To use the tire sealant and inflator kit, first park the vehicle on a flat surface and turn off the engine. Locate the kit in the trunk area. Attach the sealant hose to the tire valve and ensure it is secure. Turn the kit on and let the sealant flow into the tire. Once complete, use the inflator to fill the tire to the recommended pressure.
If the tire sealant is ineffective due to a large puncture or sidewall damage, it's important to call for roadside assistance or use a spare tire if available. Avoid driving on a severely damaged tire.
The tire sealant and inflator kit is designed for single use. After using the kit, it is recommended to replace the sealant canister to ensure readiness for future emergencies.
To check if the inflator is working, connect it to a power source and turn it on briefly. Listen for the motor sound indicating it is operational. Do not attach it to a tire during this test.
Regularly check the expiration date on the sealant canister and replace it as needed. Ensure the kit is stored properly and inspect the hoses and connections for any signs of wear or damage.
Using sealant can temporarily affect the TPMS by coating the sensors. After using sealant, have the tire and sensor professionally cleaned to restore accurate pressure readings.
It is safe to drive on a tire after using the sealant for a short distance to reach a repair shop. However, the sealant is a temporary fix, and the tire should be inspected and repaired by a professional as soon as possible.
The tire sealant can repair small punctures, typically up to 1/4 inch, located on the tread surface. It is not suitable for sidewall punctures or large damages.
Yes, the inflator can be used independently to adjust tire pressure. Simply connect it to the tire valve, turn it on, and inflate the tire to the desired pressure level.
If the inflator does not power on, check the power source and connections. Ensure the inflator is properly plugged into the vehicle's power outlet. If it still does not work, inspect for blown fuses or contact a professional for assistance.
