  2. Connect between compressor and the vehicle power outlet using the cable and connectors.

  1. Make the ENGINE START/STOP button position on or ignition switch position on.
  2. Switch on the compressor and let it run for approximately 5 ~ 7 minutes to fill the sealant up to proper pressure. (refer to "Tires and wheels"). The inflation pressure of the tire after filling is unimportant and will be checked/corrected later. Be careful not to overinflate the tire and stay away from the tire when filling it.

    When the tire and wheel are damaged, do not use Tire Mobility Kit for your safety.

If the tire pressure is below 26psi(180kPa), do not drive the vehicle.

The tire may cause accident.

  1. Switch off the compressor.
  2. Detach the sealant filling hoses from the sealant bottle connector and from the tire valve. After using, leave the sealant bottle and the compressor attached together.

Return the TMK to its storage location in the vehicle.
