7. Push the On/Off switch to the I (on) position.
The sealant and compressor kit injects sealant and
air into the tire. Sealant could leak from the
puncture until the vehicle is driven and the puncture
has sealed.
8. The pressure gage will initially show a high pressure
while the compressor pushes the sealant into the
tire. Once the sealant is completely dispersed in
the tire, the pressure will quickly drop and start to
rise again as the tire inflates.
9. Inflate the tire 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.
The pressure gage reads high while the compressor
is running. 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. The tire is too severely damaged and
cannot be inflated or sealed with the tire sealant
and compressor kit. Remove the air compressor
accessory plug from the accessory power outlet and
unscrew the sealant filling hose from the tire
valve or tire pressure monitoring sensor valve.
See Roadside Assistance Program on page 7-7.
10. Push the sealant and compressor kit switch to
the O (off) position.
11. The tire is not sealed and will continue to leak air
until the vehicle is driven and the sealant is
distributed in the tire.
Steps 12 through 20 must be done right after
Step 11.
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 could be hot after usage.
14. Wrap the sealant filling hose around the air
compressor channel to stow it in its original location.
