Vehicle Care

10-83

See If a Tire Goes Flat on
page 10‑75
for other important
safety warnings.

1. Remove the tire sealant and

compressor kit from its storage
location. See Storing the Tire
Sealant and Compressor Kit on
page 10‑84
.

2. Unwrap the air only hose (E)

and the power plug (G).

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 tire valve stem cap

from the flat tire by turning it
counterclockwise.

5. Attach the air only hose (E) onto

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

6. Plug the power plug (G) into the

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

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 (B)

counterclockwise to the Air Only
position.

9. Press the on/off (A) button to

turn the compressor on.

The compressor will inflate the
tire with air only.

10. Inflate the tire to the

recommended inflation
pressure using the pressure
gauge (D). The recommended
inflation pressure can be
found on the Tire and Loading
Information label. See Tire
Pressure on page 10‑58
.

The pressure gauge (D) may
read higher than the actual tire
pressure while the compressor
is on. Turn the compressor
off to get an accurate reading.
The compressor may be turned
on/off until the correct pressure
is reached. If the tire is inflated
higher than the recommended
pressure, press the pressure
relief button (C), if equipped,
until the proper pressure
reading is reached. This option
is only functional when using
the air only hose (E).
