6. Start the engine.
WARNING
When using the temporary
mobility kit, leave the engine
running so the compressor operation
does not drain the vehicle’s battery. Do
not leave the engine running if the area
is not well-ventilated / outdoors. Do
not leave the engine running if the car
is parked over dry grass or other dry
ground cover. The emission system
heats up the engine compartment and
exhaust system which can start a fire.
7. Turn dial (1) counterclockwise to the
sealant position. Turn on the kit by
pressing the On/Off button (2).
WARNINGS
Do not stand directly over the
TMK while inflating the tyre. If you
notice any unusual bulges or
deformations in the tyre’s sidewall
during inflation, stop and call for qualified
recovery service assistance.
Never leave the temporary
mobility kit unattended while it is
operating.
Keep the TMK away from
children.
To help prevent the TMK
compressor from overheating,
do not allow the compressor to operate
continuously for more than 15 minutes.
8. Inflate the tyre to the pressure listed
on the tyre label located in the glove
box.
WARNING
If, during the repair procedure,
the tyre does not inflate to the
recommended pressure within fifteen
minutes, stop and call for qualified
recovery service assistance.
Note: When the sealing compound is
first added into the tyre, the air pressure
gauge reading on the compressor unit
may indicate a higher value; this is normal
and should be no reason for concern.
The pressure will drop after about 30
seconds of operation. The tyre pressure
has to be checked with the compressor
in the OFF position to get the correct tyre
pressure reading.
9. When the recommended tyre
pressure is reached, turn off the
kit by pressing the On/Off button;
disconnect the kit from the tyre
valve and the power point. Re-install
the valve cap on the tyre valve,
place the tube cap on the metal
connector, and return the kit to the
stowage area.
