Tire Sealant And Compressor Kit - Pontiac Solstice 2008 Owner's Manual

Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit

Your vehicle has a tire sealant and compressor kit
that is capable of temporarily sealing a puncture up
to 1/4 inch (6 mm) in the tread area of the tire. There
is no jack or spare tire. The kit inflates the tire with liquid
sealant and air. The tire sealant and compressor kit can
also be used to inflate an underinflated tire. After the
tire is inflated to the recommended inflation pressure,
see Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 5-58 for more
information, the vehicle must be driven for five miles to
distribute the sealant in the tire and seal the puncture.
After driving five miles, the tire pressure must be
rechecked and adjusted as needed. See Using the Tire
Sealant and Compressor later in this section. Be sure to
read and follow all of the tire sealant and compressor kit
instructions. The kit includes:
5-76
A. Air Compressor
B. Tire Sealant Canister
C. Air Compressor
Accessory Plug
D. On/Off Switch
After temporarily sealing the tire with the sealant and
compressor kit, it is recommended to take your vehicle
to a dealer/retailer as soon as possible to have the tire
inspected and repaired. If the sealant is not removed from
the tire within 100 miles (161 kilometers) of driving, the
dealer/retailer may recommend that the tire be replaced.
