If the flat tire is due to a slow leak caused by a nail or other similar road hazard, the tire inflator kit may be used to temporarily repair the damaged tire. After temporarily repairing a tire with the tire inflator kit, take your vehicle to an authorized GM dealer to have the tire inspected and repaired. Tire Sealant The kit contains a liquid sealant that when injected into a flat tire, may temporarily repair nail holes or cuts in the tread area of the tire. The tire sealant cannot repair tire damage caused while driving on a flat tire or a tire that has had a "blow out" or a tire that has punctures in the sidewall areas. The tire sealant solution can be used only once on a single tire. Check the tire sealant expiration date on the sealant canister. The sealant may not be as effective beyond the expiration date. If needed, see your GM dealer for a replacement canister. After temporarily repairing a tire using the tire sealant, take your vehicle to an authorized GM dealer to have the tire inspected and repaired.
