Vehicle Care

When using the tire sealant and
compressor kit during cold
temperatures, warm the kit in a
heated environment for 5 minutes.
This will help to inflate the tire
faster.

Always do a safety check first. See
If a Tire Goes Flat on page 10‑58.
Do not remove any objects that
have penetrated the tire.

1. Remove the tire sealant and

compressor kit from its storage
location. See Storing the Tire
Sealant and Compressor Kit on
page 10‑67
.

2. Unwrap the sealant/air hose (F)

and the power plug (H).

3. Place the kit on the ground.

Make sure the tire valve stem is
positioned close to the ground
so the hose will reach it.

4. Remove the valve stem cap

from the flat tire by turning it
counterclockwise.

5. Attach the sealant/air hose (F)

onto the tire valve stem. Turn it
clockwise until it is tight.

6. Plug the power plug (H) into

the accessory power outlet in
the vehicle. Unplug all items
from other accessory power
outlets. See Power Outlets on
page 5‑10
.

If the vehicle has an accessory
power outlet, do not use the
cigarette lighter.

If the vehicle only has a cigarette
lighter, use the cigarette lighter.

Do not pinch the power plug
cord in the door or window.

7. Start the vehicle. The vehicle

must be running while using the
air compressor.

8. Turn the selector switch (A)

counterclockwise to the
Sealant + Air position.

9. Press the on/off (B) button

to turn the tire sealant and
compressor kit on.

The compressor will inject
sealant and air into the tire.

The pressure gauge (C) will
initially show a high pressure
while the compressor pushes the
sealant into the tire. Once the
sealant is completely dispersed
into the tire, the pressure will
quickly drop and start to rise
again as the tire inflates with
air only.
