USING THE TIRE SEALANT AND
INFLATOR KIT
Tips for use of the kit
To make sure the kit operates safely andproperly, observe the following:
•Before operating the kit, make sure yourvehicle is safely off the road and awayfrom moving traffic.
•Do not remove any foreign objects, suchas nails or screws, from the tire.
•Do not allow the compressor to operatecontinuously for more than 15 minutes.This prevents the compressor fromoverheating.
•Only use the kit when the ambienttemperature is between -22°F (-30°C) and158°F (70°C).
•Only use the sealing compound beforethe use-by date. The use-by date is on alabel on the sealant canister and can beseen through the rectangular viewingwindow on the bottom of the compressor.Check the use-by date regularly andreplace the canister when the sealantexpires.
Note:Sealant compound contains latex. Useappropriate precautions to avoid any allergicreactions.
When inflation only is required fora tire or other objects, the selectormust be in the Air position.

What to do when a tire is punctured
A tire puncture within the tire's tread areacan be repaired in two stages with the kit.
•In the first stage, the tire is reinflated witha sealing compound and air. After the tirehas been inflated, drive the vehicle ashort distance approximately 4 mi (6 km)to distribute the sealant in the tire.
•In the second stage, check the tirepressure and adjust, if necessary, to thevehicle's specified tire inflation pressure.
First Stage: Reinflating the Tire withsealing compound and air
WARNING: Do not stand directly overthe kit while inflating the tire. If you noticeany unusual bulges or deformations in thetire's sidewall during inflation, stop and callroadside assistance.
WARNING: If the tire does not inflateto the recommended tire pressure within15 minutes, stop and call roadsideassistance.
Park the vehicle in a safe, level and securearea, away from moving traffic.
Turn the hazard lights on. Apply the parkingbrake and power off the vehicle. Inspect theflat tire for visible damage.
If a puncture is located in the tire sidewall,stop and call roadside assistance.
1.Remove the valve cap from the tire valve.
2.Unwrap the dual purpose hose (blacktube) from the back of the compressorhousing.
3.Fasten the hose to the tire valve byturning the connector clockwise. Tightenthe connection securely.
4.Plug the power cable into the 12-voltpower point in the vehicle.

5.Remove the warning sticker found on thecasing/housing and place it on the top ofthe instrument panel or the center of thedash.
6.Turn dial (A) clockwise to the sealantposition. Turn the kit on by pressing theon/off button (B).
7.Inflate the tire to the pressure listed onthe tire label located on the driver dooror the door jamb area. Check the finaltire pressure with the compressor turnedoff to get an accurate pressure reading.

8.When the recommended tire pressure isreached, turn off the kit, unplug thepower cable, and disconnect the hosefrom the tire valve. Re-install the valvecap on the tire valve and return the kit tothe rear of the vehicle.
9.Drive the vehicle 4 mi (6 km) to distributethe sealant evenly inside the tire.
Note:If you experience any unusualvibration, ride disturbance or noise whiledriving, reduce your speed until you cansafely pull off to the side of the road to callfor roadside assistance. Do not proceed tothe second stage of this operation.
Second Stage: Checking the tirepressure with the inflator kit
WARNING: If the tire does not inflateto the recommended tire pressure within15 minutes, stop and call roadsideassistance.
WARNING: The power plug may gethot after use and should be handledcarefully when unplugging.
Check the air pressure of your tires asfollows:
1.Remove the valve cap from the tire valve.
2.Firmly screw the air compressor hoseonto the valve stem by turning clockwise.
3.Push and turn the dial clockwise to theair position.
4.If required, turn on the compressor andadjust the tire to the recommendedinflation pressure.
5.Unplug the hoses, re-install the valve capon the tire and return the kit to the rearof the vehicle.
What to do after the tire has beensealed
After using the kit to seal your tire, replacethe sealant canister. Sealant canisters andspare parts can be obtained at an authorizeddealer. Empty sealant canisters may bedisposed of at home. However, canisters stillcontaining liquid sealant should be disposedof in accordance with local waste disposalregulation.
Removal of the sealant canister from thekit
1.Unwrap the dual purpose hose (blacktube) from the compressor housing.

2.Unwrap the power cord.
3.Remove the back cover.
4.Rotate the sealant canister up 90degrees and pull away fromcasing/housing to remove.
Installation of the sealant canister to thekit
1.With the canister held perpendicular tothe housing, insert the canister nozzleinto the connector and push until seated.
2.Rotate the canister 90 degrees down intothe housing/casing.
3.Snap the back cover back into place.
4.Wrap the dual purpose hose (black tube)around the channel on the bottom of thehousing/casing.

WHAT IS THE TIRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM
The tire pressure monitoringsystem measures the vehicle's tirepressures. A warning lampilluminates if one or more tires aresignificantly underinflated or if there is asystem malfunction.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
WARNING: Under-inflation is themost common cause of tire failures andmay result in severe tire cracking, treadseparation or blowout, with unexpectedloss of vehicle control and increased riskof injury. Under-inflation increases sidewallflexing and rolling resistance, resulting in
heat buildup and internal damage to thetire. It also may result in unnecessary tirestress, irregular wear, loss of vehiclecontrol and accidents. A tire can lose upto half of its air pressure and not appearto be flat!
WARNING: To determine therequired pressure(s) for your vehicle, seethe Safety Compliance Certification Label(on the door hinge pillar, door-latch postor the door edge that meets the door-latchpost, next to the driver seat) or the TireLabel on the B-Pillar or the edge of thedriver door.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),should be checked monthly when cold andinflated to the inflation pressurerecommended by the vehicle manufactureron the vehicle placard or tire inflationpressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of adifferent size than the size indicated on thevehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label,you should determine the proper tire inflationpressure for those tires).
As an added safety feature, your vehicle hasbeen equipped with a Tire PressureMonitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates alow tire pressure telltale when one or moreof your tires is significantly under-inflated.Accordingly, when the low tire pressuretelltale illuminates, you should stop andcheck your tires as soon as possible, andinflate them to the proper pressure. Drivingon a significantly under-inflated tire causesthe tire to overheat and can lead to tirefailure. Under-inflation also reduces fuelefficiency and tire tread life, and may affectthe vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitutefor proper tire maintenance, and it is thedriver’s responsibility to maintain correct tirepressure, even if under-inflation has notreached the level to trigger illumination ofthe TPMS low tire pressure telltale.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
When the outside temperature dropssignificantly, the tire pressure could decreaseand activate the low tire pressure warninglamp.
The warning lamp could also illuminate whenyou use a spare wheel, or tire sealant fromthe inflator kit.
Note:Regularly checking the vehicle tirepressures can reduce the possibility for thewarning lamp to illuminate due to outsideair temperature changes.
Note:After you inflate the tires to therecommended pressure it could take up totwo minutes of driving over 20 mph (32 km/h)for the warning indicator to turn off.
