Tire Sealant And Compressor Kit - Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell Owner's Manual

Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit

Your vehicle is equipped with a tire sealant and
compressor kit that is capable of temporarily sealing a
puncture up to a 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 pressure,
see Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 5-19, 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. See "Using the Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit to Temporarily Seal and Inflate a
Punctured Tire" later in this section.
After temporarily repairing a tire using the tire sealant and
compressor kit, contact your Dealer Relationship
Manager (DRM) as soon as possible. If the sealant is
removed from the tire 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.
