6. Plug the power plug (H) into theaccessory power outlet in the
vehicle. Unplug all items from
other accessory power outlets.
See Power Outlets on page 5‑8.
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.

cord in the door or window.
7. Start the vehicle. The vehicle must be running while using the
air compressor.

position.
9. Press the on/off (B) button to turn the compressor on.
The compressor will inflate the
tire with air only. 10. Inflate the tire to the
recommended inflation
pressure using the pressure
gauge (C). The recommended
inflation pressure can be
found on the Tire and Loading
Information label. See Tire
Pressure on page 10‑54.
The pressure gauge (C) may
read higher than the actual tire
pressure while the compressor
is on. Turn the compressor
off to get an accurate reading.
The compressor may be turned
on/off until the correct pressure
is reached.
If you inflate the tire higher
than the recommended
pressure you can adjust
the excess pressure by
pressing the pressure deflation
button (D), if equipped, until
the proper pressure reading is
reached. This option is only
functional when using the air
only hose (G). 11. Press the on/off button (B)
to turn the tire sealant and
compressor kit off.
Be careful while handling the
tire sealant and compressor
kit as it could be warm after
usage.

the vehicle.
13. Disconnect the air only hose (G) from the tire
valve stem by turning it
counterclockwise, and replace
the tire valve stem cap.

cord back in their original
locations.
