6. Push the power switch to the “ACC” position.
Then turn the compressor switch to the ON
(−) position and inflate the tire up to the
pressure that is specified on the Tire and
Loading Information label affixed to the driv-
er’s side center pillar if possible, or to the
minimum of 26 psi (180 kPa). Turn the air
compressor off briefly in order to check the
tire pressure with the pressure gauge.
If the tire is inflated to higher than the specified
pressure, lower the tire pressure by releasing
air with the pressure release valve.
NOTE:
The compressor tire pressure gauge may
show a pressure reading of 87 psi (600
kPa) for about 30 seconds while inflat-
ing the tire. The pressure gauge is indi-
cating the pressure inside the sealant
can. When the sealant has been injected
into the tire the pressure gauge will drop
and indicate actual tire pressure.
WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury while
using the emergency tire puncture repair
kit:
• Securely tighten the compressor hose
to the tire valve. Failure to do so can
cause the sealant to spray into the air
and get into your eyes or on the skin.
• Do not stand directly beside the dam-
aged tire while it is being inflated be-
cause of the risk of the rupture. If there
are any cracks or bumps, turn the com-
pressor off immediately.
If the tire pressure does not increase to 26 psi
(180 kPa) within 10 minutes, the tire may
be seriously damaged and the tire cannot
be repaired with this tire repair kit. Con-
tact a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
7. When the tire pressure is at the specified
amount, turn the air compressor off. If the tire
cannot be inflated to the specified amount,
the air compressor can be turned off at the
minimum of 26 psi (180 kPa). Remove the
power plug from the power outlet and quickly
remove the hose from the tire valve. Attach the
protective cap and valve cap. Properly stow
the emergency tire puncture repair kit in the
cargo area.
CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury when
stowing the emergency tire puncture re-
pair kit:
• Keep the sealant bottle screwed into
the compressor. Failure to do so can
cause the sealant to spray into the air
and get into your eyes or on the skin.
8. Immediately drive the vehicle for 10 minutes
or 2 miles (3 km) at a speed below 50 MPH
(80 km/h).
9. After driving, make sure that the air compres-
sor switch is in the OFF position, then screw
the hose securely onto the tire valve. Check
