Press the inflator switch to turn on the kit.

u

The compressor starts injecting sealant 
and air into the tire.

u

When the sealant injection is complete, 
continue to add air.

8.

After the air pressure reaches to specified 
pressure, turn off the kit.

u

To check the pressure, occasionally turn 
off the compressor and read the gauge.

u

Refer to the driver’s doorjamb label for 
the specified pressure.

Unplug the power plug from the accessory 
power socket.

Unscrew the sealant/air hose from the tire 
valve stem. Reinstall the valve cap.

Press the pressure relief button until the 
gauge returns to 0 psi (0 kPa).

The wheel surface must be clean to 
ensure the label adheres properly.

Injecting Sealant and Air

If the required air pressure is not reached within 10 
minutes, the tire may be too severely damaged for 
the kit to provide the necessary seal, and your vehicle 
will need to be towed.

See a dealer for a replacement sealant bottle and 
proper disposal of an empty bottle.

If the 12-Volt Battery Is Dead

Jump Starting Procedure

Turn off the power to electric devices, such as audio and lights. Turn off the power 
system, then open the hood.

1.

Open the cover on the positive 

+

 terminal.

2.

Connect the first jumper cable to your 
vehicle’s 12-volt battery 

+

 terminal.

3.

Connect the other end of the first jumper 
cable to the booster battery 

+

 terminal.

u

Use a 12-volt booster battery only.

u

When using an automotive battery 
charger to boost your 12-volt battery, 
select a lower charging voltage than 15-
volt. Check the charger manual for the 
proper setting.

4.

Connect the second jumper cable to the 
booster battery 

-

 terminal.

5.

Connect the other end of the second 
jumper cable to the upper torque mounting 
bolt as shown. Do not connect this jumper 
cable to any other part.

6.

If your vehicle is connected to another 
vehicle, start the assisting vehicle’s engine 
and increase its rpm slightly.

7.

Attempt to start your vehicle’s engine. If it 
turns over slowly, check that the jumper 
cables have good metal-to-metal contact.

1

Jump Starting Procedure

Securely attach the jumper cables clips so that they 
do not come off when the engine vibrates. Be careful 
not to tangle the jumper cables or allow the cable 
ends to touch each other while attaching or 
detaching the jumper cables.

12-volt battery performance degrades in cold 
conditions and may prevent the engine from starting.

3

WARNING

A 12-volt battery can explode if you do not 
follow the correct procedure, seriously 
injuring anyone nearby.

Keep all sparks, open flames, and smoking 
materials away from the 12-volt battery.
