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.

If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually 
to reduce speed. Then stop in a safe place.

1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level, and 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.

Temporarily 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 mm).

•

The tire side wall is damaged or the puncture is 
outside the contact area.

•

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.

Injecting Sealant and Air

1

Injecting Sealant and Air

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

WARNING

Tire sealant contains substances that are 
harmful and can be fatal if swallowed.

If accidentally swallowed, do not induce 
vomiting. Drink plenty of water and get 
medical attention immediately.

For skin or eye contact, flush with cool 
water and get medical attention if 
necessary.

Injecting Sealant and Air

NOTICE

Do not operate the temporary tire repair kit 
compressor for more than 15 minutes. The 
compressor can overheat and become permanently 
damaged.

There are two accessory power sockets:

•

In the console compartment

•

In the center pocket

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.

WARNING

Running the engine with the vehicle in an 
enclosed or even partly enclosed area can 
cause a rapid build-up of toxic carbon 
monoxide.

Breathing this colorless, odorless gas can 
cause unconsciousness and even death. 
Only run the engine to power the air 
compressor with the vehicle outdoors.

The compressor starts injecting sealant 
and air into the tire.

u

When the sealant injection is complete, 
continue to add air.

8. After the air pressure reaches to specified 

pressure, turn off the kit.

u

To check the pressure, occasionally turn 
off the compressor and read the gauge.

u

Refer to the driver’s doorjamb label for 
the specified pressure.

9. Unplug the power plug from the accessory 

power socket.

10. Unscrew the sealant/air hose from the tire 

valve stem. Reinstall the valve cap.

11. Press the pressure relief button until the 

gauge returns to 0 psi (0 kPa).

12. Apply the repair notification label to the 

flat surface of the wheel.

u

The wheel surface must be clean to 
ensure the label adheres properly.

Injecting Sealant and Air

If the required air pressure is not reached within 10 
minutes, the tire may be too severely damaged for 
the kit to provide the necessary seal, and your vehicle 
will need to be towed.

See a dealer for a replacement sealant bottle and 
proper disposal of an empty bottle.
