•In the second stage, check the tirepressure and adjust, if necessary, to thevehicle's specified tire inflationpressure.
First Stage: Inflating the Tire withSealing Compound and Air
WARNING: Do not stand directlyover the kit while inflating the tire. If younotice any unusual bulges ordeformations in the tire's sidewall duringinflation, stop and call roadsideassistance.
WARNING: If the tire does notinflate to the recommended tire pressurewithin 15 minutes, stop and call roadsideassistance.
