9. Power Plug
10.Air Only Hose
If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire
and wheel damage by driving slowly
to a level place. Turn on the hazard
warning flashers. See Hazard Warning
Flashers 0 134.
See If a Tire Goes Flat 0 360 for other
important safety warnings.
1. Remove the compressor from its
storage location. See Storing the
Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit
0 367.
2. Remove the air only hose (10) and
the power plug (9) from the bottom
of the compressor.
3. Place the compressor on the
ground near the flat tire.
Make sure the tire valve stem is
positioned close to the ground so
the hose will reach it.
4. Remove the valve stem cap from
the flat tire by turning it
counterclockwise.
5. Attach the air only hose (10) to the
tire valve stem by turning it
clockwise until tight.
6. Plug the power plug (9) into the
accessory power outlet in the
vehicle. Unplug all items from
other accessory power outlets. See
Power Outlets 0 90.
Do not pinch the power plug cord
in the door or window.
7. Start the vehicle. The vehicle must
be running while using the air
compressor.
8. Press the on/off button (5) to turn
the tire sealant and compressor
kit on.
The compressor will inflate the tire
with air only.
9. Inflate the tire to the
recommended inflation pressure
using the pressure gauge (8). The
recommended inflation pressure
can be found on the Tire and
Loading Information label. See Tire
Pressure 0 348.
The pressure gauge (8) may read
higher than the actual tire pressure
while the compressor is on. Turn
the compressor off to get an
accurate pressure reading. The
compressor may be turned on/off
until the correct pressure is
reached.
Caution
If the recommended pressure
cannot be reached after
approximately 25 minutes, the
vehicle should not be driven farther.
The tire is too severely damaged
and the tire sealant and compressor
kit cannot inflate the tire. Remove
the power plug from the accessory
power outlet and unscrew the
inflating hose from the tire valve.
