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
1
⁄
4
inch (6 mm) in the tread area of the
tire. There is no jack of spare tire. The kit inflates 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 5-52, the vehicle must
be driven for five miles to distribute the sealant in the
tire and seal the puncture. 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, take your vehicle to an authorized
dealer/retailer as soon as possible. If the sealant is
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.
