4. Remove the side cove r, then pull out the
power plug.
5. Plug in the compressor to the accessory
power socket.

door or window.
6. Start the engine.
u Keep the engine running while injecting
sealant and air.

7.Press the inflator switch to turn on the
compressor.
u The compressor starts injecting sealant
and air into the tire.
8. Continue to add air after the sealant
injection is complete.
9. After the air pressure reaches the required
pressure, turn off the inflator switch.
u To check the pressure , occasionally turn
off the compressor and read the gauge.
1 Injecting Sealant and Air
NOTICE
Do not operate the temporary tire repair kit
compressor for more than 15 minutes. The accessory
power socket and compre ssor can overheat and
become permanently damaged.
There is an accessory power socket in the front
console panel. 2 Accessory Power Socket P. 149
Until the sealant injection is complete, the pressure
shown on the pressure gauge will appear higher than
actual. After the sealant injection is complete the
pressure will drop and then begin to rise again as the
tire is inflated with air. This is normal. To accurately
measure the air pressure usi ng the gauge, turn the air
compressor off only after the sealant injection is
complete.
See the driver’s doorjamb or the specifications in this
manual for the requi red air pressure.

3WARNING
Running the engine with the vehicle in an
enclosed or even partly enclosed area can
cause a rapid build-up of toxic carbon
monoxide.
Breathing this colorless, odorless gas can
cause unconsciousness and even death.
Only run the engine to power the air
compressor with th e vehicle outdoors.

u Handle the compressor and the power
plug carefully. They may be hot in
operation.
11. Unscrew the sealant/ai r hose from the tire
valve stem. Reinstall the valve cap.
12. Press the pressure relief button until the
gauge returns to 0 psi (0 kPa).
13. Apply the repair notification label to the
flat surface of the wheel.
u The wheel surface must be clean to
ensure the label adheres properly.1Injecting Sealant and Air
If the required air pressure is not reached within 10
minutes, the tire may be too severely damaged for
the kit to provide the necessa ry seal and your vehicle
will need to be towed.

u If the air pressure does not go down after the 10 minutes driving, you do not
need to check the pressure any more.

3. Raise the vehicle, using the jack handle bar
and the jack handle, until the tire is off the
ground.
■How to Set Up the Jack1How to Set Up the Jack
Do not use the jack with people or luggage in the
vehicle.
Use the jack provided in your vehicle.
Other jacks may not support the weight (“load”) or
their shape may not match.
The following instructions must be followed to use
the jack safely.
•Do not use while the engine is running.
•Use only where the ground is firm and level.
•Use only at the jacking points.•Do not get in the vehicl e while using the jack.
•Do not put anything on top of or underneath the
jack.
3WARNING
The vehicle can easily roll off the jack,
seriously injuring anyone underneath.
Follow the directions for changing a tire
exactly, and never get under the vehicle
when it is supported only by the jack.
