4-6 Repairing a Flat Tire with Nissan Emergency Tire Puncture Repair Kit
LEAF
is equipped with a tire repair kit as standard equipment. It is intended to be used to temporarily repair
minor tire punctures. • After using the Emergency Tire Sealant to repair a minor tire puncture, do not drive the
vehicle
at speeds faster than 50 MPH (80 km/h) .
• Immediately after using the Emergency Tire Sealant to repair a minor tire puncture, it is recommended you visit 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.
• If you used the Emergency Tire Sealant to repair a minor tire puncture, it is recommended you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer 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.
• Make sure the parking brake is applied.
• Turn the power switch OFF while using the Emergency Tire Sealant to repair a flat tire.
• Have all passengers get out of the vehicle and stand in a safe place away from traffic and clear of the vehicle.
• Make sure the vehicle is located safely away from oncoming traffic and other hazards.
• Observe the following precautions when using the tire repair compound:
– Swallowing the compound is dangerous. Immediately drink as much water as possible and seek prompt medical assistance.
– Rinse well with lots of water if the compound comes into contact with skin or eyes. If irritation persists, seek prompt medical attention.
– Keep the repair compound out of the reach of children.
– The emergency repair compound may cause a malfunction of the tire pressure sensors and cause the low tire pressure warning light to illuminate. Have the tire pressure
sensor replaced as soon as possible.
