Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Tire Sealant and Inflator Kit 2017 Sedan Specification

The Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Tire Sealant and Inflator Kit for the 2017 Sedan is an essential roadside assistance tool designed to provide a swift and reliable solution for temporary tire repairs. This compact and user-friendly kit includes a tire sealant and an inflator, engineered to address punctures and maintain tire pressure until a permanent repair can be performed.

The tire sealant is a proprietary formula designed to effectively seal punctures up to a specified diameter, usually around 4-6mm, within the tire tread area. It works by being injected into the tire through the valve stem, where it then spreads to cover the puncture from the inside, forming a temporary seal. The sealant is compatible with most types of tires used on the Acura RLX Sport Hybrid, ensuring versatility and ease of use.

The inflator is an electric air compressor that connects to the vehicle’s 12V power outlet, providing a convenient and rapid means of re-inflating the tire to the recommended pressure levels. The inflator features an easy-to-read pressure gauge for accurate monitoring and adjustment, ensuring the tire is inflated to the optimal PSI for safe driving.

This kit is designed to be stored compactly within the vehicle, typically in the trunk or under a rear seat compartment, ensuring it is readily accessible during emergencies. It serves as a temporary fix, allowing drivers to safely reach a service station for a more permanent repair or replacement. The Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Tire Sealant and Inflator Kit is a vital accessory for enhancing vehicle safety and reducing the inconvenience of unexpected tire issues.

What should I do if the tire sealant fails to seal the puncture?

If the tire sealant fails to seal the puncture, it may be too large or located on the sidewall. In this case, it is recommended to contact roadside assistance or replace the tire with the spare if available.

How often should I check the tire pressure after using the sealant kit?

After using the sealant kit, check the tire pressure within the first 10 miles to ensure it remains stable. It is advisable to monitor it regularly until the tire is professionally repaired or replaced.

Is the tire sealant in the kit safe for TPMS sensors?

Yes, the tire sealant provided in the Acura RLX Sport Hybrid kit is designed to be compatible with TPMS sensors. However, it is recommended to have the sensors checked when the tire is professionally repaired.

Can I use the tire inflator kit without the sealant?

Yes, the inflator kit can be used to adjust tire pressure without dispensing the sealant. Simply attach the hose to the tire valve and operate the compressor to inflate the tire.

How should I store the tire sealant and inflator kit?

Store the tire sealant and inflator kit in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the kit is securely fastened in the vehicle to prevent damage or leakage.

What maintenance does the tire sealant and inflator kit require?

Periodically check the kit for expiration dates on the sealant and inspect the compressor and hoses for any signs of damage. Replace components as necessary to ensure the kit's reliability.

Can I reuse the tire sealant and inflator kit after it has been used once?

The compressor and hoses can be reused, but the sealant cartridge is typically single-use and should be replaced after use. Ensure a new sealant cartridge is available for future emergencies.

What is the maximum speed I should drive after using the tire sealant?

After using the tire sealant, it is recommended to drive at a reduced speed, typically not exceeding 50 mph, until the tire is professionally repaired or replaced.

Can the tire sealant and inflator kit be used in cold weather?

Yes, the tire sealant and inflator kit can be used in cold weather. However, if the sealant is too viscous due to low temperatures, warm it up slightly in your hands or vehicle before use.
