6-8 In case of emergency
If the tire pressure does not increase to 26
psi (180 kPa) within 10 minutes, the tire
may be seriously damaged and the tire
cannot be repaired with this tire repair
kit. Contact a NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer.
7. When the tire pressure is at the specified
amount, turn the air compressor off. If the
tire cannot be inflated to the specified
amount, the air compressor can be turned
off at the minimum of 26 psi (180 kPa).
Remove the power plug from the power
outlet and quickly remove the hose from the
tire valve. Attach the protective cap and
valve cap. Properly stow the emergency tire
puncture repair kit in the cargo area.
CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury when
stowing the emergency tire puncture
repair kit:
. Keep the sealant bottle screwed
into the compressor. Failure to do
so can cause the sealant to spray
into the air and get into your eyes or
on the skin.
8. Immediately drive the vehicle for 10 minutes
or 2 miles (3 km) at a speed below 50 MPH
(80 km/h).
9. After driving, make sure that the air com-
pressor switch is in the OFF position, then
screw the hose securely onto the tire valve.
Check the tire pressure with the pressure
gauge. Temporary repair is completed if the
tire pressure does not drop.
Make sure the pressure is adjusted to the
pressure that is specified on the Tire and
Loading Information label before driving.
10. If the tire pressure drops, repeat the steps
from 5 to 9. If the pressure drops again or
under 19 psi (130 kPa), the tire cannot be
repaired with this tire repair kit. Contact
a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
The sealant bottle and hose can not be
reused to repair another punctured tire.
Contact a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer to
purchase replacements.
After repairing tire:
See a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for tire
repair/replacement as soon as possible.
WARNING
. After using Emergency Tire Sealant
to repair a minor tire puncture, do
not drive the vehicle at speeds
faster than 50 MPH (80 km/h).
. Immediately after using Emergency
Tire Sealant to repair a minor tire
puncture, take your vehicle to a
NISSAN certified LEAF dealer to
inspect, and repair or replace the
tire. The Emergency Tire Sealant
cannot permanently seal a punctu-
red tire. Continuing operation of the
vehicle without a permanent tire
repair can lead to a crash.
. Do not inject any tire liquid or
aerosol tire sealant into the tires,
as this may cause a malfunction of
the tire pressure sensors.
. If you used the Emergency Tire
Sealant to repair a minor tire punc-
ture, your NISSAN certified LEAF
dealer will also need to replace the
TPMS sensor in addition to repair-
ing or replacing the tire .
