12. Press the on/off button (5) to turnthe tire sealant and compressor
kit off.
The tire is not sealed and will
continue to leak air until the
vehicle is driven and the sealant is
distributed in the tire. Therefore,
Steps 13–21 must be done
immediately after Step 12.
Be careful while handling the tire
sealant and compressor kit as it
could be warm after usage.
13. Unplug the power plug (9) from the accessory power outlet in the
vehicle.
14. Turn the sealant/air hose (2) counterclockwise to remove it from
the tire valve stem.
15. Replace the tire valve stem cap.
16. Remove the tire sealant canister (4) from the slot on top of the
compressor (6).
17. Turn the air only hose (10) counterclockwise to remove it from
the tire sealant canister inlet
valve (1). 18. Turn the sealant/air hose (2)
clockwise onto the sealant canister
inlet valve (1) to prevent sealant
leakage.
19. Return the air only hose (10) and power plug (9) back to their
original storage location.
20. If the flat tire was able to inflate tothe recommended inflation
pressure, remove the maximum
speed label from the sealant
canister and place it in a highly
visible location.
Do not exceed the speed on this
label until the damaged tire is
repaired or replaced.
21. Return the equipment to its original storage location in the
vehicle.
22. Immediately drive the vehicle 8 km (5 mi) to distribute the sealant in
the tire. 23. Stop at a safe location and check
the tire pressure. Refer to Steps 1–
10 under “Using the Tire Sealant
and Compressor Kit without
Sealant to Inflate a Tire (Not
Punctured).”
If the tire pressure has fallen more
than 68 kPa (10 psi) below the
recommended inflation pressure,
stop driving the vehicle. The tire is
too severely damaged and the tire
sealant cannot seal the tire. See
Roadside Service 0396.
If the tire pressure has not dropped
more than 68 kPa (10 psi) from the
recommended inflation pressure,
inflate the tire to the
recommended inflation pressure.
24. Wipe off any sealant from the wheel, tire, or vehicle.
25. Dispose of the used tire sealant canister (4) at a local dealer or in
accordance with local state codes
and practices.
26. Replace it with a new canister available from your dealer.
27. After temporarily sealing a tire using the tire sealant and
compressor kit, take the vehicle to

If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire
and wheel damage by driving slowly
to a level place. Turn on the hazard
warning flashers. SeeHazard Warning
Flashers 0135.
See If a Tire Goes Flat 0345 for other
important safety warnings.
1. Remove the compressor from its storage location. See Storing the
Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit
0 352.
2. Remove the air only hose (10) and the power plug (9) from the bottom
of the compressor. 3. Place the compressor on the
ground near the flat tire.
Make sure the tire valve stem is
positioned close to the ground so
the hose will reach it.
4. Remove the valve stem cap from the flat tire by turning it
counterclockwise.
5. Attach the air only hose (10) to the tire valve stem by turning it
clockwise until tight.
6. Plug the power plug (9) into the accessory power outlet in the
vehicle. Unplug all items from
other accessory power outlets. See
Power Outlets 098.
If the vehicle has an accessory
power outlet, do not use the
cigarette lighter.
If the vehicle only has a cigarette
lighter, use the cigarette lighter.
Do not pinch the power plug cord
in the door or window.
7. Start the vehicle. The vehicle must be running while using the air
compressor.

8. Press the on/off button (5) to turnthe tire sealant and compressor
kit on.
The compressor will inflate the tire
with air only.
9. Inflate the tire to the recommended inflation pressure
using the pressure gauge (8). The
recommended inflation pressure
can be found on the Tire and
Loading Information label. See Tire
Pressure 0331.
The pressure gauge (8) may read
higher than the actual tire pressure
while the compressor is on. Turn
the compressor off to get an
accurate pressure reading. The
compressor may be turned on/off
until the correct pressure is
reached.
Caution
If the recommended pressure
cannot be reached after
approximately 25 minutes, the
vehicle should not be driven farther.
The tire is too severely damaged
and the tire sealant and compressor (Continued)
