{CAUTION:
Storing the tire sealant and compressor
kit or other equipment in the passenger
compartment of the vehicle could cause injury.
In a sudden stop or collision, loose equipment
could strike someone. Store the tire sealant
and compressor kit in the proper place.
16. Return the equipment to the proper storage location
in the trunk of your vehicle. You may need to
loosen the retention strap to wrap it around the
sealant and compressor kit and foam container.
To do this, pull apart the strap and loosen the strap
at the quick release buckle. Then snap the buckle
together, pull the strap tight, and secure the
loose end of the strap by mating the ends.
17. Immediately drive the vehicle 5 miles (8 km) to
distribute the sealant evenly in the tire.18. Stop at a safe location and check the tire pressure,
refer to Steps 1 through 8 under “Using the Air
Compressor without Sealant” next in this section.
If the tire pressure has not dropped more than
10 psi (68 kPa) from the recommended ination
pressure, you can inate the tire back up to
the recommended ination pressure.
19. If the tire pressure has fallen more then
10 psi (68 kPa), below the recommended ination
pressure, stop driving the vehicle. The tire is
too damaged for the sealant to work. See
Roadside Assistance Program on page 7-7.
20. Wipe off any sealant from the wheel, tire, and
vehicle with a rag.
21. Dispose of the sealant canister at a local
dealer/retailer or in accordance with local state
codes and practices.
After using the sealant canister, replace it with a
new canister from your dealer/retailer.
22. After temporarily sealing a tire with the tire sealant
and compressor kit, take your vehicle to your
dealer/retailer to have the tire inspected and
repaired.
