Check that the air pressure indicator shows the specified air p ressure. 
If  the  air  pressure  is  under  the  designated  pressure,  turn  the  compressor 
switch on (type A) or  (on) (type B) again and repeat the inflation proce- 
dure until the specified air pressure is reached. 
■ The valve of a tire that has been repaired

WARNING
■When removing the 12-volt battery terminals 
Always remove the negative (-) terminal first. If the positive  (+) terminal con- 
tacts  any  metal  in  the  surrounding  area  when  the  positive  (+)  t erminal  is 
removed, a spark may occur, leading to a fire in addition to el ectrical shocks 
and death or serious injury. 
■ Avoiding 12-volt battery fires or explosions 
Observe  the  following precautions  to  prevent  accidentally  ignit ing the flam- 
mable gas that may be emitted from the 12-volt battery: 
● Make sure each jumper cable is connected to the correct terminal and that 
it is not unintentionally in contact with any other than the in tended terminal. 
● Do not allow the other end of the jumper cable connected to the “+” termi- 
nal to come into contact with any other parts or metal surfaces  in the area, 
such as brackets or unpainted metal. 
● Do not allow the + and - clamps of the jumper cables to come into contact 
with each other. 
● Do  not  smoke,  use  matches,  cigarette  lighters  or  allow  open  flame  near 
the 12-volt battery. 
■ 12-volt battery precautions 
The  12-volt  battery  contains  poisonous  and  corrosive  acidic  ele ctrolyte, 
while related parts contain lead and lead compounds. Observe th e following 
precautions when handling the 12-volt battery: 
● When  working  with  the  12-volt  battery,  always  wear  safety  glasses  and 
take  care  not  to  allow  any  battery  fluids  (acid)  to  come  into  c ontact  with 
skin, clothing or the vehicle body. 
● Do not lean over the 12-volt battery. 
● In  the  event  that  battery  fluid  comes  into  contact  with  the  skin  or  eyes, 
immediately wash the affected area with water and seek medical  attention. 
Place  a wet sponge or  cloth over the  affected area  until medica l attention 
can be received.
