Tire Sealant
Read and follow the safe handling instructions on the
sealant canister.
The sealant can temporarily seal small punctures in the
tread area of the tire. The sealant cannot seal sidewall
damage, large punctures, or a tire that has unseated
from the wheel. See Roadside Service on page 7-6 if
you need assistance.
The sealant can only be used to seal one tire. After
usage, the sealant canister and sealant filling hose
assembly must be replaced at a dealer/retailer.
See “Removal and Installation of Sealant Canister”
later in this section.
Check the tire sealant expiration date on the sealant
canister. The sealant might not be effective beyond the
expiration date. If needed, see your dealer/retailer
for a replacement canister.
