Service Tire Kit warning message

[exvette]

How do I get rid of the "Service Tire Kit" warning message? Dealer said he would do it at last oil change but didn't. Hate to schedule an appointment just for this.

Its easy, and you can do it yourself. Go to the cluster settings, and under vehicle, you should find the tire mobility kit. Options range from 1-4 yrs. Change it to a different year. I usually set it to 4 yrs, so what I do is moved it to 1 year, saved it, and then go back and changed it back to 4 years.

After you reset the warning in the dash, go to your trunk and check the expiration date on the juice box. You can get a refill bottle or a whole new kit. That stuff dries up.

Or you can just toss the goop (which is likely going to f*** up the inside of your tire and TPMS), reset the display, and if you have a leak use the pump a time or two to get you where you can get it fixed. Any leak fast enough to go dead in under 20 miles or so isn't going to be stopped by sealant.

FWIW, I just got a spare that will fit over the PP brakes and dropped it in the well.

IDK man, fix a flat in the can has saved me from a lot of long lonely walks down the highway when I was a kid.

I've never met a tire shop guy that didn't hate that stuff.
I'm fortunate that every car I've owned has had a spare of some sort.
We keep AAA which is a good option if you don't have a spare and many other unexpected automotive complications.

What saved you was the inflation, not the goop. You can use the pump without the sealant.

Nope. Plan B?
