2. Unwrap the air only hose (E)and the power plug (G).
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 (E) onto the tire valve stem by turning it
clockwise until it is tight.
6. Plug the power plug (G) into the accessory power outlet in the
vehicle. Unplug all items from
other accessory power outlets.
See Power Outlets
on
page 4‑9.
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

position.
9. Press the on/off (A) button to turn the compressor on.

pressure using the pressure
gauge (D). The recommended
inflation pressure can be found
on the Tire and Loading
Information label. See Tire
Pressure on page 9‑56.
The pressure gauge (D) may

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. 11. Press the on/off button (A)
to turn the tire sealant and
compressor kit off.
Be careful while handling the
tire sealant and compressor
kit as it could be warm after

the vehicle.
13. Disconnect the air only hose (E) from the tire
valve stem, by turning it
counterclockwise, and replace
