Injecting Sealant and Air

NOTICE

Do not operate the temporary tire repair kit
compressor for more than 15 minutes. The accessory
power socket and compressor can overheat and
become permanently damaged.

There is an accessory power socket in the front
console panel.

Until the sealant injection is complete, the pressure
shown on the pressure gauge will appear higher than
actual. After the sealant injection is complete the
pressure will drop and then begin to rise again as the
tire is inflated with air. This is normal. To accurately
measure the air pressure using the gauge, turn the air
compressor off only after the sealant injection is
complete.

See the driver’s doorjamb or the specifications in this
manual for the required air pressure.
