periods of time may cause serious damage or injury.
CAUTION: Follow all directions and warnings on the tire
inflation kit.
Tire Repair
The tire inflation kit is a temporary repair only. You must
repair or replace a damaged tire as soon as possible. For
punctures larger than 1/4” (6 mm), severe tread damage, a
damaged sidewall, ripped tires or tires that have come off the
rim, contact Roadside Assistance. To temporarily repair a
tire:
1. Park your vehicle in a safe, open location.
2. Ensure the compressor is Off.
3. Remove the punctured tire valve cap on the vehicle and
connect the transparent sealant tube to the valve
opening.
4.
Insert the electrical plug into one of the vehicle's low
voltage outlets.
5.
Turn the selector switch to the tire icon and turn On.
Once the sealant has properly flowed into the tire, the
gauge shows the current tire pressure. The ideal pressure
is indicated on the driver's side door pillar of the vehicle.
After several minutes, ensure the gauge shows the ideal
tire pressure before continuing.
NOTE: If the gauge still indicates a pressure of less than
22 PSI (1.5 Bar) after 15 minutes of consecutive operation,
disconnect the transparent sealant tube and screw the
tire valve cap back on. Drive for a few feet (meters) to
allow the sealant to distribute within the tire. Park
Model
Y and re-try steps 2-5. If this still does not work, call
Tesla Roadside Assistance.
6.
Turn the kit Off and disconnect the tube from the tire.
Screw the tire valve cap back on.
7.
Drive within the indicated speed limit (shown on sticker
on the tire repair kit) without suddenly accelerating or
braking. After approximately 10 minutes of driving, park in
a safe, open space again. Proceed to inflate the tire(s)
now that the sealant has been distributed in the tire.
WARNING: The sealant liquid is efficient at
temperatures between -40°F (-40°C) and 122° F
(50°C). Do not use sealant liquid after the
expiration date indicated on the label. See Canister
Replacement on page 190 for more information on
replacing a used or expired canister.
