3. Uncoil the power plug and insert the plug into the vehicles 12 Volt power outlet.
4. Check the pressure in the tire by reading the Pressure Gauge (3).
• If tire pressure is less than 19 psi (1.3 Bar), the tire is too badly damaged. Do not at-

1. Press the Power Button (4) to turn on TIREFIT and inflate the tire to the pressure indi-
