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 0 134.
See If a Tire Goes Flat 0 360 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 0 367.
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.
VEHICLE CARE
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.
