16. If the flat tire was able to inflate

to the 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.

17. Return the equipment to its

original storage location in
the vehicle.

18. Immediately drive the vehicle

8 km (5 mi) to distribute the
sealant in the tire.

19. Stop at a safe location and

check the tire pressure.
Refer to Steps 1 through 11
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 Assistance
Program (U.S. and Canada) on
page 13‑7
or Roadside
Assistance Program (Mexico)
on page 13‑9
.

If the tire pressure has not
dropped more than 68 kPa
(10 psi) from the recommended
inflation pressure, use the
compressor kit to inflate the tire
to the recommended inflation
pressure.

20. Wipe off any sealant from the

wheel, tire, and vehicle.

21. Dispose of the used sealant

canister and sealant/air
hose (F) assembly at a local
dealer or in accordance with
local state codes and practices.

22. Replace it with a new canister

available from your dealer.

23. After temporarily sealing a

tire using the tire sealant and
compressor kit, take the
vehicle to an authorized dealer
within 161 km (100 mi) of
driving to have the tire repaired
or replaced.
