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
0439.
Read and follow all of the tire
sealant and compressor kit
instructions.
The kit includes:
1. Sealant Canister Inlet Valve
2. Sealant/Air Hose
3. Base of Sealant Canister
4. Tire Sealant Canister

Compact Spare Tire
{Warning
Driving with more than one
compact spare tire at a time
could result in loss of
braking and handling. This
could lead to a crash and
you or others could be
injured. Use only one
compact spare tire at a time.
If this vehicle has a compact
spare tire, it was fully inflated
when new; however, it can
lose air over time. Check the
inflation pressure regularly.
It should be 420 kPa (60 psi).
Stop as soon as possible and
check that the spare tire is
correctly inflated after being
installed on the vehicle. The
compact spare tire is designed
for temporary use only. The
vehicle will perform differently
with the spare tire installed
and it is recommended that
the vehicle speed be limited to
80 km/h (50 mph). To conserve the tread of the spare tire,
have the standard tire
repaired or replaced as soon
as convenient and return the
spare tire to the storage area.
When using a compact spare
tire, the AWD (if equipped),
ABS, and Traction Control
systems may engage until the
spare tire is recognized by the
vehicle, especially on slippery
roads. Adjust driving to reduce
possible wheel slip.
Caution
When the compact spare is
installed, do not take the
vehicle through an
automatic car wash with
guide rails. The compact
spare can get caught on the
rails which can damage the
tire, wheel, and other parts
of the vehicle.
Do not use the compact spare
on other vehicles. Do not mix the compact spare
tire or wheel with other
wheels or tires. They will not
fit. Keep the spare tire and its
wheel together.
Caution
Tire chains will not fit the
compact spare. Using them
can damage the vehicle and
the chains. Do not use tire
chains on the compact
spare.
