Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit
Your vehicle has a tire sealant and compressor
kit capable of sealing a small puncture up to 6 mm
in the tread area of the tire. There is no jack or spare
tire. The kit inflates the tire with liquid sealant and
air. The tire sealant and compressor kit can also be used
to inflate an underinflated tire. After the tire is inflated
to the recommended pressure, see
Pressure on page 5-50
, the vehicle must be driven for
five miles, the tire pressure must be rechecked and
adjusted as needed. See” Using the Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit to Temporarily seal and Inflate a
Punctured Tire” later in this section.
After temporarily repairing a tire using the tire sealant
and compressor kit, take your vehicle to an authorized
dealer/retailer as soon as possible to have the tire
inspected and repaired or replaced. If the sealant is
removed within 100 miles (161 kilometers) of driving,
then it is easier to clean from the tire and you are
less likely to require a replacement tire.
Be sure to read and follow all of the tire sealant and
compressor kit instructions. The kit includes:
A. Air Compressor
B. Tire Sealant Canister
C. Sealant/Air Hose
D. Air Only Hose
E. Air Pressure Gage
F. On/Off Switch
G. Air Compressor
Accessory Plug
