a tire with air only and not sealant:
If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire
and wheel damage by driving slowly
to a level place. Turn on the hazard
warning flashers. See Hazard
Warning Flashers on page 6‑4.
See If a Tire Goes Flat on
page 10‑70 for other important
safety warnings.

location. See Storing the Tire

2. Unwrap the air only hose (5) and
the power plug (7).

from the flat tire by turning it
counterclockwise.

the tire valve stem by turning it
clockwise until it is tight.

lighter, use the cigarette lighter.
