2. Remove the sealant/air hose (5) from the side of the
compressor.
3. Remove the power plug (6).
4. Place the kit on the ground. Make sure the tire valve stem
is positioned close to the
ground so the hose will
reach it.
5. Remove the valve stem cap from the flat tire by turning it
counterclockwise. 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

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 0305
ii.
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.

Installing the Spare Tire
1. Do a safety check beforeproceeding. See If a Tire Goes
Flat 0318
ii.
2. Turn the wheel wrench
counterclockwise to loosen all
the wheel nuts.
Do not remove the wheel nuts.
3. Place the jack near the flat tire.
4. Place the spare tire near you.
{Warning
Getting under a vehicle when it is
lifted on a jack is dangerous.
If the vehicle slips off the jack,
you could be badly injured or
killed. Never get under a vehicle
when it is supported only by
a jack.
{Warning
Raising the vehicle with the jack
improperly positioned can
damage the vehicle and even
make the vehicle fall. To help
avoid personal injury and vehicle
damage, be sure to fit the jack lift
head into the proper location
before raising the vehicle.
{Warning
Lifting a vehicle and getting under
it to do maintenance or repairs is
dangerous without the
appropriate safety equipment and
training. If a jack is provided with
the vehicle, it is designed only for
changing a flat tire. If it is used for
anything else, you or others could
be badly injured or killed if the
vehicle slips off the jack. If a jack
is provided with the vehicle, only
use it for changing a flat tire.

After installing the spare tire on the
vehicle, stop as soon as possible
and check that the spare is correctly
inflated. The spare tire is made to
perform well at speeds up to
112 km/h (70 mph) at the
recommended inflation pressure, so
you can finish your trip.
The full-size spare includes a TPMS
sensor. The TPMS will not monitor
or display the spare tire air pressure
until the tire/wheel is installed at one
of the four tire/wheel positions on
the vehicle and matched to the new
position. SeeTire Pressure Monitor

iifor information
about matching the spare tire to
the TPMS.
Have the damaged or flat road tire
repaired or replaced and installed
back onto the vehicle as soon as
possible so the spare tire will be
available in case it is needed again.
Do not mix tires and wheels of
different sizes, because they will not
fit. Keep the spare tire and its wheel
together.
