Vehicle Care

Using the Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit to Temporarily
Seal and Inflate a
Punctured Tire

When using the tire sealant and
compressor kit during cold
temperatures, warm the kit in a
heated environment for five minutes.
This will help to inflate the tire
faster.

If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire
and wheel damage by driving slowly
to a level place. Turn on the hazard
warning flashers. See

have penetrated the tire.

1. Remove the tire sealant

canister (4) and compressor
from its storage location. See

2. Remove the air only hose (10)

and the power plug (9) from the
bottom of the compressor.

3. Place the compressor on the

ground near the flat tire.

4. Attach the air only hose (10) to

the sealant canister inlet
valve (1) by turning it clockwise
until tight.

5. Slide the base of the tire

sealant canister (3) into the slot
on the top of the compressor
(6) to hold it upright.

Make sure the tire valve stem
is positioned close to the
ground so the hose will
reach it.

6. Remove the valve stem cap

from the flat tire by turning it
counterclockwise.
