and air into the tire.
u When the sealant injection is complete,
continue to add air.

pressure, turn off the kit.
u To check the pressure, occasionally turn
off the compressor and read the gauge.
u Refer to the driver’s doorjamb label for
the specified pressure.
9. Unplug the power plug from the accessory
power socket.

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.
See a dealer for a replacement sealant bottle and
proper disposal of an empty bottle.

•Front: 33 psi (225 kPa)/rear: 32 psi (220 kPa) or more:
Continue driving for another 10 minutes or until you reach the nearest service
station, whichever is sooner. Do not exce ed 50 mph (80 km/h). If you have not
reached a service station, stop and check the tire pressure.
u If the air pressure does not go down after the 10 minute dr iving, you do not
need to check the pressure any more.
• Greater than 25 psi (175 kPa), but less than front: 33 psi (225 kPa)/rear: 32
psi (220 kPa):
Turn the air compressor on to inflate the ti re until the tire pressure reaches front:
33 psi (225 kPa)/rear: 32 psi (220 kPa).
