CAUTION

When inserting the air compressor plug
into or removing it from the accessory
socket, make sure that the air
compressor switch is off. When turning
the air compressor on/off, use the air
compressor switch.

12. The sealant is injected into the tire

when the air compressor is switched
on. After the sealant is injected
completely, wait until the tire inflation
pressure increases to the specified tire
inflation pressure.

NOTE

The inflation pressure may increase to
about 300 kPa (3.1 kgf/cm

2

, 3 bar, 43.5

psi) temporarily to inject the sealant
through the valve. Normally, the
inflation pressure decreases gradually
and it reaches the actual inflation
pressure after about 30 seconds.

WARNING

Never use the air compressor above 300
kPa (3.1 kgf/cm

2

, 3 bar, 43.5 psi):

Using the air compressor at an inflation
pressure above 300 kPa (3.1 kgf/cm

2

, 3

bar, 43.5 psi) continuously is
dangerous. If the air compressor
overheats, hot air will be exhausted and
you could get burned.

NOTE

•

Check the tire inflation pressure
label driver's door frame for the
correct tire inflation pressure.

•

Do not operate the air compressor
for a continuous 10 minutes or
longer because using it for long
periods could cause a malfunction.
