If the accessory inflator system does not turn on or the
light does not come on, the fuse may be blown or
installed incorrectly. See Fuses and Circuit Breakers on
page 5-113
or see your dealer for service.

Your accessory inflator will automatically shut off after
about 10 minutes. The light in the switch will blink. After
about one minute you can use the system again. Press
the inflator switch and the indicator light will come on.

Notice: If you run the accessory inflator longer than
30 minutes at a time, you could damage the
inflator. The repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. Run the inflator for short periods of
time only.

After running the accessory inflator for 30 minutes, wait
at least 10 minutes before restarting the accessory
inflator.

To turn off the inflator, do the following:

1. Press the switch and detach the hose, first from the

inflated object, then from the outlet.

2. Put the protective cap back on.

3. Place the inflator kit tools in the pouch, and store in

the glove box.

To put the cover back on, line up the tabs at the back of
the cover and put it in place. Push down the tab to
secure the cover.

If a Tire Goes Flat

It’s unusual for a tire to “blowout” while you’re driving,
especially if you maintain your tires properly. If air goes
out of a tire, it’s much more likely to leak out slowly.
But if you should ever have a “blowout,” here are a few
tips about what to expect and what to do:

If a front tire fails, the flat tire will create a drag that
pulls the vehicle toward that side. Take your foot off the
accelerator pedal and grip the steering wheel firmly.
Steer to maintain lane position, and then gently brake to
a stop well out of the traffic lane.
