Tire sealing system* – inflating tires
The tire sealing system can be used to inflate
the tires.
WARNING
CAUTION
The compressor should not be used for
more than 10 minutes at a time to avoid
overheating.
The vehicle’s engine should be running
when the tire sealing system is used to
avoid battery drain. Therefore, be sure
the vehicle is parked in a well ventilated
place, or outdoors, before using the
system. The parking brake should be
securely applied and the gear selector
should be in the P (park) position.

To do so:
1. Park the car in a safe place.
9. Turn off the compressor (press the on/off
switch to position 0) when the correct
inflation pressure has been reached.
2. The compressor should be switched off.
Ensure that the on/off switch is in position
0 (the 0 side of the switch should be
pressed down).
10. Unscrew the hose from the tire’s inflation
valve and reinstall the valve cap.
Children should never be left unatten-
ded in the vehicle when the engine is
running.
3. Take out the electrical wire and hose.
CAUTION
4. Remove the valve cap from the tire’s
inflation valve and screw the hose con-
nector onto the valve as tightly as possi-
ble by hand.
After inflating the tires, always reinstall
the valve cap to help avoid damage to
the valve from dirt, gravel, etc.
•
7. Check the tire’s inflation pressure on the
gauge. Switch off the compressor briefly
to get a clear reading from the pressure
gauge.
Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps
could corrode and become difficult to
remove.
•
5. Connect the electrical wire to the nearest
12-volt socket in the vehicle.
8. Refer to the tire inflation table in this
chapter for the correct inflation pressure.
If the tire needs to be inflated, start the
tire sealing system’s compressor (press
the on/off switch to position I). If neces-
sary, release air from the tire by turning
the air release knob counterclockwise.
6. Start the vehicle’s engine.
11. Disconnect the electrical wire from the
12-volt socket.
