Vehicle Care

7. Start the vehicle. The vehicle

must be running while using the
air compressor.

8. Turn the selector switch (A)

counterclockwise to the
Sealant + Air position.

9. Press the on/off button (B)

to turn the tire sealant and
compressor kit on.

The compressor will inject
sealant and air into the tire.

The pressure gauge (C) will
initially show a high pressure
while the compressor pushes the
sealant into the tire. Once the
sealant is completely dispersed
into the tire, the pressure will
quickly drop and start to rise
again as the tire inflates with
air only.

10. Inflate the tire to the

recommended inflation
pressure using the pressure
gauge (C). The recommended
inflation pressure can be
found on the Tire and Loading
Information label. See Tire
Pressure on page 10‑45
.

The pressure gauge (C) may
read higher than the actual tire
pressure while the compressor
is on. Turn the compressor off
to get an accurate pressure
reading. The compressor may
be turned on/off until the
correct pressure is reached.

Notice: If the recommended
pressure cannot be reached
after approximately 25 minutes,
the vehicle should not be driven
farther. The tire is too severely
damaged and the tire sealant and
compressor kit cannot inflate the

tire. Remove the power plug
from the accessory power
outlet and unscrew the inflating
hose from the tire valve. See
Roadside Assistance Program
(U.S. and Canada) on page 13‑8
or Roadside Assistance Program
(Mexico) on page 13‑10
.

11. Press the on/off button (B)

to turn the tire sealant and
compressor kit off.

The tire is not sealed and
will continue to leak air until
the vehicle is driven and the
sealant is distributed in the tire;
therefore, Steps 12 through 18
must be done immediately after
Step 11.

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