5. Remove the protective cap
᭺
A of the hose
and screw the hose securely onto the tire
valve. Make sure that the pressure release
valve
᭺
B is securely tightened. Make sure that
the air compressor switch is in the OFF (O)
position, and then insert the power plug into
the power outlet in the vehicle.
6. Push the power switch to the “ACC” position.
Then turn the compressor switch to the ON
(
מ) position and inflate the tire up to the
pressure that is specified on the Tire and
Loading Information label affixed to the driv-
er’s side center pillar if possible, or to the
minimum of 26 psi (180 kPa). Turn the air
compressor off briefly in order to check the
tire pressure with the pressure gauge.
If the tire is inflated to higher than the specified
pressure, lower the tire pressure by releasing
air with the pressure release valve.
NOTE:
The compressor tire pressure gauge may
show a pressure reading of 87 psi (600
kPa) for about 30 seconds while inflating
the tire. The pressure gauge is indicating
the pressure inside the sealant can. When
the sealant has been injected into the tire
the pressure gauge will drop and indicate
actual tire pressure.
WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury while us-
ing the emergency tire puncture repair kit:
• Securely tighten the compressor hose
to the tire valve. Failure to do so can
cause the sealant to spray into the air
and get into your eyes or on the skin.
• Do not stand directly beside the dam-
aged tire while it is being inflated be-
cause of the risk of the rupture. If there
are any cracks or bumps, turn the com-
pressor off immediately.
If the tire pressure does not increase to 26 psi
(180 kPa) within 10 minutes, the tire may
be seriously damaged and the tire cannot
be repaired with this tire repair kit. Con-
tact a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.
