4. Press and release the switch to turn the air

inflator on. The indicator light will remain on
when the inflator is running.

The system has an internal clock to prevent
the system from overheating. The system
will allow about five minutes of running time,
then the compressor will stop. The indicator
light will then begin to flash. When the indicator
is off, the inflator can be started again by
pressing the switch. If the compressor is still
hot, it may only run for a short time before
shutting off again.

5. Press and release the switch to turn the

inflator off.

Place the inflator kit tools in the pouch and store it
in its proper location. Remove the inflator hose
from the outlet during loading and unloading. Load
leveling will not function with the inflator hose
attached to the inflator outlet. See Electronically
Controlled Air Suspension System
on page 337 for
more information.

To reinstall the cover, line up the tabs at the back
of the cover, put it in place and latch the tabs.

If the indicator light on the accessory inflator
flashes continuously, it could indicate that there is
a malfunction in the air suspension system.

If a Tire Goes Flat

It is unusual for a tire to blowout while you are
driving, especially if you maintain your vehicle’s
tires properly. If air goes out of a tire, it is
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.
