someone. Store the tire sealant
and compressor kit in its
original location.
16. Return the equipment to its
original storage location in
the trunk.
17. Immediately drive the vehicle
5 miles (8 km) to distribute the

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
severely damaged and the tire
sealant and compressor
cannot seal the tire. See
Roadside Assistance Program

If the tire pressure has not
dropped more than 10 psi
(68 kPa) from the recommended
inflation pressure, inflate the tire
back up to the recommended
inflation pressure.
