sealant and compressor kit as it
could be warm after usage.
12. Unplug the power plug (8) from the accessory power outlet in the
vehicle.
13. Turn the sealant/air hose (6) counterclockwise to remove it
from the tire valve stem.
14. Replace the tire valve stem cap.
15. Replace the sealant/air hose (6), and the power plug (8) back in
their original location.
16. If the flat tire was able to inflateto the recommended inflation
pressure, remove the maximum
speed label from the sealant
canister (5) and place it in a
highly visible location. Do not exceed the speed on this label
until the damaged tire is repaired
or replaced.
17. Return the equipment to its original storage location in the
vehicle.
18. Immediately drive the vehicle 8 km (5 mi) to distribute the
sealant in the tire.
19. Stop at a safe location and check the tire pressure. Refer to
Steps 1–11 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 Service
0 350. 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.
20. Wipe off any sealant from the wheel, tire, and vehicle.
21. Dispose of the used sealant canister (5) and sealant/air hose
(6) assembly at a local dealer or
in accordance with local state
codes and practices.
22. Replace with a new canister assembly available from your
dealer.
23. After temporarily sealing the tire using the tire sealant and
compressor kit, take the vehicle
to an authorized dealer within
161 km (100 mi) of driving to
have the tire repaired 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. Selector Switch (Sealant/Airor Air Only)
2. On/Off Button
3. Pressure Gauge 4. Pressure Deflation Button
5. Tire Sealant Canister
6. Sealant/Air Hose (Clear)
7. Air Only Hose (Black)
8. Power Plug
9. Canister Release Button
(Under Sealant/Air Hose)
If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire
and wheel damage by driving slowly
to a level place. Turn on the hazard
warning flashers. See Hazard Warning
Flashers 0148.
See If a Tire Goes Flat 0303 for other
important safety warnings.
1. Remove the tire sealant and compressor kit from its storage
location. See Storing the Tire
Sealant and Compressor Kit 0311.
2. Unwrap the air only hose (7) and the power plug (8).
3. Place the kit on the ground. Make sure the tire valve stem is
positioned close to the ground so
the hose will reach it.
4. Remove the tire valve stem cap from the flat tire by turning it
counterclockwise.

5. Attach the air only hose (7) ontothe tire valve stem by turning it
clockwise until it is tight.
6. Plug the power plug (8) into the accessory power outlet in the
vehicle. Unplug all items from
other accessory power outlets.
See Power Outlets 0108.
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.
7. Start the vehicle. The vehicle must be running while using the
air compressor.
8. Press and turn the selector switch (1) clockwise to the Air
Only position.
9. Press the on/off button (2) to turn the compressor on.
The compressor will inflate the
tire with air only. 10. Inflate the tire to the
recommended inflation pressure
using the pressure gauge (3). The
recommended inflation pressure
can be found on the Tire and
Loading Information label. See
Tire Pressure 0289.
The pressure gauge (3) may read
higher than the actual tire
pressure while the compressor is
on. Turn the compressor off to
get an accurate reading. The
compressor may be turned on/off
until the correct pressure is
reached.
If you inflate the tire higher than
the recommended pressure you
can adjust the excess pressure by
pressing the pressure deflation
button (4) until the proper
pressure reading is reached. This
option is only functional when
using the air only hose (7).
11. Press the on/off button (2) to turn the tire sealant and
compressor kit off. Be careful while handling the tire
sealant and compressor kit as it
could be warm after usage.
12. Unplug the power plug (8) from the accessory power outlet in the
vehicle.
13. Disconnect the air only hose (7) from the tire valve stem, by
turning it counterclockwise, and
