Different Size Tires and Wheels
If you add wheels or tires that are a different
size than your original equipment wheels and
tires, this may affect the way your vehicle
performs, including its braking, ride and handling
characteristics, stability, and resistance to
rollover. Additionally, if your vehicle has electronic
systems such as, anti-lock brakes, traction
control, and stability control, the performance
of these systems can be affected.{CAUTION:
If you add different sized wheels, your
vehicle may not provide an acceptable
level of performance and safety if tires
not recommended for those wheels are
selected. You may increase the chance
that you will crash and suffer serious
injury. Only use Saturn speci c wheel and
tire systems developed for your vehicle,
and have them properly installed by a
Saturn certi ed technician.
SeeBuying New Tires on page 296and
Accessories and Modi cations on page 233for
additional information.

Tire Sealant
The kit contains a liquid sealant that when injected
into a at tire, may temporarily repair nail holes
or cuts in the tread area of the tire. The tire sealant
cannot repair tire damage caused while driving
on a at tire or a tire that has had a “blow out” or
a tire that has punctures in the sidewall areas.
The tire sealant solution is to be used for a single
tire and can only be used once.
Check the tire sealant expiration date on the
sealant canister. The sealant may not be
as effective beyond the expiration date. If needed,
see your retailer for a replacement canister.
Using the Tire In ator Kit
To use the tire in ator kit, do the following:
1. Place the in ator 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,
and 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 in ator 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 121
for more information.
{CAUTION:
Idling the engine in a closed-in place or
with the climate control system off can
cause deadly carbon monoxide (CO).
SeeEngine Exhaust on page 91.
6. Start the vehicle. SeeStarting the Engine
on page 80for more information. The
vehicle must be running while using the
air compressor.
{CAUTION:
In ating something too much can make
it explode, and you or others could be
injured. Be sure to read the in ator
instructions, and in ate the tire to its
recommended pressure. Do not exceed
36 psi (248 kPa).

7. Push the in ator kit switch to the I (on)
position.
The in ator kit will force sealant and air into
the tire. Sealant may leak from the puncture
hole until the vehicle is driven and the hole
has sealed.
8. Make sure there is a proper connection
between the tire valve stem and the
sealant lling hose by looking at the air
pressure gage. If there is not a pressure
reading while the compressor is running,
the connection between the in ator kit and
the tire is bad.
Check the attachment between the sealant
lling hose and the tire valve stem.
9. In ate the tire up to the recommended
in ation 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.
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 in ating hose from the tire valve. See
Roadside Assistance Program on page 359.
10. Push the in ator 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 in ator
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.
16. If the at tire was
able to in ate to
the recommended
in ation 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 in ator 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 in ator kit in the proper place.
17. Return the equipment to the proper storage
location in the trunk of your vehicle. You may
need to loosen the retention strap to wrap
it around the in ator kit and foam container.
To do this, pull apart the strap and loosen
the strap at the quick release buckle.
Then snap the buckle together, pull the strap
tight, and secure the loose end of the strap
by mating the ends.

18. Immediately drive the vehicle 5 miles (8 km)
to distribute the sealant evenly in the tire.
Stop at a safe location and check the
tire pressure, refer to Steps 1 through 8 under
“Using the Air Compressor without Sealant”
next in this section. If the tire pressure
has fallen more then 10 psi (68 kPa), below
the recommended in ation pressure, stop
driving the vehicle. The tire is too damaged for
the sealant to work. SeeRoadside Assistance
Program on page 359.
If the tire pressure has not dropped more than
10 psi (68 kPa) from the recommended
in ation pressure, you can in ate the tire back
up to the recommended in ation pressure.
19. Dispose of the sealant canister at a local
retailer or in accordance with your local
state codes and practices.
After using the sealant canister, replace it
with a new canister from a retailer.
20. After temporarily repairing a tire with the
emergency at tire repair kit, take your
vehicle to an authorized retailer to have
the tire inspected and repaired.Using the Air Compressor without
Sealant
To use the air compressor by itself to in ate a tire,
do the following:
1. Remove the air compressor accessory plug
from the air compressor.
2. Unlock the air compressor hose from the
sealant canister by pulling up on the lever.
3. Pull the air compressor in ator hose from
the sealant canister.
4. Push the air compressor in ator hose onto
the tire valve stem and push the lever down
to secure in place.

in ation pressure using the air pressure gage
on the top of the unit.
10. Turn off the air compressor by moving the
switch to the O (off) position.
{CAUTION:
Storing the tire in ator 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
in ator kit in the proper place.
11. Disconnect the compressor in ator hose and
wrap the hose in the bottom of the in ator kit.
12. Place the equipment in the original location in
the trunk of your vehicle.
