If the sealant (white fluid) does not flow within0–10seconds through the Sealant
Hose (6):
1.Push the Power Button (4) to turn Off the Tire Service Kit.Disconnect the Sealant
Hose (6) from the valve stem.Make sure the valve stem is free of debris.Reconnect
the Sealant Hose (6) to the valve stem.Check that the Mode Select Knob (5) is in
the Sealant Mode position and not Air Mode.Push the Power Button (4) to turn On
the Tire Service Kit.
2.Connect the Power Plug (8) to a different 12 Volt power outlet in your vehicle or
another vehicle, if available.Make sure the engine is running before turning ON the
Tire Service Kit.
3.The Sealant Bottle (1) may be empty due to previous use.Call for assistance.
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 (typi-
cally takes 30 - 70 seconds).As the sealant flows through the Sealant Hose (6), the
Pressure Gauge (3) can read as high as 70 psi (4.8 Bar).The Pressure Gauge (3) will
decrease quickly from approximately 70 psi (4.8 Bar) 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 Bar) 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, push the Deflation Button to reduce the tire pressure
to the recommended inflation pressure before continuing.
If the tire inflates to the recommended pressure or is at least 26 psi (1.8 Bar) pressure
within 15 minutes:
1.Push the Power Button (4) to turn off the Tire Service 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 Tire Service Kit in the vehicle storage
location.Quickly proceed to (D) “Drive Vehicle.”

CAUTION!
•The metal end fitting from Power Plug (8) may get hot after use, so it should be
handled carefully.
•Failure to reinstall the cap on the fitting at the end of the Sealant Hose (6) can
result in sealant contacting your skin, clothing, and the vehicle’s interior.It can also
result in sealant contacting internal Tire Service Kit components which may cause
permanent damage to the kit.
(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 Tire Service Kit Sealant within the tire.Do
not exceed 55 mph (90 km/h).
WARNING!
Tire Service Kit is not a permanent flat tire repair.Have the tire inspected and repaired
or replaced after using Tire Service Kit.Do not exceed 55 mph (90 km/h) until the tire
is repaired or replaced.Failure to follow this warning can result in injuries that are seri-
ous or fatal to you, your passengers, and others around you.
(E) After Driving:
Pull over to a safe location.Refer to “Whenever You Stop to Use Tire Service Kit” before
continuing.
1.Push in the Mode Select Knob (5) and turn to the Air Mode position.

3.Uncoil the Air Pump Hose (7) (black in color) and screw the fitting at the end of
hose (7) onto the valve stem.
4.Check the pressure in the tire by reading the Pressure Gauge (3).
If tire pressure is less than 19 psi (1.3 Bar):
The tire is too badly damaged.Do not attempt to drive the vehicle further.Call for assis-
tance.

If the tire pressure is 19 psi (1.3 Bar) or higher:
1.Push the Power Button (4) to turn on Tire Service Kit and inflate the tire to the pres-
sure indicated on the tire and loading information label on the driver-side door open-
ing.
NOTE:
If the tire becomes over-inflated, push the Deflation Button to reduce the tire pressure
to the recommended inflation pressure before continuing.
2.Disconnect the Tire Service Kit from the valve stem, reinstall the cap on the valve
stem and unplug from 12 Volt outlet.
3.Place the Tire Service 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 dealer or tire service center.
5.Remove the Speed Limit sticker from the instrument panel after the tire has been
repaired.
6.Replace the Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant Hose (6) assembly at your authorized
dealer as soon as possible.Refer to (F) “Sealant Bottle and Hose Replacement”.
NOTE:
When having the tire serviced, advise the authorized dealer or service center that the
tire has been sealed using the Tire Service Kit.
