• To avoid the Emergency Tire Puncture Repair Kit from being damaged during storage or
use:
–
Only use the Emergency Tire Puncture Repair Kit on the LEAF vehicle. Do not use it
on other vehicles.
– Only use the kit to inflate the tires of the LEAF and to check the vehicle’s tire pressure.
– Only plug the compressor into a 12V DC car power point.
– Keep the kit free of dirt and water.
– Do not disassemble or modify the kit.
– Do not drop the kit or allow hard impacts to the kit.
• Do not use the Emergency Tire Puncture Repair Kit under the following conditions. It is recommended you contact a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer or professional road
assistance:

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. It is recommended
you contact a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer. The sealant bottle and hose cannot be reused
to repair another punctured tire. It is recommended you contact a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer
to purchase replacements.
4-6.3 After Repairing the Tire
It is recommended you visit 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, it is recommended you 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, 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.
