Accessory Inflator
Your vehicle may be equipped with an air inflator
system. You can inflate things like basketballs and
bicycle tires. You can also use it to bring your tire
pressure up to the proper pressure. It is not designed to
inflate large objects which will require more than five
minutes to inflate, such as an air mattress.
The air inflator is located
in the rear compartment
on the passenger’s side
of the vehicle behind
an access cover.
To remove the cover, pull the two tabs on the cover
and pull it off.
You may have an air inflator kit that is located in the
glove compartment. The kit includes a 22 ft (6.7 m)
hose with three nozzle adapters.
To use the air inflator attach the appropriate nozzle
adapter to the end of the hose if required. Then attach
that end of the hose to the object you wish to inflate.
Attach the other end of the hose to the outlet.
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 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.
