug all items from other accessory
power outlets. See Power Outlets 0 76.
