Temporary Tire Repair
Inflating with Sealant and Air
If you have a Tesla tire repair kit, follow these
steps to temporarily repair a small tire
puncture (less than 1/4” (6 mm)).
1.
Stop Model S in a safe place away from
traffic and ask passengers to wait in a safe
area.
2.
3.
Turn on the hazard warning flashers to
alert other road users.
If possible, position the wheel with the
puncture at the bottom.
7.
8.
Attach the sealant kit’s black air hose to
the sealant valve and press the lever
down to secure it in place.
Ensure the compressor is lying on a level
surface with the pressure gauge facing to
the side as shown in Step 5.
9.
Turn on the compressor.
10.
Inflate the tire to the recommended
pressure.
11.
Turn off the compressor and disconnect
the hose from the tire’s valve. Wipe any
excess sealant from the tire valve and
wheel rim.
12.
Immediately drive for 5 miles (8 km) to
distribute the sealant around the tire. Do
not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).
4.
5.
Detach the power supply connector from
the back of the compressor and plug it
into the 12V power socket located on the
front of center console.
Release the clear plastic hose from the
tire compressor.
13.
14.
15.
Stop and check the tire’s pressure. If
necessary, inflate using the black air hose.
Have the tire repaired or replaced as soon
as possible.
Replace the tire repair sealant canister
(see Replacing the Sealant Canister on
page 117).

Remove the red cap and screw the end of
the hose onto the tire’s valve.
