8. Inflate the tire to the pressure listed on

the tire label located on the driver door
or the door jamb area. The initial air
pressure gauge reading may indicate
a value higher than the label pressure
while you pump the sealing compound
into the tire. This is normal and should
be no reason for concern. The pressure
gauge reading will indicate the tire
inflation pressure after about 30
seconds of operation. You should
check the final tire pressure with the
compressor turned OFF in order to get
an accurate pressure reading.

9. When the tire reaches the

recommended tire pressure, switch off
the kit by pressing the on button;
disconnect the kit from the tire valve
and the power point. Re-install the
valve cap on the tire valve, place the
tube cap on the metal connector and
return the kit to the stowage area.

10.

Immediately and cautiously, drive the
vehicle 4 miles (6 kilometers) to
distribute the sealant evenly inside
the tire. Do not exceed 50 mph (80
km/h).

11.

After 4 miles (6 kilometers), stop and
check the tire pressure. See Second
stage: Checking tire pressure.

Note: If you experience any unusual
vibration, ride disturbance or noise while
driving, reduce your speed until you can
safely pull off to the side of the road to call
for roadside assistance.

Note: Do not proceed to the second stage
of this operation.

Second Stage: Checking Tire
Pressure

WARNINGS

If you are proceeding from the First
stage: Re–inflating the tire with
sealing compound and air section

and have injected sealant in the tire and
the pressure is below 20 psi (1.4 bar), stop
and call roadside assistance. If tire
pressure is above 20 psi (1.4 bar), continue
to the next step.

The power plug may get hot after use
and you should handle it carefully
while unplugging.

Check the air pressure of your tires as
follows:

1.

Remove the valve cap from the tire
valve.
