Tire Sealant - Chevrolet Malibu 2012 Owner's Manual

If this vehicle has a tire sealant and
compressor kit, there may not be a
spare tire, tire changing equipment,
and on some vehicles there may not
be a place to store a tire.

can be used to temporarily seal
punctures up to 6 mm (¼ in) in the
tread area of the tire. It can also be
used to inflate an under inflated tire.
If the tire has been separated from
the wheel, has damaged sidewalls,
or has a large puncture, the tire is
too severely damaged for the tire
sealant and compressor kit to be
effective. See

Read and follow all of the tire
sealant and compressor kit
instructions.

A. On/Off Button
B. Selector Switch (Sealant/Air or
