2010 SATURN OUTLOOK tire pressure

10-62 Vehicle Care
7. Start the vehicle. The vehiclemust be running while using the
air compressor.
8. Turn the selector switch (A) counterclockwise to the Sealant
+ Air position.
9. Press the on/off (B) button to turn the tire sealant and
compressor kit on.
The compressor will inject
sealant and air into the tire.
The pressure gage (C) 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.
10. Inflate the tire to the recommended inflation
pressure using the pressure
gage (C). The recommended
inflation pressure can be found on the Tire and Loading
Information label. See
Tire
Pressure on page 10‑43.
The pressure gage (C) 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 inflate the
tire. Remove the power plug from
the accessory power outlet and
unscrew the inflating hose from
the tire valve. See Roadside
Assistance Program on
page 13‑5.
11. Press the on/off button (B) 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 (H) 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 (H) back in their original
location.

16. If the flat tire was able to inflateto the recommended inflation
pressure, remove the
maximum speed label from the
sealant canister (E) and place
it in a highly visible location.
The label is a reminder not to
exceed 55 mph (90 km/h) until
the damaged tire is repaired or
replaced.
17. Return the equipment to its original storage location in the
vehicle.
18. Immediately drive the vehicle 5 miles (8 km) to distribute the
sealant in the tire. 19. Stop at a safe location and
check the tire pressure. Refer
to Steps 1 through 11 under
“Using the Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit without
Sealant to Inflate a Tire
(Not Punctured).”
If the tire pressure has fallen
more than 10 psi (68 kPa)
below the recommended
inflation pressure, stop driving
the vehicle. The tire is too
severely damaged and the tire
sealant cannot seal the tire.
SeeRoadside Assistance
Program on page 13‑5.
If the tire pressure has
not dropped more than
10 psi (68 kPa) from the
recommended inflation
pressure, inflate the tire to
the recommended inflation
pressure. 20. Wipe off any sealant from the
wheel, tire, and vehicle.
21. Dispose of the used sealant canister (E) and sealant/air
hose (F) assembly at a local
dealer/retailer or in accordance
with local state codes and
practices.
22. Replace it with a new canister available from your dealer/
retailer.
23. After temporarily sealing a tire using the tire sealant and
compressor kit, take the
vehicle to an authorized dealer/
retailer within a 100 miles
(161 km) of driving to have the
tire repaired or replaced.

4. Remove the tire valve stem capfrom the flat tire by turning it
counterclockwise.
5. Attach the air only hose (G) onto the tire valve stem by turning it
clockwise until it is tight.
6. Plug the power plug (H) into the accessory power outlet in the
vehicle. Unplug all items from
other accessory power outlets.
See Power Outlets
on
page 5‑9.
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 (A) clockwise to the Air Only
position. 9. Press the on/off (B) 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 (C). The recommended
inflation pressure can be found
on the Tire and Loading
Information label. See Tire
Pressure on page 10‑43.
The pressure gage (C) may
read higher than the actual tire
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.
If you inflate the tire higher
than the recommended
pressure you can adjust the
excess pressure by pressing
the pressure deflation
button (D), if equipped, until the
proper pressure reading is reached. This option is only
functional when using the air
only hose (G).
11. Press the on/off button (B) 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
usage.
12. Unplug the power plug (H) from the accessory power outlet in
the vehicle.
13. Disconnect the air only hose (G) from the tire valve stem, by
turning it counterclockwise, and
replace the tire valve stem cap.
14. Replace the air only hose (G) and the power plug (H) and
cord back in its original
location.
15. Place the equipment in the original storage location in the
vehicle.

