8. Make sure there is a proper connection between

the tire valve stem and the sealant filling hose by
looking at the air pressure gage. If there is not
a pressure reading while the compressor is running,
the connection between the inflator kit and the
tire is bad.

Check the attachment between the sealant filling
hose and the tire valve stem.

9. Inflate the tire up to the recommended inflation

pressure, found on the Tire and Loading Information
label located on the vehicle’s center pillar (B-pillar)
below the vehicle’s door latch, using the air pressure
gage on the top of the unit as a guide.

The pressure gage reading is slightly high while the
compressor is on. Turn the compressor off to get
an accurate pressure reading.

Notice: If the recommended pressure cannot be
reached after 15 minutes, the vehicle should not be
driven farther. Damage to the tire is severe and
the sealant will not be effective. Remove the
air compressor plug from the accessory power
outlet and unscrew the inflating hose from the tire
valve. See Roadside Assistance Program
on
page 7-6
.

10. Move the inflator kit switch to the O (off) position

once the correct tire pressure is obtained.

11. Turn off the engine.

12. Unplug the air compressor accessory plug from the

accessory power outlet in the vehicle.

13. Disconnect the sealant filling hose from the tire

valve stem, by turning it counterclockwise, and
replace the tire valve stem cap.

Be careful when handling the tire inflator
components as they may be hot after usage.

14. Wrap the sealant filling hose around the air

compressor channel to stow it in its original location.
