7. Press the inflator switch to turn on the
compressor.
u The compressor starts injecting sealant
and air into the tire.
u When the sealant injection is complete,
continue to add air.
8. After the air pressure reaches front: 36 psi
(250 kPa)/rear: 38 psi (260 kPa), turn off
the kit.
u To check the pressure, occasionally turn
off the compressor, and read the
gauge.
9. Unplug the power plug from the accessory
power socket.
10. Unscrew the sealant/ai r hose from the tire
valve stem. Reinstall the valve cap.
11. Press the pressure relief button until the
gauge returns 0 psi (0 kPa).

Pressure Gauge1Injecting Sealant and Air
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.
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.
See an authorized Honda Clar ity Electric dealer for a
replacement sealant bottle an d proper disposal of an
empty bottle.

5. Turn the selector knob to AIR.
u Do not turn the air compressor on to
check the pressure.

6.If the air pressure is
• Less than 25 psi (175 kPa):
Do not add air or continue driving. The leak
is too severe. Call for help and have your
vehicle towed.

•Front: 36 psi (250 kPa) /rear: 38 psi (260
kPa) or more:
Continue driving for another 10 minutes or
until you reach the nearest service station,
whichever is sooner. Do not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h). If you have not reached a service
station after 10 minutes, stop in a safe
place and check th e tire pressure.
u If the air pressure do es not go down after
the 10 minute driving, you do not need
to check the pressure any more.

u You should repeat this procedure as long
as the air pressure is within this range.
