Vehicle Care
If the vehicle has an
accessory power outlet, do
not use the cigarette
lighter.
If the vehicle only has a
cigarette lighter, use the
cigarette lighter.
Do not pinch the power
plug cord in the door or
window.
9. Start the vehicle. The
vehicle must be running
while using the air
compressor.
10. Press the on/off button (5)
to turn the tire sealant and
compressor kit on.
The compressor will inject
sealant and air into
the tire.
The pressure gauge (8) will
initially show a high
pressure while the
compressor pushes the
sealant into the tire. Once
the sealant is completely
dispersed into the tire, the
pressure will quickly drop
and start to rise again as
the tire inflates with
air only.
11. 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 0 422.
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
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
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. See Roadside
Assistance Program 0 487.
12. Press the on/off button (5)
to turn the tire sealant and
compressor kit off.
The tire is not sealed and
will continue to leak air
until the vehicle is driven
and the sealant is
distributed in the tire.
Therefore, Steps 13
21 must be done
immediately after Step 12.
Be careful while handling
the tire sealant and
compressor kit as it could
be warm after usage.
