The kit includes:
If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire and wheel damage by driving slowly to a level place. Turn on the hazard warning flashers. See Hazard Warning Flashers on page 6-3.
See If a Tire Goes Flat on page 10-55 for other important safety warnings.
Make sure the tire valve stem is positioned close to the ground so the hose will reach it.
See Power Outlets on page 5-6.If the vehicle has an accessory power outlet, do not use the cigarette lighter.
If the vehicle only has a cigarette lighter, use the cigarette lighter.
Do not pinch the power plug cord in the door or window.
The compressor will inflate the tire with air only.
The recommended inflation pressure can be found on the Tire and Loading Information label. See Tire Pressure on page 10-43.
The pressure gauge (7) may read higher than the actual tire pressure while the compressor is on. Turn the compressor off to get an accurate pressure reading. The compressor may be turned on/off until the correct pressure is reached.
If the tire is inflated higher than the recommended pressure, adjust the excess pressure by pressing the pressure deflation button (8) until the proper pressure reading is reached.
This option is only functional when using the air only hose (10).
Caution
If the recommended pressure cannot be reached after approximately 25 minutes, the vehicle should not be driven farther. The tire is too severely damaged and the tire sealant and compressor kit cannot inflate the tire. Remove the power plug from the accessory power outlet and unscrew the inflating hose from the tire valve. See Roadside Assistance Program on page 13-5.
Be careful while handling the compressor as it could be warm after usage.
The tire sealant and compressor kit has accessory adapters located in a compartment on the bottom of its housing that can be used to inflate air mattresses, balls, etc.

Tire Rotation
Tires should be rotated every 12 000 km (7,500 mi). The first rotation is the
most important.
See Maintenance Schedule on page 11-3.
Tires are rotated to achieve a more uniform wear for all tires.
Anytime unusual wear is noticed, rotate the tires as soon as possible, check
for proper tire inf ...
