use:
–
Only use the Emergency Tire Puncture Repair Kit on the LEAF vehicle. Do not use it
on other vehicles.

– when the cut or the puncture in the tire is approximately 0.25 in (6 mm) or longer.

To avoid serious personal injury when stowing the emergency tire puncture repair kit keep
the
sealant bottle screwed into the compressor. Failure to do so can cause the sealant to
spray into the air and get into your eyes or on your skin.
9. Immediately drive the vehicle for ten (10) minutes or 2 miles (3 km) at a speed below 50 MPH(80 km/h) .
10. After driving, make sure the air compressor switch is in the OFF position. Then screw the hose securely onto the tire valve. Check the tire pressure with the pressure gauge. Temporary repair is
completed if the tire pressure does not drop. Make sure the pressure is adjusted to the pressure
specified on the tire and loading information label before driving.
11. If the tire pressure drops, repeat the steps from 5 to 10. If the pressure drops again or under 19 psi (130 kPa) , the tire cannot be repaired with this tire repair kit. Contact a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer. The sealant bottle and hose cannot be reused to repair another punctured
tire. Contact a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer to purchase replacements.
4-6.3 After Repairing the Tire
See a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for tire repair/replacement as soon as possible. • After using Emergency Tire Sealant to repair a minor puncture, do not drive the vehicle at
speeds
faster than 50 MPH (80 km/h) .
• Immediately after using Emergency Tire Sealant to repair a minor tire puncture, take the vehicle to a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer to inspect and repair or replace the tire. The
Emergency Tire Sealant cannot permanently seal a punctured tire. Continuing operation
of the vehicle without a permanent tire repair can lead to a crash.
• Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol tire sealant into the tires as this may cause a malfunction of the tire pressure sensors.
• If you used the Emergency Tire Sealant to repair a minor tire puncture, a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer will also need to replace the TPMS sensor in addition to repairing or
replacing the tire.
• Nissan recommends using only NISSAN Genuine Emergency Tire Sealant provided with the vehicle. Other tire sealants may damage the valve stem seal which can cause the
tire to lose air pressure.
