Second stage: Checking tire pressure

1. Stop driving after approximately two miles. Refer to the Tips for use
of the tire inflation kit
for safe operation of the tire inflation kit. Then
check the air pressure of the damaged tire as follows:
• Ensure the compressor is turned off by pressing the “O” side of the

orange button.

• Remove the hose and the cable with the electrical plug from the kit’s

storage compartment.

• Remove the valve cap from the sealed tire, then screw the hose firmly

onto the tire’s air valve.

• Start the engine (only if the vehicle is outdoors or in a

well-ventilated area) to prevent the vehicle’s battery from draining.

• Insert the electrical plug into the vehicle’s power point.
• Read the air pressure gauge on the inflation kit.
2. If the air pressure reads 19 psi or higher, switch the air compressor on
by pressing the “I” side of the orange button and adjust the air pressure
to the recommended pressure. This pressure can be found on a label
affixed to the B-Pillar. If the air pressure is higher than the label states,
reduce the excess pressure by pressing down on the pressure release
valve (8).
