7. Press the inflator switch to turn on the compressor.
uThe compressor starts injecting sealant and air into the tire.
8. Continue to add air after the sealant
injection is complete.
9. After the air pressure reaches the required
pressure, turn off the inflator switch.
uTo check the pressure, occasionally turn
off the compressor and read the gauge.
1Injecting Sealant and Air
NOTICE
Do not operate the temporary tire repair kit
compressor for more than 15 minutes. The accessory
power socket and compressor can overheat and become permanently damaged.
There is an accessory power socket in the front
console panel.
2 Accessory Power Socket P. 129
Until the sealant injectio n is complete, the pressure
shown on the pressure gauge will appear higher than
actual. After the sealan t injection is complete the
pressure will drop and then begin to rise again as the
tire is inflated with air. Th is is normal. To accurately
measure the air pressure using the gauge, turn the air
compressor off only after the sealant injection is complete.
See the driver’s doorjamb or the specifications in this
manual for the required air pressure. 2 Specifications P. 306

need to check the pressure any more.
uGreater than 19 psi (130 kPa), but less than the required air pressure:
Use the air compressor to inflate the tire to the required air pressure.
