If the flat tire is due to a slow leak caused by a nail
or other similar road hazard, the tire inflator kit may
be used to temporarily repair the damaged tire.
After temporarily repairing a tire using the tire
inflator kit, it is recommended to take your
vehicle to your dealer/retailer within 100 miles
(161 kilometers) of driving to have the tire inspected
and repaired. If the sealant is not removed from the
tire within a 100 miles (161 kilometers) of driving,
it is more likely that the tire and tire pressure
monitoring sensor may get damaged and have
to be replaced.
