Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit
Your vehicle has a tire sealant and compressor kit
capable of sealing a small puncture up to
1
⁄
4
inch (6 mm)
in the tread area of the tire. The kit inflates the tire with
liquid sealant and air. The tire sealant and compressor
kit can also be used to inflate an underinflated tire.
After the tire is inflated to the recommended pressure,
see Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 5-52, the vehicle
must be driven for five miles, the tire pressure must be
rechecked and adjusted as needed. See Using the
Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit later in this section.
Be sure to read and follow all of the tire sealant and
compressor kit instructions. The kit includes:
A. Air Compressor
B. Tire Sealant Canister
C. Air Compressor
Accessory Plug
D. On/Off Switch
E. Air Pressure Gage
F. Air Compressor
Inflator Hose
G. Sealant Filling Hose
After temporarily repairing a tire using the tire sealant
and compressor kit, take your vehicle to an authorized
dealer/retailer as soon as possible. If the sealant is
removed within 100 miles (161 kilometers) of driving,
then it is easier to clean from the tire and you are
less likely to require a replacement tire.
