Tire Sealant
When using the tire sealant and compressor kit during
cold temperatures, warm the tire sealant and compressor
kit in a heated environment such as the vehicle for
five minutes. This will help to inflate the tire faster.
Read and follow the safe handling instructions on the
instructional label adhered to the tire sealant canister.
Check the tire sealant expiration date on the sealant
canister. The sealant canister should be replaced before
its expiration date. For replacement canisters contact
your Driver Relationship Manager (DRM). See “Removal
and Installation of Sealant Canister” later in this section.
The sealant can temporarily seal a puncture up to 6 mm
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
OnStar
®
on page 7-6
or contact your Driver Relationship Manager (DRM).
The sealant can only be used to seal one tire. After
usage the tire sealant canister and sealant/air hose
assembly must be replaced. Contact your Dealer
Relationship Manager (DRM). See “Removal and
Installation of Sealant Canister” later in this section.
