Accessory Inflator
Your vehicle is equipped with an air inflator system.
You can inflate things like basketballs and bicycle tires.
Also, you can use it to bring your tire pressure up to the
proper pressure. It is not designed to inflate large objects
which will require more than five minutes to inflate,
such as an air mattress.
The air inflator is located
in the rear compartment
on the passenger's side
of the vehicle behind an
access cover.
To remove the cover, pull the two tabs on the cover and
pull it off.The air inflator kit is located in the glove compartment.
The kit includes a 22
-foot (6.7 m) hose with three
nozzle adapters.
To use the air inflator attach the appropriate nozzle
adapter to the end of the hose if required. Then attach
that end of the hose to the object you wish to inflate.
Attach the other end of the hose to the outlet.
Press and release the switch to turn the air inflator on.
The indicator light will remain on when the inflator
is running.
The system has an internal clock to prevent overheating.
The system will allow about five minutes of running
time, then the compressor will stop. The indicator light
will then begin to flash. When the indicator is off, the
inflator can be started again by pressing the switch.
If the compressor is still hot, it may only run for a
short time before shutting off again.

Press and release the switch to turn the inflator off.
Place the inflator kit tools in the pouch and store it
properly. Remove the inflator hose from the outlet
during loading and unloading. Load leveling will not

outlet. See ªElectronically Controlled Air Suspension
Systemº in the Index.
To reinstall the cover, line up the tabs at the back of
the cover, put it in place and latch the tabs.
A continuous flashing indicator light may also
indicate a malfunction in the air suspension system.
See ªElectronically Controlled Air Suspension Systemº
in the Index.
CAUTION:
Inflating something too much can make it explode,
and you or others could be injured. Be sure to read
the inflator instructions, and inflate any object
only to its recommended pressure.

auxiliary electrical equipment such as a cellular
telephone or CB radio.

lighter on the instrument panel. The second outlet is

one is located in the rear of the vehicle near the liftgate.
Remove the cover from the outlet to use the outlet.
Be sure to put the cover back on when not using the
accessory power outlet.
