Electrical System
Electrical System
Overload
The vehicle has fuses and circuit
breakers to protect against an
electrical system overload.
When the current electrical load
is too heavy, the circuit breaker
opens and closes, protecting the
circuit until the current load returns
to normal or the problem is fixed.
This greatly reduces the chance of
circuit overload and fire caused by
electrical problems.
Fuses and circuit breakers protect
the following in the vehicle:
•Headlamp Wiring
•Windshield Wiper Motor
•Power Windows and other Power
Accessories
Vehicle Care 9-41

Always do a safety check first.
SeeIf a Tire Goes Flat on
page 9-69. Do not remove any
objects that have penetrated
the tire.
1. Remove the tire sealant and
compressor kit from its storage
location. SeeStoring the Tire
Sealant and Compressor Kit
on page 9-77.
2. Unwrap the sealant/air hose (F)
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 valve stem cap
from the flat tire by turning it
counterclockwise.5. Attach the sealant/air hose (F)
onto the tire valve stem. Turn
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.
SeePower 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
must be running while using
the air compressor.8. Turn the selector switch (B)
clockwise to the Sealant + Air
position.
9. Press the on/off (A) button
to turn the tire sealant and
compressor kit on.
The compressor will inject
sealant and air into the tire.
The pressure gage (D) will
initially show a high pressure
while the compressor pushes the
sealant into the tire. Once the
sealant is completely dispersed
into the tire, the pressure will
quickly drop and start to rise
again as the tire inflates with
air only.
Vehicle Care 9-73

10. Inflate the tire to the
recommended inflation pressure
using the pressure gage (D).
The recommended inflation
pressure can be found on the
Tire and Loading Information
label. SeeTire Pressure on
page 9-54.
The pressure gage (D) may
read higher than the actual tire
pressure while the compressor
is on. Turn the compressor off
to get an accurate pressure
reading. The compressor may
be turned on/off until the correct
pressure is reached.
Notice:If the recommended
pressure cannot be reached after
approximately 25 minutes, the
vehicle should not be driven
farther. The tire is too severely
damaged and the tire sealant and
compressor kit cannot inate the
tire. Remove the power plug from
the accessory power outlet and
unscrew the inating hose from
the tire valve. SeeRoadside
Assistance Program on page 12-6.11. Press the on/off button (A)
to turn the tire sealant and
compressor kit off.
The tire is not sealed and will
continue to leak air until the
vehicle is driven and the sealant
is distributed in the tire,
therefore, Steps 12 through 18
must be done immediately after
Step 11.
Be careful while handling the
tire sealant and compressor
kit as it could be warm
after usage.
12. Unplug the power plug (G) from
the accessory power outlet in
the vehicle.
13. Turn the sealant/air hose (F)
counterclockwise to remove it
from the tire valve stem.
14. Replace the tire valve
stem cap.
15. Replace the sealant/air
hose (F), and the power plug (G)
back in their original location.16. If the flat tire was able to inflate
to the recommended inflation
pressure, remove the maximum
speed label from the sealant
canister and place it in a highly
visible location. The label is a
reminder not to exceed 90 km/h
(55 mph) until the damaged tire
is repaired or replaced.
17. Return the equipment to its
original storage location in
the vehicle.

must be running while using
the air compressor.
8. Turn the selector switch (B)
counterclockwise to the Air
Only position.
9. Press the on/off (A) button 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 gage (D).
The recommended inflation
pressure can be found on the
Tire and Loading Information
label. SeeTire Pressure on
page 9-54.

Notice:Improperly tightened
wheel nuts can lead to brake
pulsation and rotor damage.
To avoid expensive brake repairs,
evenly tighten the wheel nuts
in the proper sequence and to
the proper torque specication.
SeeCapacities and Specifications
on page 11-2for the wheel nut
torque specication.