Storing the Spare Tire
{WARNING
The underbody-mounted spare
tire needs to be stored with the
valve stem pointing down. If the
spare tire is stored with the valve
stem pointing upwards, the
secondary latch will not work
properly and the spare tire could
loosen and suddenly fall from the
vehicle. If this happened when
the vehicle was being driven, the
tire might contact a person or
another vehicle, causing injury
and damage to itself. Be sure the
underbody-mounted spare tire is
stored with the valve stem
pointing down.
{WARNING
Storing a jack, a tire, or other
equipment in the passenger
compartment of the vehicle could
cause injury. In a sudden stop or
collision, loose equipment could
strike someone. Store all these in
the proper place.
To store the spare tire:
1. Lay the compact spare tire near the rear of the vehicle with the
valve stem down.
2. Reinstall the plastic spare tire heat shield on the compact
spare tire.
3. Slide the cable retainer through the center of the wheel and start
to raise the compact spare tire.
Make sure the retainer is fully
seated across the underside of
the wheel. 4. When the compact spare tire is
almost in the stored position,
turn the tire so the valve is
toward the rear of the vehicle.
This position helps when
checking the air pressure in the
compact spare tire.
5. Raise the tire fully against the underside of the vehicle.
Continue turning the lug wrench
until you feel more than two
clicks. This indicates that the
compact spare tire is secure and
the cable is tight. The spare tire
hoist cannot be overtightened.

Vehicle Care 10-77
5. Turn the lug wrench clockwise toraise the jack until it lifts the
secondary latch spring.
6. Keep raising the jack until the spare tire stops moving upward
and is held firmly in place. This
lets you know that the secondary
latch has released and the spare
tire is balancing on the jack.
7. Lower the jack by turning the lugwrench counterclockwise. Keep
lowering the jack until the spare
tire slides off the jack.
8. Disconnect the lug wrench fromthe jack and carefully remove
the jack. Use one hand to push
against the spare tire while firmly
pulling the jack out from under
the spare tire with the
other hand.
9. Tilt the retainer and slip it through the wheel opening when
the spare tire has been
completely lowered.
10. Turn the lug wrench clockwise to raise the cable back up if the
cable is hanging. Have the hoist shaft assembly
inspected as soon as you can. You
will not be able to store a spare tire
using the hoist assembly until it has
been repaired or replaced.
Compact Spare Tire
{WARNING
Driving with more than one
compact spare tire at a time could
result in loss of braking and
handling. This could lead to a
crash and you or others could be
injured. Use only one compact
spare tire at a time.
The compact spare tire, if the
vehicle has one, was fully inflated
when the vehicle was new, however,
it can lose air after a time. Check
the inflation pressure regularly.
It should be 60 psi (420 kPa).

Vehicle Care 10-91
Do not clean the interior using the
following cleaners or techniques:
.Never use a knife or any other
sharp object to remove a soil
from any interior surface.
.Never use a stiff brush. It can
cause damage to the vehicle's
interior surfaces.
.Never apply heavy pressure or
rub aggressively with a cleaning
cloth. Use of heavy pressure can
damage the interior and does
not improve the effectiveness of
soil removal.
.Use only mild, neutral-pH soaps.
Avoid laundry detergents or
dishwashing soaps with
degreasers. Using too much
soap will leave a residue that
leaves streaks and attracts dirt.
For liquid cleaners, about
20 drops per 3.78 L (1 gal) of
water is a good guide.
.Do not heavily saturate the
upholstery while cleaning.
.Damage to the vehicle's interior
may result from the use of many
organic solvents such as naptha,
alcohol, etc.
Fabric/Carpet
Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft
brush attachment to remove dust
and loose dirt. A canister vacuum
with a beater bar in the nozzle may
only be used on floor carpet and
carpeted floor mats. For soils,
always try to remove them first with
plain water or club soda. Before
cleaning, gently remove as much of
the soil as possible using one of the
following techniques:
.For liquids: gently blot the
remaining soil with a paper
towel. Allow the soil to absorb
into the paper towel until no
more can be removed.
.For solid dry soils: remove as
much as possible and then
vacuum.To clean:
1. Saturate a lint-free, clean white
cloth with water or club soda.
2. Remove excess moisture.
3. Start on the outside edge of the soil and gently rub toward the
center. Continue cleaning, using
a clean area of the cloth each
time it becomes soiled.
4. Continue to gently rub the soiled area.
5. If the soil is not completely removed, use a mild soap
solution and repeat the cleaning
process with plain water.
If any of the soil remains, a
commercial fabric cleaner or spot
lifter may be necessary. Test a small
hidden area for colorfastness before
using a commercial upholstery
cleaner or spot lifter. If the locally
cleaned area gives any impression
that a ring formation may result,
clean the entire surface.
