tire pressure has to be checked with the compressor in the OFF
position to get the correct tire pressure reading.

WARNING: Do not stand directly over the temporary mobility
kit while inflating the tire. If you notice any unusual bulges or

deformations in the tire’s sidewall during inflation, stop and call
roadside assistance.

WARNING: If the tire doesn’t inflate to the recommended tire
pressure within 15 minutes, stop and call roadside assistance.

9. When the recommended tire pressure is reached, turn off the kit by
pressing the on/off button; disconnect the kit from the tire valve and the
power point. Re-install the valve cap on the tire valve, place the tube cap
on the metal connector, and return the kit to the stowage area.

10. Immediately and cautiously, drive the vehicle 4 miles (6 km)
to distribute the sealant evenly inside the tire. Do not exceed
50 mph (80 km/h).

Note: If you experience any unusual vibration, ride disturbance or
noise while driving, reduce your speed until you can safely pull off to
the side of the road to call for roadside assistance. Do not proceed
to the second stage of this operation.

11. After 4 miles (6 km), stop and check the tire pressure. See Second
stage: Checking tire pressure.

Second stage: Checking tire pressure

Check the air pressure of your tires as follows:

1. Remove the valve cap from the tire valve.

WARNING: If you are proceeding from the First stage:
Reinflating the tire with sealing compound and air
section

and have injected sealant in the tire and the pressure is below 20 psi
(1.4 bar), stop and call roadside assistance. If tire pressure is
above 20 psi (1.4 bar), continue to the next step.
