Tire sealing system* – inflating tires
The tire sealing system can be used to inflate
the tires.
To do so:
1. Park the car in a safe place.
2. The compressor should be switched off.
Ensure that the on/off switch is in position
0 (the 0 side of the switch should be
pressed down).
3. Take out the electrical wire and hose.
4. Remove the valve cap from the tire's inflation
valve and screw the hose connector onto the
valve as tightly as possible by hand.
5. Connect the electrical wire to the nearest
12-volt socket in the vehicle.
6. Start the vehicle's engine.
WARNING
•
The vehicle's engine should be running
when the tire sealing system is used to
avoid battery drain. Therefore, be sure the
vehicle is parked in a well ventilated place,
or outdoors, before using the system. The
parking brake should be securely applied
and the gear selector should be in the P
(park) position.
•
Children should never be left unattended
in the vehicle when the engine is running.
7. Check the tire's inflation pressure on the
gauge. Switch off the compressor briefly to
get a clear reading from the pressure gauge.
8. Refer to the tire inflation table in this chapter
for the correct inflation pressure. If the tire
needs to be inflated, start the tire sealing
system's compressor (press the on/off
switch to position I). If necessary, release air
from the tire by turning the air release knob
counterclockwise.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION
CAUTION
The compressor should not be used for more
than 10 minutes at a time to avoid overheat-
ing.
9. Turn off the compressor (press the on/off
switch to position 0) when the correct infla-
tion pressure has been reached.
10. Unscrew the hose from the tire's inflation
valve and reinstall the valve cap.
CAUTION
•
After inflating the tires, always reinstall the
valve cap to help avoid damage to the
valve from dirt, gravel, etc.
•
Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps
could corrode and become difficult to
remove.
11. Disconnect the electrical wire from the
12-volt socket.
