Using the Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit to
Temporarily Seal and Inflate a
Punctured Tire
When using the tire sealant and
compressor kit during cold
temperatures, warm the kit in a
heated environment for 5 minutes.
This will help to inflate the tire faster.
Always do a safety check first. See
If a Tire Goes Flat on page 5-58.
1. Remove the tire sealant and
compressor kit from its storage
location. See Tire Sealant
and Compressor Kit Storage on
page 5-66.
Make sure the on/off button (D)
is in the off (O) position.
2. Unwrap the sealant/air hose (F)
and the power plug (C).
3. Place the kit on the ground.
Make sure the tire valve
stem is positioned close to the
ground so the hose will reach it.
4. Remove the valve stem cap from
the flat tire by turning it
counterclockwise.
5. Attach the sealant/air hose (F)
onto the tire valve stem. Turn
it clockwise until it is tight.
6. Plug the power plug (C) into the
accessory power outlet in the
vehicle. Unplug all items
from other accessory power
outlets. See Accessory Power
Outlet(s) on page 3-16.
If the vehicle has an accessory
power outlet, do not use the
cigarette lighter.
If the vehicle only has a cigarette
lighter, use the cigarette lighter.
Do not pinch the power plug
cord in the door or window.
7. Start the vehicle. The vehicle
must be running while using
the air compressor.
