Inflating tires with the puncture repair compressor

Your vehicle's tires can be inflated with the compressor that is included in the temporary puncture repair kit.

Make sure the compressor power button is in the off position before starting.

Unscrew the valve cap from the tire and attach the air hose to the tire air valve. Screw the connector as far down the thread as possible.
Make sure that the pressure reducing valve on the air hose is fully screwed in.
Connect the compressor to the vehicle's 12 V outlet and start the vehicle.

 Warning

Inhaling vehicle exhaust fumes could result in danger to life. Never leave the engine running in sealed areas or areas without sufficient ventilation.

 Important

While using one of the vehicle's 12 V outlets to power the compressor, make sure that it's the only outlet in use. Do not use the other 12 V outlet.
Start the compressor by pressing the power button.

 Important

To avoid overheating, do not run the compressor for more than 10 minutes at a time.
Check the tire pressure on the compressor's pressure gauge1. Use the pressure-reducing valve if the pressure is too high.
Turn off the compressor and unplug it from the 12 V socket.
Unscrew the air hose from the tire.
Replace the tire valve cap.
Store a new reference value in the tire pressure monitoring system if needed.

Return the kit to its storage location.
