dropped more than 68 kPa
(10 psi) from the recommended
inflation pressure, 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 (5) and sealant/air hose
(6) assembly at a local dealer or
in accordance with local
regulations and practices.

22. Replace with a new canister

assembly available from your
dealer.

23. After temporarily sealing the 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.

Using the Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit without Sealant
to Inflate a Tire (Not Punctured)

To use the air compressor to inflate a
tire with air only and not sealant:

If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire
and wheel damage by driving slowly
to a level place. Turn on the hazard
warning flashers. See
