NOTE:
When inserting the air compressor plug into

make sure that the air compressor switch is
off. When turning the air compressor on/off,
use the air compressor switch. Before
checking the tire inflation pressure using the
tire pressure gauge, turn the air compressor
switch off.
CAUTION!
If the tire inflation pressure does not
increase, repair of the tire is not
possible. If the tire does not reach the
specified tire inflation pressure within
10 minutes, it may have received exten-
sive damage. In this case, the repair
using the tire service kit was not
