farther. The tire is too severely damaged and the tire sealant and compressor kit cannot inflate the tire. Remove the power plug from the accessory power outlet and unscrew the inflating hose from the tire valve. See Roadside Service on page 13-5.

11.Press the on/off button (2) to turn the tire sealant and compressor kit off.

The tire is not sealed and will continue to leak air until the vehicle is driven and the sealant is distributed in the tire, therefore, Steps 12–18 must be done immediately after

Step 11.

Be careful while handling the tire sealant and compressor kit as it could be warm after usage.

12.Unplug the power plug (8) from the accessory power outlet in the vehicle.

13.Turn the sealant/air hose (6) counterclockwise to remove it from the tire valve stem.

14.Replace the tire valve stem cap.

15.Replace the sealant/air hose (6), and the power plug (8) back in their original location.

16.If the flat tire was able to inflate to the recommended inflation pressure, remove the maximum speed label from the sealant canister (5) and place it in a highly visible location. Do not exceed the speed on this label until the damaged tire is repaired or replaced.

17.Return the equipment to its original storage location in the vehicle.

18.Immediately drive the vehicle 8 km (5 mi) to distribute the sealant in the tire.

19.Stop at a safe location and check the tire pressure. Refer to Steps 1–11 under “Using the Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit without Sealant to Inflate a Tire (Not Punctured).”

If the tire pressure has fallen more than 68 kPa (10 psi) below the recommended inflation pressure, stop driving the vehicle. The tire is too severely damaged and the tire sealant cannot seal the tire. See Roadside Service on page 13-5.

If the tire pressure has not dropped more than 68 kPa

(10 psi) from the recommended inflation pressure, inflate the tire to the recommended inflation pressure.
