Pontiac 2005 Grand Prix - Manual (Page 367)

{ CAUTION:
Idling the engine in a closed-in place or with
the climate control system off can cause
deadly carbon monoxide (CO). See “Engine
Exhaust” in the Index.
6. Start the vehicle. See Starting Your Engine on
page 2-23 for more information. The vehicle
must be running while using the air compressor.
{ CAUTION:
Inflating something too much can make it
explode, and you or others could be injured.
Be sure to read the inflator instructions, and
inflate the tire to its recommended pressure.
Do not exceed 36 psi (248 kPa).
Notice: If the air compressor runs for more than
six minutes, at a time, it may overheat. The
excessive heat could damage the compressor.
Always operate the compressor for six minutes or
less when inflating a tire.
7. Move the inflator kit switch to the ON position.
The inflator kit will force sealant and air into the
tire. Sealant may leak from the valve stem while the
sealant is being forced into the tire.
8. Inflate the tire up to the standard operating pressure
using the air pressure gauge on the top of the unit.
Notice: If 26 psi (179 kPa) tire pressure cannot be
reached after six minutes the vehicle should not
be driven further. Damage to the tire is severe and
the sealant will not be effective. Remove the air
compressor plug from the accessory power outlet
and unscrew the inflating hose from the tire
valve. See “Roadside Assistance” in the Index.
9. Turn off the engine.
10. Move the inflator kit switch to the OFF position
once the correct tire pressure is obtained.
11. Unplug the air compressor plug and store in the
housing of the compressor (A).
12. Disconnect the air compressor inflator hose from
the tire valve stem and replace the valve stem cap.
