stem cap.

and air compressor accessory
plug (B) in their original
locations.
15. If the flat tire was able to be
inflated to the recommended
inflation pressure, remove
the maximum speed label from
the sealant canister and
place it in a highly visible
location.
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 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 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
sealant evenly in the tire.
18. Stop at a safe location and
check the tire pressure, refer
to Steps 1 through 9 under
“Using the Tire Sealant
and Compressor Kit without
Sealant to Inflate an
Underinflated Tire” later 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
severely damaged and the tire
sealant and compressor
cannot seal the tire. See
Roadside Assistance Program
on page 12-6 if you need
assistance.
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.
