290 Vehicle Care
Do not pinch the power plug
cord in the door or window.
8. Start the vehicle. The vehicle must be running while using
the air compressor.
9. Press the on/off button (7) to turn the tire sealant and
compressor kit on.
The compressor will inject
sealant and air into the tire.
The pressure gauge (3) will
initially show a high pressure
while the compressor pushes
the sealant into the tire. Once
the sealant is completely
dispersed into the tire, the
pressure will quickly drop and
start to rise again as the tire
inflates with air only.
10. Inflate the tire to the recommended inflation
pressure using the pressure
gauge (3). The recommended
inflation pressure can be found
on the Tire and Loading
Information label. See Tire
Pressure 0272. The pressure gauge (3) may
read higher than the actual tire
pressure while the compressor
is on. Turn the compressor off
to get an accurate pressure
reading. The compressor may
be turned on/off until the
correct pressure is reached.
Caution
If the recommended pressure
cannot be reached after
approximately 10 minutes, the
vehicle should not be driven
farther. The tire is too severely
damaged and the tire sealant and
compressor kit cannot inflate the
tire. Remove the power plug from
the accessory power outlet and
unscrew the inflating hose from
the tire valve. See
Roadside
Assistance Program 0344.
11. Press the on/off button (7) to turn the tire sealant and
compressor kit off. The tire is not sealed and will
continue to leak air until the
vehicle is driven and the
sealant is distributed in the tire.
Therefore, Steps 12–14 must
be done immediately after
Step 11.
Be careful while handling the
tire sealant and compressor kit
as it could be warm after
usage.
12. Unplug the power plug (5) from the accessory power outlet in
the vehicle.
13. Turn the sealant/air hose (6) counterclockwise to remove it
from the tire valve stem.
14. Replace the tire valve stem cap.
15. Immediately drive the vehicle 8 km (5 mi) but not longer than
10 minutes to distribute the
sealant in the tire.

16. Stop at a safe location andcheck the tire pressure. Refer
to Steps 1–10 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 0344.
If the tire pressure has not
dropped more than 68 kPa
(10 psi) from the recommended
inflation pressure, inflate the
tire to the recommended
inflation pressure by using the
compressor to increase the
pressure or turn the air release
valve counterclockwise at the
air filler hose to decrease the
pressure.
17. 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.
18. The sealant canister cannot be removed from the compressor.
See your dealer to have the
canister replaced.
19. Return the sealant/air hose (6) and power plug (5) back to
their original storage location.
20. Store the tire sealant and compressor kit in the load
compartment.
21. Wipe off any sealant from the wheel, tire, or vehicle. 22. 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.

If the vehicle only has a
cigarette lighter, use the
cigarette lighter.
Do not pinch the power plug
cord in the door or window.
7. Start the vehicle. The vehicle must be running while using
the air compressor. 8. Press the on/off button (7) to

{Warning
Idling a vehicle in an enclosed
area with poor ventilation is
dangerous. Engine exhaust may
enter the vehicle. Engine exhaust
contains carbon monoxide (CO)
which cannot be seen or smelled.
It can cause unconsciousness
and even death. Never run the
engine in an enclosed area that (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
has no fresh air ventilation. For
more information, seeEngine
Exhaust 0183.
{Warning
Overinflating a tire could cause
the tire to rupture and you or
others could be injured. Be sure
to read and follow the tire sealant
and compressor kit instructions
and inflate the tire to its
recommended pressure. Do not
exceed the recommended
pressure.

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 its
original location.
If this vehicle has a tire sealant and
compressor kit, there may not be a
spare tire or tire changing
equipment, and on some vehicles
there may not be a place to store
a tire.
The tire sealant and compressor
can be used to temporarily seal
punctures up to 6 mm (0.25 in) in
the tread area of the tire. It can also
be used to inflate an
underinflated tire.
If the tire has been separated from
the wheel, has damaged sidewalls,
or has a large puncture, the tire is
too severely damaged for the tire
sealant and compressor kit to be
effective. See Roadside Assistance
Program 0344. Read and follow all of the tire
sealant and compressor kit
instructions.
The kit includes:
1. Tire Sealant Canister
2. Sealant/Air Hose
3. Base of Sealant Canister
4. Sealant Canister Inlet Valve

Read and follow the safe handling
instructions on the label adhered to
the tire sealant canister (1).
Check the tire sealant expiration
date on the tire sealant canister.
The tire sealant canister (1) should
be replaced before its expiration
date. Replacement tire sealant
canisters are available at your local
dealer.
There is only enough sealant to seal
one tire. After usage, the tire sealant
canister must be replaced.

Using the Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit to Temporarily
Seal and Inflate a
Punctured Tire
When using the tire sealant and
compressor kit during cold
temperatures, warm the kit in a
heated environment for five minutes.
This will help to inflate the tire
faster.
If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire
and wheel damage by driving slowly
to a level place. Turn on the hazard
warning flashers. SeeHazard
Warning Flashers 0150.
See If a Tire Goes Flat 0285 for
other important safety warnings.
Do not remove any objects that
have penetrated the tire. 1. Remove the tire sealant
canister (1) and compressor
from its storage location. See
Storing the Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit (With
Subwoofer) 0300 or
Storing the Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit (Without
Subwoofer) 0300.
2. Remove the air only hose (11) and the power plug (10) from
the bottom of the compressor.
3. Place the compressor on the ground near the flat tire.
4. Attach the air only hose (11) tothe sealant canister inlet
valve (4) by turning it clockwise
until tight.
5. Slide the base of the tire
sealant canister (3) into the slot
on the top of the compressor
(9) to hold it upright.
Make sure the tire valve stem
is positioned close to the
ground so the hose will
reach it.
6. Remove the valve stem cap from the flat tire by turning it
counterclockwise.

18. Turn the sealant/air hose (2) clockwise onto the sealant
canister inlet valve (4) to
prevent sealant leakage.
19. Return the air only hose (11) and power plug (10) back to
their original storage location.
20. 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.
