Hose (6) to the valve stem. Check that the
Mode Select Knob (5) is in the Sealant Mode
position and not Air Mode. Push the Power
Button (4) to turn On the Tire Service Kit.
2. Connect the Power Plug (8) to a different
12 Volt power outlet in your vehicle or an-
other vehicle, if available. Make sure the
engine is running before turning ON the Tire
Service Kit.
3. The Sealant Bottle (1) may be empty due to
previous use. Call for assistance.
NOTE:
If the Mode Select Knob (5) is on Air Mode and
the pump is operating, air will dispense from the
Air Pump Hose (7) only, not the Sealant Hose
(6).
If the sealant (white fluid) does flow through
the Sealant Hose (6):
1. Continue to operate the pump until sealant is
no longer flowing through the hose (typically
takes 30 - 70 seconds). As the sealant flows
through the Sealant Hose (6), the Pressure
Gauge (3) can read as high as 70 psi
(4.8 Bar). The Pressure Gauge (3) will de-
crease quickly from approximately 70 psi
(4.8 Bar) to the actual tire pressure when the
Sealant Bottle (1) is empty.
2. The pump will start to inject air into the tire
immediately after the Sealant Bottle (1) is
234
empty. Continue to operate the pump and
inflate the tire to the pressure indicated on
the tire pressure label on the driver-side latch
pillar (recommended pressure). Check the
tire pressure by looking at the Pressure
Gauge (3).
If the tire does not inflate to at least 26 psi
(1.8 Bar) pressure within 15 minutes:
• The tire is too badly damaged. Do not attempt
to drive the vehicle further. Call for assis-
tance.
NOTE:
If the tire becomes overinflated, push the Defla-
tion Button to reduce the tire pressure to the
recommended inflation pressure before continu-
ing.
If the tire inflates to the recommended pres-
sure or is at least 26 psi (1.8 Bar) pressure
within 15 minutes:
1. Push the Power Button (4) to turn off the Tire
Service Kit.
2. Remove the Speed Limit sticker from the top
of the Sealant Bottle (1) and place the sticker
on the instrument panel.
3. Immediately disconnect the Sealant Hose (6)
from the valve stem, reinstall the cap on the
fitting at the end of the hose, and place the
Tire Service Kit in the vehicle storage loca-
tion. Quickly proceed to (D) "Drive Vehicle."
CAUTION!
• The metal end fitting from Power Plug (8)
may get hot after use, so it should be
handled carefully.
• Failure to reinstall the cap on the fitting at
the end of the Sealant Hose (6) can result
in sealant contacting your skin, clothing,
and the vehicle's interior. It can also result
in sealant contacting internal Tire Service
Kit components which may cause perma-
nent damage to the kit.
(D) Drive Vehicle:
Immediately after injecting sealant and inflating
the tire, drive the vehicle 5 miles (8 km) or
10 minutes to ensure distribution of the Tire
Service Kit Sealant within the tire. Do not ex-
ceed 55 mph (90 km/h).
WARNING!
Tire Service Kit is not a permanent flat tire
repair. Have the tire inspected and repaired
or replaced after using Tire Service Kit. Do
not exceed 55 mph (90 km/h) until the tire is
repaired or replaced. Failure to follow this
warning can result in injuries that are serious
or fatal to you, your passengers, and others
around you.
