{CAUTION: 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 the proper place. 18. Stop at a safe location and check the tire pressure, refer to Steps 1 through 8 under "Using the Air Compressor without Sealant" next in this section. If the tire pressure has not dropped more than 10 psi (68 kPa) from the recommended inflation pressure, you can inflate the tire back up to the recommended inflation pressure. 19. If the tire pressure has fallen more then 10 psi (68 kPa), below the recommended inflation pressure, stop driving the vehicle. The tire is too damaged for the sealant to work. See Roadside Assistance Program on page 7-7. 20. Wipe off any sealant from the wheel, tire, and vehicle with a rag. 21. Dispose of the sealant canister at a local dealer/retailer or in accordance with local state codes and practices. After using the sealant canister, replace it with a new canister from your dealer/retailer. 22. After temporarily sealing a tire with the tire sealant and compressor kit, take your vehicle to your dealer/retailer to have the tire inspected and repaired. 16. Return the equipment to the proper storage location in the trunk of your vehicle. You may need to loosen the retention strap to wrap it around the sealant and compressor kit and foam container. To do this, pull apart the strap and loosen the strap at the quick release buckle. Then snap the buckle together, pull the strap tight, and secure the loose end of the strap by mating the ends. 17. Immediately drive the vehicle 5 miles (8 km) to distribute the sealant evenly in the tire. 5-81

pressure, you can inflate the tire back up to
the recommended inflation pressure.
19. If the tire pressure has fallen more then
10 psi (68 kPa), below the recommended inflation
pressure, stop driving the vehicle. The tire is
