Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit
Your vehicle has a tire sealant and compressor kit that
is capable of temporarily sealing a puncture up to a
1
⁄
4
inch (6 mm) in the tread 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 5-56 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. See Using the
Tire Sealant and Compressor later in this section.
Be sure to read and follow all of the tire sealant and
compressor kit instructions. The kit includes the
following:
A. Air Compressor
B. Tire Sealant Canister
C. Air Compressor
Accessory Plug
D. On/Off Switch
E. Air Pressure Gage
F. Air Compressor
Inflator Hose
G. Sealant Filling Hose
After temporarily sealing a tire using 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 not removed from the tire within
100 miles (161 kilometers) of driving, the dealer/retailer
may recommend that the tire be replaced.
