CAUTION:
{
Storing the tire sealant and compressor kit or
other equipment in the passenger compartment
of the vehicle could cause injury. In a sudden
stop or collision, loose equipment could strike
someone. Store the tire sealant and compressor
kit in its original location.
18. Return the equipment to its original storage location
in your vehicle.
19. Immediately drive the vehicle 5 miles (8 km) to
distribute the sealant evenly in the tire. Stop
at a safe location and check the tire pressure,
refer to Steps 1 through 8 under "Using the
Air Compressor without Sealant" next in this section.
20. Stop at a safe location and check the tire pressure,
refer to Steps 1 through 9 under "Using the Tire
Sealant and Compressor Kit without Sealant
to Inflate an Underinflated Tire (Not Punctured)"
later in this section.
If the tire pressure has fallen more then 10 psi
(68 kPa), below the recommended inflation pressure,
stop driving the vehicle. The tire is too severely
damaged and the tire sealant and compressor
cannot seal the tire. See Roadside Assistance
Program on page 7-7 if you need assistance.
If the tire pressure has not dropped more than
10 psi (68 kPa) from the recommended inflation
pressure, inflate the tire back up to the
recommended inflation pressure.
21. Wipe off any sealant from the wheel, tire or vehicle.
22. Dispose of the sealant canister at a local
dealer/retailer or in accordance with local state
codes and practices.
After using the sealant canister, replace it with a
new canister from your dealer/retailer.
23. After temporarily sealing a tire with the tire sealant
and compressor kit, take your vehicle to your
dealer/retailer to have the tire repaired or replaced.
