1 ⁄ inch (6 mm), the tire is too severely damaged for
4
the tire sealant and compressor kit to be effective.
See Roadside Service on page 7-7.
If the tire has a puncture less than a
in the tread area of the tire, see Tire Sealant and

Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit

(With Sealant Selector Switch)

Your vehicle has a tire sealant and compressor kit that
is capable of temporarily sealing a puncture up to 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 5-66 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.

After temporarily sealing the tire sealant and compressor
kit, it is recommended to take your vehicle to an
authorized dealer/retailer as soon as possible. If the
sealant is removed within 100 miles (161 kilometers) of
driving, then it is easier to clean from the tire and you are
less likely to require a replacement tire.
