14. Replace the sealant/air hose (F),
and the power plug (C) back in
their original location.
15. If the at tire was able to inate
to the recommended ination
pressure, remove the maximum
speed label from the sealant
canister (B) and place it
in a highly visible location.
The label is a reminder not to
exceed 55 mph (90 km/h)
until the damaged tire is
repaired or replaced.
16. Return the equipment to its
original storage location in
the vehicle.17. Immediately drive the vehicle
5 miles (8 km) to distribute the
sealant in the tire.
18. Stop at a safe location and
check the tire pressure.
Refer to Steps 1 through 11
under “Using the Tire Sealant
and Compressor Kit without
Sealant to Inate a Tire
(Not Punctured).”
If the tire pressure has fallen
more than 10 psi (68 kPa) below
the recommended ination
pressure, stop driving the
vehicle. The tire is too severely
damaged and the tire sealant
cannot seal the tire. See
Roadside Assistance Program
on page 7-5.
If the tire pressure has not
dropped more than 10 psi
(68 kPa) from the recommended
ination pressure, inate the
tire to the recommended
ination pressure.19. Wipe off any sealant from the
wheel, tire or vehicle.
20. Dispose of the used sealant
canister (B) and sealant/air
hose (F) assembly at a
local dealer/retailer or in
accordance with local state
codes and practices.
21. Replace it with a new canister
available from your
dealer/retailer.
22. After temporarily sealing a tire
using the tire sealant and
compressor kit, take the vehicle
to an authorized dealer/retailer
within a 100 miles (161 km)
of driving to have the tire
repaired or replaced.

Using the Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit without
Sealant to Inate a Tire (Not
Punctured)
To use the air compressor to inate
a tire with air only and not sealant:
Always do a safety check rst. See
If a Tire Goes Flat on page 5-58.
1. Remove the tire sealant and
compressor kit from its storage
location. SeeTire Sealant and
Compressor Kit Storage on
page 5-66.2. Unlock the air only hose (F) from
the sealant canister (B) by
pulling up on the lever.
3. Pull the air only hose (F) from
the sealant canister (B).
4. Remove the power plug (C) from
the air compressor (A).
5. Place the kit on the ground.
Make sure the tire valve
stem is positioned close to the
ground so the hose will reach it.
6. Remove the tire valve stem cap
by turning it counterclockwise.
7. Attach the air only hose (F) onto
the tire valve stem and press the
lever down to secure it.
8. Plug the power plug (C) into the
accessory power outlet in the
vehicle. Unplug all items
from other accessory power
outlets. SeeAccessory Power
Outlet(s) on page 3-16.
If the vehicle has an accessory
power outlet, do not use the
cigarette lighter.If the vehicle only has a cigarette
lighter, use the cigarette lighter.
Do not pinch the power plug
cord in the door or window.
9. Start the vehicle. The vehicle
must be running while using
the air compressor.
10. Press the on/off (D) button to
turn the compressor on.
The compressor will inate the
tire with air only.
11. Inate the tire to the
recommended ination pressure
using the pressure gage (E).
The recommended ination
pressure can be found on the
Tire and Loading Information
label. SeeInflation - Tire
Pressure on page 5-43.
The pressure gage (E) may
read higher than the actual tire
pressure while the compressor
is on. Turn the compressor
off to get an accurate reading.
The compressor may be
turned on/off until the correct
pressure is reached.

This data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances
in which crashes and injuries
occur.
Important:EDR data is recorded
by your vehicle only if a non-trivial
crash situation occurs; no data
is recorded by the EDR under
normal driving conditions and no
personal data (e.g., name, gender,
age, and crash location) is
recorded. However, other parties,
such as law enforcement, could
combine the EDR data with the type
of personally identifying data
routinely acquired during a crash
investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR,
special equipment is required,
and access to the vehicle or the
EDR is needed. In addition to
the vehicle manufacturer, other
parties, such as law enforcement,
that have the special equipment, can
read the information if they have
access to the vehicle or the EDR.Saturn will not access this data or
share it with others except: with
the consent of the vehicle owner or,
if the vehicle is leased, with the
consent of the lessee; in response
to an official request of police or
similar government office; as part of
Saturn’s defense of litigation
through the discovery process; or,
as required by law. Data that Saturn
collects or receives may also be
used for Saturn research needs or
may be made available to others
for research purposes, where
a need is shown and the data is not
tied to a specic vehicle or vehicle
owner.

If your vehicle has OnStar and you
subscribe to the OnStar services,
please refer to the OnStar
Terms and Conditions for
information on data collection and
use. See alsoOnStar

on page 2-29in this manual
for more information.
Navigation System
If your vehicle has a navigation
system, use of the system
may result in the storage of
destinations, addresses, telephone
numbers, and other trip information.
Refer to the navigation system
operating manual for information on
stored data and for deletion
instructions.
Radio Frequency
Identication (RFID)
RFID technology is used in some
vehicles for functions such as
tire pressure monitoring and ignition
system security, as well as in
connection with conveniences such
as key fobs for remote door
locking/unlocking and starting, and
in-vehicle transmitters for garage
door openers. RFID technology in
Saturn vehicles does not use
or record personal information or
link with any other Saturn system
containing personal information.
