ment.

Store the electrical plug and the air
hose behind the flap and place the air
pump back in the trunk.

longer than six minutes without
interruption. Otherwise it may over-
heat.

again after it has cooled off.
Warning!
G
Follow recommended inflation pressures.
Do not overinflate tires. Overinflated tires
can result in sudden deflation (blowout) be-
cause they are more likely to become punc-
tured or damaged by road debris, potholes,
etc.
Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated tires
wear unevenly, adversely affect handling
and fuel economy, and are more likely to fail
from being overheated.
