8. Inflate the tire to the pressure
listed on the Tire Label located on
the driver’s door or the door jamb
area.

Note: When the sealing compound is first added into the tire, the air
pressure gauge reading on the compressor unit may indicate a higher
value; this is normal and should be no reason for concern. The pressure
will drop after about 30 seconds of operation. The tire pressure has to be
checked with the compressor in the OFF position to get the correct tire
pressure reading.

9. When the recommended tire pressure is reached, turn off the kit by
pressing the on and off button, then disconnect the kit from the tire
valve and the power point. Re-install the valve cap on the tire valve,
place the tube cap on the metal connector, and return the kit to the
stowage area.

10. Note: Immediately and cautiously, drive the vehicle 4 miles
(6 kilometers) to distribute the sealant evenly inside the tire. Do not
exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).

Note: If you experience any unusual vibration, ride disturbance or
noise while driving, reduce your speed until you can safely pull off to
the side of the road to call for roadside assistance. Note: Do not
proceed to the second stage of this operation.

11. After 4 miles (6 kilometers), stop and check the tire pressure. See
Second Stage: Checking Tire Pressure.
