Nissan LEAF 2023 Owners Manual
10.3.2.4. Repairing flat tyre (Models with emergency tyre puncture repair kit — where fitted)
Immediately after using the Emergency Tyre Sealant to repair a minor tyre puncture, take your vehicle to a knowledgeable LEAF repairer such as a NISSAN certified electric vehicle dealer to inspect, and repair or replace the tyre. The Emergency Tyre Sealant cannot permanently seal a punctured tyre. Continuing operation of the vehicle without a permanent tyre repair can lead to a crash.
Tyre sealants that do not match the quality of NISSAN Genuine Emergency Tyre Sealant may damage the value stem seal which can cause the tyre to lose air pressure.
The emergency tyre puncture repair kit (Emergency Tyre Sealant) is supplied with the vehicle instead of a spare tyre. It can be used to temporarily repair minor tyre punctures.
After using the repair kit, see a knowledgeable LEAF repairer such as a NISSAN certified electric vehicle dealer as soon as possible for tyre inspection and repair/replacement.
In case of a flat tyre, follow the instructions as described below.
To avoid the emergency tyre puncture kit being damaged during storage or use:
