10. Inflate the tire to the
recommended inflation pressure
using the pressure gage (C).
The recommended inflation
pressure can be found on the
Tire and Loading Information
label. See Inflation - Tire
Pressure on page 5-42.
The pressure gage (C) 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 7-6.
11. Press the on/off button (B) 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 12 through 18 must be
done immediately after Step 11.
Be careful while handling the tire
sealant and compressor kit as
it could be warm after usage.
12. Unplug the power plug (H) from
the accessory power outlet in
the vehicle.
13. Turn the sealant/air hose (F)
counterclockwise to remove it
from the tire valve stem.
14. Replace the tire valve stem cap.
15. Replace the sealant/air
hose (F), and the power
plug (H) back in their original
location.
16. If the flat tire was able to inflate
to the recommended inflation
pressure, remove the maximum
speed label from the sealant
canister (E) and place it in a
highly visible location. The label
is a reminder not to exceed
55 mph (90 km/h) until the
damaged tire is repaired or
replaced.
17. Return the equipment to its
original storage location in
the vehicle.
18. Immediately drive the vehicle
5 miles (8 km) to distribute the
sealant in the tire.
