1. Remove the compressorfrom its storage location.
See Storing the Tire
Sealant and Compressor
Kit 0446.
2. Remove the air only hose (10) and the power plug (9)
from the bottom of the
compressor.
3. Place the compressor on the ground near the
flat tire.
Make sure the tire valve
stem is positioned close to
the ground so the hose will
reach it.
4. Remove the valve stem cap from the flat tire by
turning it
counterclockwise.
5. Attach the air only hose (10) to the tire valve stem
by turning it clockwise until
tight.
6. Plug the power plug (9) into the accessory power
outlet in the vehicle. Unplug all items from other
accessory power outlets.
See Power Outlets
0101.
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 the on/off button (5) to turn the tire sealant and
compressor kit on.
The compressor will inflate
the tire with air only.
9. Inflate the tire to the recommended inflation
pressure using the
pressure gauge (8). The
recommended inflation
pressure can be found on the Tire and Loading
Information label. See Tire
Pressure
0422.
The pressure gauge (8)
may read higher than the
actual tire pressure while
the compressor is on. Turn
the compressor off to get
an accurate pressure
reading. The compressor
may be turned on/off until
the correct pressure is
reached.
Caution
If the recommended
pressure cannot be reached
after approximately
25 minutes, the vehicle
should not be driven farther.
The tire is too severely
damaged and the tire
sealant and compressor kit
cannot inflate the tire.

460 Vehicle Care
Steering, Suspension, and
Chassis Components
Visually inspect steering,
suspension, and chassis
components for damaged,
loose, or missing parts or signs
of wear at least once a year.
Inspect power steering for
proper attachment,
connections, binding, leaks,
cracks, chafing, etc.
Visually check constant
velocity joint boots and axle
seals for leaks.
Body Component
Lubrication
Lubricate all key lock cylinders,
hood hinges, liftgate hinges,
and the steel fuel door hinges,
unless the components are
plastic. Applying silicone
grease on weatherstrips with
a clean cloth will make them
last longer, seal better, and
not stick or squeak.
Underbody Maintenance
Every six months, use plain
water to flush any corrosive
materials from the underbody.
Take care to thoroughly clean
any areas where mud and
other debris can collect.
Do not directly power wash
the transfer case and/or
front/rear axle output seals.
High pressure water can
overcome the seals and
contaminate the fluid.
Contaminated fluid will
decrease the life of the
transfer case and/or axles and
should be replaced.
Sheet Metal Damage
If the vehicle is damaged and
requires sheet metal repair or
replacement, make sure the
body repair shop applies
anti-corrosion material to
parts repaired or replaced to
restore corrosion protection.Original manufacturer
replacement parts will provide
the corrosion protection while
maintaining the vehicle
warranty.
Finish Damage
Quickly repair minor chips and
scratches with touch-up
materials available from your
dealer to avoid corrosion.
Larger areas of finish damage
can be corrected in your
dealer's body and paint shop.
Chemical Paint Spotting
Airborne pollutants can fall
upon and attack painted
vehicle surfaces causing
blotchy, ring-shaped
discolorations, and small,
irregular dark spots etched
into the paint surface. See
“Finish Care”
previously in this
section.
