10. Inflate the tire to the recommended inflation
pressure, found on the Tire and Loading Information
label. See
Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 5-50
,
The pressure gage (D) reads slightly high while the
compressor is on. Turn the compressor off to get an
accurate reading. The compressor may be turned
on and off until the correct pressure is reached.
Notice:
If the recommended pressure cannot be
reached after approximately 25 minutes, the vehicle
should not be driven. The tire is too severely
damaged and the tire sealant and compressor kit
cannot inflate the tire. Remove the air compressor
accessory plug from the accessory power outlet and
unscrew the sealant/air hose from the tire valve or
tire pressure monitoring sensor valve. See
Assistance Program on page 7-7
.
11. Turn the compressor off by pushing the
On/Off button (F) 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 11 through 17 must be done right after Step 10.
Be careful while handling the tire sealant and
compressor kit as they could be hot after usage.
12. Unplug the air compressor accessory plug (G)
from the accessory power outlet in the vehicle.
13. Disconnect the sealant/air hose (C) from the tire
valve stem, by turning it counterclockwise, and
replace the tire valve stem cap.
14. Wrap the sealant/air hose (C) around the air
compressor channel to stow it in its original location.
15. Stow the air compressor accessory plug (G) back
in the air compressor. To do this, wrap the air
compressor accessory plug, snap in the plug,
and then push in the bottom and then the top of
the wrapped air compressor accessory plug.
16. If the flat tire was
able to be inflated to
the recommended
inflation pressure,
remove the maximum
speed label from
the sealant canister.
17. Place it in a highly visible location such as the
inside of the upper left corner of the windshield
or to the face of the radio/clock.
The maximum speed label reminds you to drive
cautiously and not to exceed 55 mph (90 km/h) until
you have the damaged tire inspected and repaired.
