Vehicle Care
The tire is not sealed and will
continue to leak air until the
vehicle is driven and the
sealant is distributed in the tire.
Therefore, Steps 13 through
21 must be done immediately
after Step 12.
Be careful while handling the
tire sealant and compressor kit
as it could be warm after
usage.
13. Unplug the power plug (I) from
the accessory power outlet in
the vehicle.
14. Turn the sealant/air hose (B)
counterclockwise to remove it
from the tire valve stem.
15. Replace the tire valve
stem cap.
16. Remove the tire sealant
canister (D) from the slot on
top of the compressor (F).
17. Turn the air only hose (J)
counterclockwise to remove it
from the tire sealant canister
inlet valve (A).
18. Turn the sealant/air hose (B)
clockwise onto the sealant
canister inlet valve (A) to
prevent sealant leakage.
19. Return the air only hose (J)
and power plug (I) back to their
original storage location.
20. If the flat tire was able to inflate
to the recommended inflation
pressure, remove the
maximum speed label from the
sealant canister and place it in
a highly visible location.
Do not exceed the speed on
this label until the damaged tire
is repaired or replaced.
21. Return the equipment to its
original storage location in the
vehicle.
22. Immediately drive the vehicle
8 km (5 mi) to distribute the
sealant in the tire.
23. Stop at a safe location and
check the tire pressure. Refer
to Steps 1 through 10 under
Using the Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit without Sealant
to Inflate a Tire (Not
Punctured).
If the tire pressure has fallen
more than 68 kPa (10 psi)
below the recommended
inflation pressure, stop driving
the vehicle. The tire is too
severely damaged and the tire
sealant cannot seal the tire.

Program on page 13 5.
