15. If the flat tire was able to be
inflated to the recommended
inflation pressure, remove the
maximum speed label from the
sealant canister and place it in a
highly visible location.
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 its original
location.
16. Return the equipment to its
original storage location in
the trunk.
17. Immediately drive the vehicle
5 miles (8 km) to distribute the
sealant evenly in the tire.
18. Stop at a safe location and
check the tire pressure, refer
to Steps 1 through 9 under
“Using the Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit without Sealant
to Inflate an Underinflated Tire”
later in this section.
If the tire pressure has fallen
more then 10 psi (68 kPa),
below the recommended
inflation pressure, stop driving
the vehicle. The tire is too
severely damaged and the tire
sealant and compressor
cannot seal the tire. See
Roadside Assistance Program
on page 12-6 if you need
assistance.
If the tire pressure has not
dropped more than 10 psi
(68 kPa) from the
recommended inflation
pressure, inflate the tire back
up to the recommended inflation
pressure.
