16. If the flat tire was able
to inflate to the
recommended inflation
pressure, remove the
maximum speed label
from the sealant
canister and place in a
highly visible location
such as the inside of
the upper left corner of
the windshield or to the
face of the radio/clock.
The maximum speed label reminds you to drive
cautiously and not to exceed 55 mph (90 km/h) until
you have the damaged tire inspected and repaired.
{
CAUTION:
Storing the tire inflator 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 inflator kit in the
proper place.
17. 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
inflator 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.
18. Immediately drive the vehicle 5 miles (8 km) to
distribute the sealant evenly in the tire. 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 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 7-6
.
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. Dispose of the sealant canister at a local GM dealer
or in accordance with your local state codes and
practices. After using the sealant canister, replace it
with a new canister from a GM dealer.
20. After temporarily repairing a tire with the emergency
flat tire repair kit, take your vehicle to an authorized
GM dealer to have the tire inspected and repaired.
