Accessory Inflator Your vehicle may be equipped with an air inflator system. You can inflate things like basketballs and bicycle tires. You can also use it to bring your tire pressure up to the proper pressure. It is not designed to inflate large objects which will require more than five minutes to inflate, such as an air mattress. The air inflator is located in the rear compartment on the passenger's side of the vehicle behind an access cover. To remove the cover, pull the two tabs on the cover and pull it off. You may have an air inflator kit that is located in the glove compartment. The kit includes a 22 ft (6.7 m) hose with three nozzle adapters. To use the air inflator attach the appropriate nozzle adapter to the end of the hose if required. Then attach that end of the hose to the object you wish to inflate. Attach the other end of the hose to the outlet. Press and release the switch to turn the air inflator on. The indicator light will remain on when the inflator is running. The system has an internal clock to prevent overheating. The system will allow about five minutes of running time, then the compressor will stop. The indicator light will then begin to flash. When the indicator is off, the inflator can be started again by pressing the switch. If the compressor is still hot, it may only run for a short time before shutting off again. 5-76
