7. Plug the air compressor accessory plug (C) into the
accessory power outlet in the vehicle. See
Accessory Power Outlet(s) on page 3-16 .

must be running while using the air compressor.
{
CAUTION:
Overinflation could cause the tire to rupture,
and you or others could be injured. Be sure to
read the inflator instructions, and inflate the
tire to its recommended pressure. Do not
exceed 36 psi (248 kPa).
9. Push the On/Off switch (D) to the I (on) position.
The tire sealant and compressor kit will inject
sealant and air into the tire.
The pressure gage (E) will initially show a high
pressure while the compressor pushes the sealant
into the tire. Once the sealant is completely
dispersed into the tire, the pressure will quickly drop
and start to rise again as the tire inflates with air only.
10. Inflate the tire to the recommended inflation
pressure using the air pressure gage (E) on the top
of the unit. The recommended inflation pressure
can be found on the Tire and Loading Information
label. See
Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 5-19 .
The pressure gage reading is slightly high while the
compressor is on. Turn the compressor off to get
an accurate pressure reading. The compressor may
be turned on and off until the correct pressure is
reached.
Notice: If the recommended pressure cannot be
reached after 15 minutes, the vehicle should not be
driven farther. Damage to the tire is severe and
the sealant will not be effective. Remove the
air compressor plug from the accessory power
outlet and unscrew the inflating hose from the tire
valve. See
Roadside Assistance Program on
page 7-2 for more information.
11. Turn the compressor off by pushing the On/Off (D)
switch to the I (off) position.
The tire is not sealed and will continue to leak air until
the vehicle is driven and the sealant is distributed in
the tire.
Steps 13 through 22 must be done right after Step 12
12. Unplug the air compressor accessory plug (C) from
the accessory power outlet in the vehicle.
