If a Tire Goes Flat
Temporarily Repairing a Flat Tire
If the tire has a large cut or is otherwise severely damaged, you will need to have the
vehicle towed. If the tire only has a small puncture, from a nail for instance, you can
use the temporary tire repair kit so that you can drive to the nearest service station
for a more permanent repair.
1Temporarily Repairing a Flat Tire
The kit should not be used in the following situations.
Instead, contact a dealer or roadside assistance to
have the vehicle towed.
• The tire sealant has expired.
• More than one tire is punctured.
• The puncture or cut is larger than 3/16 inch (4.8
mm).
If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually
to reduce speed. Then, stop in a safe place.
• The tire side wall is damaged or the puncture is
outside the contact area.
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level, non-slippery surface and apply the parking brake.
2. Put the transmission into (P.
3. Turn on the hazard warning lights and set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF
(LOCK).
When the puncture is: Kit Use
Smaller than 3/16 inch

(4.8 mm)
Contact
Area
Larger than 3/16 inch
No
(4.8 mm)
• Damage has been caused by driving with the tire
extremely under inflated.
• The tire bead is no longer seated.
• The rim is damaged.
Do not remove a nail or screw that punctured the
tire. If you remove it from the tire, you may not be
able to repair the puncture using the kit.

CAUTION
Valve Cap
Tire sealant contains substances that are
harmful if inhaled, ingested or if contact is
made with the eyes or skin.
Always use in a well-ventilated area and
use gloves and safety glasses for protection;
do not ingest.
Tire Valve Stem
For skin or eye contact, flush with cool
water; if ingested, rinse mouth with water.
In all cases, seek medical attention if
necessary.
2. Unwind the sealant/air hose from the kit.
Sealant/
Air Hose
In cold temperatures, the sealant may not flow easily.
In this situation, warm it up for five minutes before
using.
The sealant can permanently stain clothing and other
materials. Be careful during handling and wipe away
any spills immediately.
3. Attach the sealant/air hose onto the tire
valve stem. Screw it clockwise until it is
tight.

Until the sealant injection is complete, the pressure
shown on the pressure gauge will appear higher than
actual. After the sealant injection is complete the
pressure will drop and then begin to rise again as the
tire is inflated with air. This is normal. To accurately
measure the air pressure using the gauge, turn the air
compressor off only after the sealant injection is
complete.
