Checking And Restoring Tire Pressure
The compressor can also be used to check
and, if necessary, restore the tire pressure.
Proceed as follows:
1. Make sure that the power switch is in the
(off) O position.
2. Connect the hose directly to the valve on
the tire to be inflated.
3. Insert the plug into the socket in the
passenger compartment or in the cargo
area and start the engine.
4. Start the compressor by putting the power
switch to (on) I. As soon as the correct
pressure is reached, put the power switch
to (off) O.
Air Compressor And Components
If the tire is over inflated, reduce the pressure
by pushing the PSI/BAR button and releasing
it when the correct pressure is reached.
JUMP STARTING
If your vehicle has a discharged battery, it can
be jump started using a set of jumper cables
and a battery in another vehicle, or by using a
portable battery booster pack. Jump starting
can be dangerous if done improperly, so
please follow the procedures in this section
carefully.
NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster pack,
follow the manufacturer's operating instruc

tions and precautions.
Remote Battery Connection Posts
The remote posts of the battery for jump
starting can be found inside the engine
compartment. The battery itself is located in
the luggage compartment.

WARNING!
Do not attempt jump starting if the battery is
frozen. It could rupture or explode and
cause personal injury.

Do not use a portable battery booster pack
or any other booster source with a system
voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to
the battery, starter motor, alternator or
