NOTICE
Do not operate the temporary tire repair kit
compressor for more than 15 minutes. The
compressor can overheat and become permanently
damaged.
3WARNING
Running the engine with the vehicle in an
enclosed or even partly enclosed area can
cause a rapid buildup 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.

7. Press the inflator swit ch to turn on the kit.
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: 35 psi
(240 kPa)/rear: 33 psi (230 kPa), turn off
the kit.
After the air pressure reaches 33 psi (230
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/air hose from the tire
valve stem. Reinstall the valve cap.

1Injecting 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 usin g 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 Acura dealer for a replacement sealant bottle
and proper disposal of an empty bottle.

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: 35 psi (240 kPa)/rear: 33 psi (230
kPa) or more:
• 33 psi (230 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 the tire
pressure.
u If the air pressure does not go down
after the 10 minute driving, you do not
need to check the pressure any more.

Then, drive carefully for 10 more minutes
or until you reach the nearest service

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