Vehicle Care

If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire
and wheel damage by driving slowly
to a level place. Turn on the hazard
warning flashers. See

Hazard

Warning Flashers on page 6

.

See

If a Tire Goes Flat on

page 10

69

for other important

safety warnings.

1. Remove the tire sealant and

compressor kit from its storage
location. See

Storing the Tire

Sealant and Compressor Kit on
page 10

87

.

2. Unwrap the air only hose (G)

and the power plug (H).

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 tire valve stem cap

from the flat tire by turning it
counterclockwise.

5. Attach the air only hose (G) onto

the tire valve stem by turning it
clockwise until it is tight.

6. Plug the power plug (H) into the

accessory power outlet in the
vehicle. Unplug all items from
other accessory power outlets.
See

Power Outlets on page 5

7

.

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.

8. Turn the selector switch (A)

clockwise to the Air Only
position.

9. Press the on/off button (B) to

turn the compressor on.

The compressor will inflate the
tire with air only.

10. Inflate the tire to the

recommended inflation
pressure using the pressure
gauge (C). The recommended
inflation pressure can be found
on the Tire and Loading
Information label. See

Tire

Pressure on page 10

54

.

The pressure gauge (C) may
read higher than the actual tire
pressure while the compressor
is on. Turn the compressor off
to get an accurate reading. The
compressor may be turned on/
off until the correct pressure is
reached.

If you inflate the tire higher
than the recommended
pressure you can adjust the
excess pressure by pressing
the pressure deflation
button (D), if equipped, until the
proper pressure reading is
reached. This option is only
functional when using the air
only hose (G).
