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 flat tire was able
to inflate to the
recommended inflation
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 sealant and compressor 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 sealant
and compressor kit in the proper place.
17. Return the equipment to the proper storage location
in the trunk of your vehicle.
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 than 10 psi (68 kPa) below
the recommended inflation pressure, stop driving
the vehicle. The tire is too damaged for the sealant to
work. See Roadside Assistance Program on
page 7-6.
If the tire pressure has not dropped more than
10 psi (68 kPa) from the recommended inflation
pressure, you can inflate the tire back up to the
recommended inflation pressure.
