NOTE:
If the Mode Select Knob (5) is on Air Mode and the pump is operating, air will dispense
from the Air Pump Hose (7) only, not the Sealant Hose (6).
•If the sealant (white fluid) does flow through the Sealant Hose (6):
1. Continue to operate the pump until sealant is no longer flowing through hose (typically
takes 30 - 70 seconds). As the sealant flows through the Sealant Hose (6), the Pressure
Gauge (3) can read as high as 70 psi (5 kPa). The Pressure Gauge (3) will decrease
quickly from approximately 70 psi (5 kPa) to the actual tire pressure when the Sealant
Bottle (1) is empty .
2. The pump will start to inject air into the tire immediately after the Sealant Bottle (1) is
empty .Continue to operate the pump and inflate the tire to the pressure indicated on
the tire pressure label on the driver-side latch pillar (recommended pressure). Check the
tire pressure by looking at the Pressure Gauge (3).
• If the tire does not inflate to at least 26 psi (1.8 kPa) pressure within 15 minutes:
• The tire is too badly damaged. Do not attempt to drive the vehicle further .Call for
assistance .
NOTE:
If the tire becomes over-inflated, press the Deflation Button to reduce the tire pressure to
the recommended inflation pressure before continuing.
• If the tire does not inflate to at least 26 psi (1.8 kPa) pressure within 15 minutes:
1. Press the Power Button (4) to turn off the TIREFIT kit.
2. Remove the Speed Limit sticker from the top of the Sealant Bottle (1) and place the
sticker on the instrument panel.
3. Immediately disconnect the Sealant Hose (6) from the valve stem, reinstall the cap
on the fitting at the end of the hose, and place the TIREFIT kit in the vehicle storage
location. Quickly proceed to (D) “Drive Vehicle” .
(D) Drive Vehicle:
•Immediately after injecting sealant and inflating the tire, drive the vehicle 5 miles (8 km)
or 10 minutes to ensure distribution of the TIREFIT Sealant within the tire .Do not
exceed 55 mph (88 km/h).
(E) After Driving:
•Pull over to a safe location. Refer to “Whenever You Stop to Use TIREFIT” before continuing .
1.Turn the Mode Select Knob (5) to the Air Mode position.
2. Uncoil the Air Pump Hose (7) (black in color) and screw the fitting at the end of hose
(7) onto the valve stem.
3. Uncoil the power plug and insert the plug into the vehicles 12 Volt power outlet.
4. Check the pressure in the tire by reading the Pressure Gauge (3).
• If tire pressure is less than 19 psi (1.3 kPa), the tire is too badly damaged. Do not
attempt to drive the vehicle further. Call for assistance.

If the tire pressure is 19 psi (1.3 kPa) or higher:
1.Press the Power Button (4) to turn on TIREFIT and inflate the tire to the pressure
indicated on the tire and loading information label on the driver-side door opening.
2. Disconnect the TIREFIT kit from the valve stem, reinstall the cap on the valve stem and
unplug from 12 Volt outlet.
3. Place the TIREFIT kit in its proper storage area in the vehicle .
4. Have the tire inspected and repaired or replaced at the earliest opportunity at an
authorized studio or tire service center .
5. Replace the Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant Hose (6) assembly at your authorized studio
as soon as possible .Refer to “(F) Sealant Bottle and Hose Replacement. ”
NOTE:
• If the tire becomes over-inflated, press the Deflation Button to reduce the tire pressure
to the recommended inflation pressure before continuing.
• When having the tire serviced, advise the authorized studio or service center that the
tire has been sealed using the TIREFIT service kit.
(F) Sealant Bottle And Hose Replacement:
1. Uncoil the Sealant Hose (6) (clear in color).
2. Locate the round Sealant Bottle release button in the recessed area under the sealant
bottle .
3. Press the Sealant Bottle release button. The Sealant Bottle (1) will pop up.Remove the
bottle and dispose of it accordingly .
4. Clean any remaining sealant from the TIREFIT housing.
5. Position the new Sealant Bottle (1) in the housing so that the Sealant Hose (6) aligns
with the hose slot in the front of the housing. Press the bottle into the housing.
An audible click will be heard indicating the bottle is locked into place .
6. Verify that the cap is installed on the fitting at the end of the Sealant Hose (6) and
return the hose to its storage area (located on the bottom of the air pump) .
7. Return the TIREFIT kit to its storage location in the vehicle .
