Tire Sealant - Chevrolet 2001 Corvette Owner's Manual

Tire Sealant

The kit contains a liquid sealant that when injected into
a flat tire, may temporarily repair nail holes or cuts in
the tread area of the tire. The tire sealant cannot repair
tire damage caused while driving on a flat tire or a tire
that has had a "blow out" or a tire that has punctures in
the sidewall areas. The tire sealant solution is a one
use application for one tire only. Check the tire sealant
expiration date; the sealant may not be as effective
beyond the expiration date. The tire sealant can be
peeled off easily after drying.
NOTICE:
Do not use a tire sealant if your vehicle is
equipped with Extended Mobility Tires or tire
pressure monitors. The tire sealant can damage
tire pressure monitor sensors. See "Extended
Mobility Tires" in the Index.
Air Compressor
The air compressor included in the Tire Inflator Kit,
was designed exclusively for the Z06 Model equipped
with P295/35ZR18 and P265/40ZR17 tires. After the
sealant has been injected into the flat tire, use the air
compressor to inflate the tire to at least 26 psi (179 kPa).
