VEHICLE CARE 339
11. Inflate the tire to the
recommended inflation pressure
using the pressure gauge (8). The
recommended inflation pressure
can be found on the Tire and
Loading Information label. See Tire
Pressure 0 323.
The pressure gauge (8) 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.
Caution
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 inf late the tire. Remove
the power plug from the accessory
power outlet and unscrew the
inf lating hose from the tire valve.
12. Press the on/off button (5) 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 13–21 must be done
immediately after Step 12.
Be careful while handling the tire
sealant and compressor kit as it
could be warm after usage.
13. Unplug the power plug (9) from the
accessory power outlet in the
vehicle.
14. Turn the sealant/air hose (2)
counterclockwise to remove it from
the tire valve stem.
15. Replace the tire valve stem cap.
16. Remove the tire sealant canister (4)
from the slot on top of the
compressor (6).
17. Turn the air only hose (10)
counterclockwise to remove it from
the tire sealant canister inlet
valve (1).
18. Turn the sealant/air hose (2)
clockwise onto the sealant canister
inlet valve (1) to prevent sealant
leakage.
19. Return the air only hose (10) and
power plug (9) back to their
original storage location.
20. If the flat tire was able to inflate to
the recommended inflation
pressure, remove the maximum
speed label from the sealant
canister and place it in a highly
visible location.
Do not exceed the speed on this
label until the damaged tire is
repaired or replaced.
21. Return the equipment to its
original storage location in the
vehicle.
22. Immediately drive the vehicle 8 km
(5 mi) to distribute the sealant in
the tire.
