Vehicle Care

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 5‑6.

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 10‑53
.

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).

11. Press the on/off button (A)

to turn the tire sealant and
compressor kit off.

Be careful while handling the
tire sealant and compressor kit
as it could be warm after
usage.

the accessory power outlet in
the vehicle.
