326 Vehicle Care
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
compressor kit cannot inflate the
tire. Remove the power plug from
the accessory power outlet and
unscrew the inflating hose from
the tire valve. SeeRoadside
Assistance Program0368.
12. Switch the on/off switch (1) tothe O position.
The tire is not sealed and willcontinue to leak air until thevehicle is driven and thesealant is distributed in the tire.Therefore, Steps 13–19 mustbe done immediately afterStep 12.
Be careful while handling thetire sealant and compressor kitas it could be warm afterusage.
13. Unplug the power plug (6) fromthe accessory power outlet inthe vehicle.
14. Turn the sealant/air hose (5)counterclockwise to remove itfrom the tire valve stem.
15. Replace the tire valvestem cap.
16. Replace the sealant/airhose (5), and the power plug (6back in their original location.
17. If the flat tire was able to inflateto the recommended inflationpressure, remove themaximum speed label from thetire sealant canister (3) andplace it in a highly visiblelocation.
Do not exceed the speed onthis label until the damaged tireis repaired or replaced.
18. Return the equipment to itsoriginal storage location in thevehicle.
19. Immediately drive the vehicle8km(5mi)todistributethesealant in the tire.
20. Stop at a safe location andcheck the tire pressure. Referto Steps 1–10 under“Using theTire Sealant and CompressorKit without Sealant to Inflate aTire (Not Punctured).”
If the tire pressure has fallenmore than 68 kPa (10 psi)below the recommendedinflation pressure, stop drivingthe vehicle. The tire is tooseverely damaged and the tiresealant cannot seal the tire.SeeRoadside AssistanceProgram0368.
If the tire pressure has notdropped more than 68 kPa(10 psi) from the recommendedinflation pressure, inflate thetire to the recommendedinflation pressure.

Replace the jack, tools, containerand flat tire in the trunk by reversingthe steps used to remove them.
Full-Size Spare Tire
If this vehicle came with a full-sizespare tire, it was fully inflated whennew, however, it can lose air overtime. Check the inflation pressureregularly. SeeTire Pressure0309andVehicle Load Limits0226forinformation regarding proper tireinflation and loading the vehicle. Forinstructions on how to remove,install, or store a spare tire, seeTireChanging0329.
After installing the spare tire on thevehicle, stop as soon as possibleand check that the spare is correctlyinflated. The spare tire is made toperform well at speeds up to11 2 k m / h ( 7 0 m p h ) a t t h erecommended inflation pressure, soyou can finish your trip.
The full-size spare includes a TPMSsensor. The TPMS will not monitoror display the spare tire air pressureuntil the tire/wheel is installed at oneof the four tire/wheel positions onthe vehicle and matched to the newposition. SeeTire Pressure MonitorOperation0312for informationabout matching the spare tire tothe TPMS.
Have the damaged or flat road tirerepaired or replaced and installedback onto the vehicle as soon aspossible so the spare tire will beavailable in case it is needed again.Do not mix tires and wheels ofdifferent sizes, because they will notfit. Keep the spare tire and its wheeltogether.
