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 on page 6-3.
See If a Tire Goes Flat on
page 10-64 for other important
safety warnings.
Do not remove any objects that
have penetrated the tire.
1. Remove the tire sealant and compressor kit from its storage
location. See Storing the Tire
Sealant and Compressor Kit on
page 10-72 orStoring the Tire
Sealant and Compressor Kit
(Diesel) on page 10-73.
Make sure the on/off button (4)
is in the off (O) position.
2. Unwrap the sealant/air hose (7) and the power plug (3).
3. Place the kit on the ground. Make sure the tire valve stem is
positioned close to the ground
so the hose will reach it. 4. Remove the valve stem cap from
the flat tire by turning it
counterclockwise.
5. Attach the sealant/air hose (7) onto the tire valve stem. Turn it
clockwise until it is tight.
6. Plug the power plug (3) into the accessory power outlet in the
vehicle. Unplug all items from
other accessory power outlets.
See Power Outlets on page 5-6.
If the vehicle has an accessory
power outlet, do not use the
cigarette lighter.
If the vehicle only has a cigarette
lighter, use the cigarette lighter.

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 (4) to
turn the tire sealant and
compressor kit on.
The compressor will inject
sealant and air into the tire.
The pressure gauge (5) 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.
9. Inflate the tire to the recommended inflation pressure
using the pressure gauge (5).
The recommended inflation
pressure can be found on the
Tire and Loading Information
label. See Tire Pressure on
page 10-51.
The pressure gauge (5) 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 25 minutes, the
vehicle should not be driven
farther. The tire is too severely
damaged and the tire sealant and

unscrew the inflating hose from
the tire valve. SeeRoadside
Assistance Program on
page 13-5. 10. Press the on/off button (4) 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 11–17 must
be done immediately after
Step 10.
Be careful while handling the
tire sealant and compressor kit
as it could be warm after
usage.
11. Unplug the power plug (3) from the accessory power outlet in
the vehicle.
12. Turn the sealant/air hose (7) counterclockwise to remove it
from the tire valve stem.
13. Replace the tire valve stem cap.

back in their original location.15. If the flat tire was able to inflate
to the recommended inflation
pressure, remove the
maximum speed label from the
sealant canister (2) and place it
in a highly visible location.
Do not exceed the speed on
this label until the damaged tire
is repaired or replaced.
16. Return the equipment to its original storage location in the
vehicle.
17. Immediately drive the vehicle 8 km (5 mi) to distribute the
