IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
If the sealant (white fluid) does flow through the
Sealant Hose:
1. Continue to operate the pump
until sealant is no longer flowing
through hose (typically takes 30 - 70
seconds). As the sealant flows
through the Sealant Hose, the Pressure
Gauge can read as high as 70 psi (4.8 bar).
The Pressure Gauge will decrease quickly
from approximately 70 psi (4.8 bar) to the
actual tire pressure when the Sealant Bottle
is empty.
2. The pump will start to inject air into
the tire immediately after the
Sealant Bottle is empty. Continue to
operate the pump and inflate the tire
to the cold tire inflation pressure found on the
tire and loading information label located in
the driver-side door opening. Check the tire
pressure by looking at the Pressure Gauge.
If the tire does not inflate to at least 26 psi
(1.8 bar) within 15 minutes:
The tire is too badly damaged. Do not attempt to
drive the vehicle further. Call for assistance.
If the tire inflates to the recommended pressure or
is at least 26 psi (1.8 bar) within 15 minutes:
NOTE:
If the tire becomes overinflated, push the Deflation
Button to reduce the tire pressure to the recom-
mended inflation pressure before continuing.
1. Push the Power Button to turn the
Tire Service Kit off.
2. Remove the speed limit label from
the Tire Service Kit and place sticker
on the steering wheel.
3. Immediately disconnect the Sealant Hose
from the valve stem, reinstall the cap on the
fitting at the end of the hose, and place the Tire
Service Kit in the vehicle storage location.
Drive Vehicle:
Immediately after injecting sealant and
inflating the tire, drive the vehicle 5 miles
(8 km) or 10 minutes to ensure
distribution of the Tire Service Kit Sealant
within the tire. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
WARNING!
The Tire Service Kit is not a permanent flat tire
repair. Have the tire inspected and repaired or
replaced after using the Tire Service Kit. Do not
exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) until the tire is
repaired or replaced. Failure to follow this
warning can result in injuries that are serious or
fatal to you, your passengers, and others around
you. Have the tire checked as soon as possible
at an authorized dealer.
After Driving:
Pull over to a safe location and turn on the
vehicle's Hazard Warning Flashers.
Verify that the valve stem (on the wheel with the
deflated tire) is in a position that is near to the
ground. This will allow the Tire Service Kit Hose
to reach the valve stem and keep the Tire
Service Kit flat on the ground. This will provide
the best positioning of the kit when injecting the
sealant into the deflated tire and running the air
pump. Move the vehicle as necessary to place
the valve stem in this position before
proceeding.
Place the transmission in PARK (P) and cycle the
ignition in the OFF position.
Apply the parking brake.
