Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit
If your vehicle has a factory installed tire sealant and
compressor kit, there is no spare tire, no tire changing
equipment and no place to store a tire.
If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire and wheel damage
by driving slowly to a level place and stopping.
1. Turn on the hazard warning flashers. See Hazard
Warning Flashers on page 3-6.
2. Park your vehicle. Set the parking brake firmly and
put the shift lever in PARK (P). See Shifting Into
Park on page 2-35.
3. Turn off the engine.
4. Inspect the flat tire.
If the tire has been separated from the wheel, has
damaged sidewalls, or has a puncture larger than a
1
⁄
4
inch (6 mm), the tire is too severely damaged for
the tire sealant and compressor kit to be effective.
See Roadside Assistance Program on page 7-7.
If the tire has a puncture less than a
1
⁄
4
inch (6 mm)
in the tread area of the tire, see Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit on page 5-73.
Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire sealant and
compressor kit that is capable of temporarily sealing
a puncture up to a
1
⁄
4
inch (6 mm) in the tread area
of the tire. The kit inflates 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 5-56, the vehicle must be driven
for five miles (8 km) to distribute the sealant in the
tire and seal the puncture. See “Using the Tire
Sealant and Compressor Kit to Temporarily Seal
and Inflate a Punctured Tire” later in this section.
