3. Connect between compressor and the
vehicle power outlet using the cable
and connectors.
4. Adjust the tyre inflation pressure to
the recommended tyre inflation.
With the ignition switched on, proceed
as follows.
僅 To increase the inflation pressure:
Switch on the compressor. To
check the current inflation pressure
setting, briefly switch off the com-
pressor.
僅 To reduce the inflation pressure:
Turn the valve on the compressor.
WARNING
Do not let the compressor run for more
than 10 minutes, otherwise the device
will overheat and may be damaged.
CAUTION
If the inflation pressure is not main-
tained, drive the vehicle a second time,
refer to "Distributing the sealant" on
page 7-25. Then repeat steps 1 to 4.
Use of the TMK may be ineffectual for
tyre damage larger than approximately
4 mm (0.16 of an inch).
We recommend that you contact a pro-
fessional workshop if the tyre cannot be
made roadworthy with the Tyre Mobility
Kit.

If you have a flat tyre (with tyre mobility kit)
WARNING
The tyre inflation pressure must be at
least 180 kPa (26 psi). If it is not, do not
continue driving. Call for road side ser-
vice or towing.
NOTICE
When reinstalling the repaired or
replaced tyre and wheel on the vehicle,
tighten the wheel lug nut to 11~13 kgf・m
(79~94 lbf・ft).
Notes on the safe use of the Tyre
Mobility Kit
僅 Park your car at the side of the road
so that you can work with the TMK
away from moving traffic. Place your
warning triangle in a prominent place
to make passing vehicles aware of
your location.
僅 To be sure your vehicle will not move,
even when you're on fairly level
ground, always set your parking
brake.
僅 Only use the TMK for sealing/inflation
passenger car tyres. Do not use on
motorcycles, bicycles or any other
type of tyres.
僅 Do not remove any foreign objects-
such as nails or screws -that have
penetrated the tyre.
僅 Before using the TMK, read the pre-
cautionary advice printed on the seal-
ant bottle!
僅 Provided the car is outdoors, leave the
engine running. Otherwise operating
the compressor may eventually drain
the car battery.
僅 Never leave the TMK unattended
whilst it is being used.
