NOTE:
Always follow applicable state and provincial laws. Contact
state and provincial Highway Safety offices for additional
details.
To use your Tire Inflator Kit, proceed as follows:
1. Stop the vehicle in a position where you can repair
the tire safely. Activate the Hazard Warning Flashers
to make other drivers aware of your presence.
2. If equipped, use all available safety equipment
required by law.
3. Verify that the valve stem (on the wheel with the
deflated tire) is in a position that is near to the
ground. This will allow the Tire Inflator Kit hoses to
reach the valve stem and keep the tire repair kit flat
on the ground.
4. Place the gear selector to PARK (P).
5. Apply the Electric Park Brake and cycle the
engine OFF.
6. Insert the sealant cartridge containing the sealing
fluid in the proper compressor holder, pushing down
hard. Unscrew the tire valve cap, take out the filler
tube and tighten the fitting on the tire valve.
WARNING!
The information required by current legislation is
shown on the kit cartridge label. Read the cartridge
label before use, avoid improper use.
Do not attempt to seal a tire on the side of the
vehicle closest to traffic. Pull far enough off the
road to avoid the danger of being hit when using
the Tire Service Kit.
Do not remove foreign bodies from the tire.
Do not leave the compressor running for more than
20 minutes, this may cause overheating.
