Default tire sealant bottle

Where is the tire sealant bottle located in my '06 C4S Cab?
Checked owners manual and search the list without success.

Front boot. You should see a little pull out panel that it hides behind.

Against the firewall. Two twist off plastic screws hold the plastic panel in place....the goop is in there along with the compressor and (I believe) a tow hook.

If it's original goop it may not be goop enough for use.

Look in your owner's manual for the location; there is a picture in the section about the front luggage compartment. The sealant is found behind the same drop down panel as your tool kit, tow hook, and compressor. Are you the original owner? If not, maybe someone removed the sealant. Also this info pertains to US models. In Canada, standard equipment may vary.

Found the sealant bottle...thanks everyone!
As you look in the luggage compartment, it's accessed via a small panel on the wall, just above the floor (lower right corner). Appears to be the original bottle and accessories, still in the sealed bag).

Glad you found it. If you look in the owner's manual index under tools it will reference you to a couple of good diagrams showing where everyhting should be.

For future reference, from the '06 owner's manual. Different location, as you discovered, for the AWD models. Glad you found it....

Thanks!
Strangely, my manual has those illustrations, just no mention (or pic) of tire sealant!
Appreciate the copies!
