If the at tire is due to a slow leak caused by a
nail or other similar road hazard, the tire inator
kit may be used to temporarily repair the
damaged tire.
After temporarily repairing a tire using the tire
inator kit, it is recommended to take your vehicle
to an authorized GM dealer within 100 miles
(161 kilometers) of driving to have the tire
inspected and repaired. If the sealant isn’t
removed from the tire within a 100 miles
(161 kilometers) of driving, it is more likely
that the tire and tire pressure monitoring sensor
may get damaged and have to be replaced.Accessing the Tire Inator Kit
To access the tire inator kit, do the following:
1. Open the trunk. SeeTrunk on page 96
for more information.
2. Locate the tire inator kit by lifting up the
carpet.
3. Remove the inator
kit cover by turning
the center nut
counterclockwise.

Using the Tire Inator Kit
To use the tire inator kit, do the following:
1. Place the inator kit on the ground and unwrap
the sealant lling hose from the compressor.
2. Remove the air compressor accessory plug
from the unit. To do this, pull the top portion
of the wrapped cord out rst, then the bottom,
then unsnap the plug. Do not insert the
plug into an accessory outlet yet.
3. Remove the valve stem cap from the at tire
by turning it counterclockwise.
If an object, such as a nail, has penetrated the
tire, do not remove it.
4. Attach the sealant lling hose (A) onto the tire
valve stem. Turn it clockwise until it is tight.
Make sure the inator kit on/off switch (B) is in
the O (off) position.
5. Plug the air compressor accessory plug (C)
into an accessory power outlet in the vehicle.
SeeAccessory Power Outlet(s) on page 156
for more information.

9. Inate the tire up to the recommended
ination pressure, found on the Tire and
Loading Information label located on
the vehicle’s center pillar (B-pillar) below the
vehicle’s door latch, using the air pressure
gage on the top of the unit as a guide.
The pressure gage reading is slightly high
while the compressor is on. Turn the
compressor off to get an accurate pressure
reading.
Notice:If the recommended pressure cannot
be reached after 15 minutes, the vehicle
should not be driven farther. Damage to the
tire is severe and the sealant will not be
effective. Remove the air compressor plug
from the accessory power outlet and unscrew
the inating hose from the tire valve. See
Roadside Assistance Program on page 498.10. Move the inator kit switch to the O (off)
position once the correct tire pressure is
obtained.
11. Turn off the engine.
12. Unplug the air compressor accessory plug
from the accessory power outlet in the
vehicle.
13. Disconnect the sealant lling hose from the
tire valve stem, by turning it counterclockwise,
and replace the tire valve stem cap.
Be careful when handling the tire inator
components as they may be hot after usage.
14. Wrap the sealant lling hose around the air
compressor channel to stow it in its original
location.
15. Stow the air compressor accessory plug back
in the air compressor. To do this, wrap the air
compressor accessory plug, snap in the
plug, and then push in the bottom and then
the top of the wrapped air compressor
accessory plug.
429

16. If the at tire was
able to inate to the
recommended
ination pressure,
remove the
maximum speed
label from the
sealant canister.
Place it in a highly visible location such as
the inside of the upper left corner of the
windshield or to the face of the radio/clock.
The maximum speed label reminds you
to drive cautiously and not to exceed
55 mph (90 km/h) until you have the
damaged tire inspected and repaired.
{CAUTION:
Storing the tire inator kit or other
equipment in the passenger compartment
of the vehicle could cause injury. In a
sudden stop or collision, loose equipment
could strike someone. Store the tire
inator kit in the proper place.
17. Return the equipment to the proper storage
location in the trunk of your vehicle.

the air compressor.
2. Push the sealant canister down and turn it
clockwise.
3. Wrap the sealant lling hose around the air
compressor channel to stow it in its original
location.
4. Push the air compressor inator hose onto
the sealant canister inlet and push the
lever down.

edge of the wheel cover could be sharp, so do
not try to remove it with your bare hands. Do not
drop the cover or lay it face down, as it could
become scratched or damaged.
