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/off button; 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 km)
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 km), stop and check the tire pressure. See Second
stage: Checking tire pressure.

Second Stage: Checking Tire Pressure

WARNING: If you are proceeding from the First stage:
Reinflating the tire with sealing compound and air
section

and have injected sealant in the tire and the pressure is below 20 psi
(1.4 bar), stop and call roadside assistance. If tire pressure is above
20 psi (1.4 bar), continue to the next step.

WARNING: The power plug may get hot after use and should be
handled carefully while unplugging.
