8. Press the on/off (D) button to
turn the tire sealant and
compressor kit on.
The compressor will inject
sealant and air into the tire.
The pressure gage (E) 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.
9. Inflate the tire to the
recommended inflation pressure
using the pressure gage (E).
The recommended inflation
pressure can be found on the
Tire and Loading Information
label. See Inflation - Tire
Pressure on page 5-43.
The pressure gage (E) 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 on page 7-5.
10. Press the on/off button (D) 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 11 through 17
must be done immediately
after Step 10.
Be careful while handling the tire
sealant and compressor kit as it
could be warm after usage.
11. Unplug the power plug (C) from
the accessory power outlet in
the vehicle.
12. Turn the sealant/air hose (F)
counterclockwise to remove it
from the tire valve stem.
13. Replace the tire valve
stem cap.
