6. Attach the sealant/air hose (5)onto the tire valve. Turn it
clockwise until it is tight.
7. Switch the on/off switch (1) to the O position.
8. Plug the power plug (6) into the power outlet in the vehicle.
Unplug all items from other
accessory power outlets. See
Power Outlets on page 5-4.
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.
9. Start the vehicle. The vehicle must be running while using the
air compressor.
10. Switch the on/off switch (1) to the I position.
The compressor will inject
sealant and air into the tire. Sealant may leak from the
puncture hole until the vehicle
is driven and the hole has
sealed.
The pressure gauge (2) 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.
11. Inflate the tire to the recommended inflation
pressure using the pressure
gauge (2). The recommended
inflation pressure can be found
on the Tire and Loading
Information label. See Tire
Pressure on page 10-41.
The pressure gauge (2) 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.
{Caution
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.

12. Switch the on/off switch (1) tothe O position.
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 13–19 must
be done immediately after
Step 12.
Be careful while handling the
tire sealant and compressor kit
as it could be warm after
usage.
13. Unplug the power plug (6) from the accessory power outlet in
the vehicle.
14. Turn the sealant/air hose (5) counterclockwise to remove it
from the tire valve stem.
15. Replace the tire valve stem cap.
16. Replace the sealant/air hose (5), and the power plug (6
back in their original location.
17. If the flat tire was able to inflateto the recommended inflation
pressure, remove the
maximum speed label from the
tire sealant canister (3) and
place it in a highly visible
location.
Do not exceed the speed on
this label until the damaged tire
is repaired or replaced.
18. Return the equipment to its original storage location in the
vehicle.
19. Immediately drive the vehicle 8 km (5 mi) to distribute the
sealant in the tire. 20. Stop at a safe location and
check the tire pressure. Refer
to Steps 1–10 under “Using the
Tire Sealant and Compressor
Kit without Sealant to Inflate a
Tire (Not Punctured).”
If the tire pressure has fallen
more than 68 kPa (10 psi)
below the recommended
inflation pressure, stop driving
the vehicle. The tire is too
severely damaged and the tire
sealant cannot seal the tire.
See Roadside Assistance
Program on page 13-5.
If the tire pressure has not
dropped more than 68 kPa
(10 psi) from the recommended
inflation pressure, inflate the
tire to the recommended
inflation pressure.
21. Wipe off any sealant from the wheel, tire or vehicle.
22. Dispose of the used tire sealant canister (3) and
sealant/air hose (5) assembly

or replaced. Using the Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit without Sealant to
Inflate a Tire (Not Punctured)
To use the air compressor to inflate
a tire with air only and not sealant:
1. On/Off Switch
2. Pressure Gauge
3. Tire Sealant Canister
4. Air Only Hose
5. Sealant/Air Hose
6. Power Plug If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire
