Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit
WARNING
Idling a vehicle in an enclosed area with poor ventilation is dangerous. Engine
exhaust may enter the vehicle. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO)
which cannot be seen or smelled.
It can cause unconsciousness and even death. Never run the engine in an
enclosed area that has no fresh air ventilation.
For more information, see Engine Exhaust.
WARNING
Overinflating a tire could cause the tire to rupture and you or others could be
injured.
Be sure to read and follow the tire sealant and compressor kit instructions and
inflate the tire to its recommended pressure.
Do not exceed the recommended pressure.
WARNING
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.
If this vehicle has a tire sealant and compressor kit, there may not be a spare tire, tire changing equipment, and on some vehicles there may not be a place to store a tire.
The tire sealant and compressor can be used to temporarily seal punctures up to 6 mm (0.25 in) in the tread area of the tire. It can also be used to inflate an under inflated tire.
If the tire has been separated from the wheel, has damaged sidewalls, or has a large puncture, the tire is too severely damaged for the tire sealant and compressor kit to be effective. See Roadside Service (U.S. and Canada) or Roadside Service (Mexico).
Read and follow all of the tire sealant and compressor kit instructions.
