Insert the power plug (2) into the power point on the instrument panel. 8. Turn the ignition key to the ON/RUN position. 9. Press the switch (3) on the air pump to 1. The air pump should start to inflate the tire. 10. After five minutes, the tire should be inflated to at least 26 psi (1.8 bar) on the pressure gauge (4). 11. If the tire doesn't inflate to this level, press the air pump switch (3) to 0, disconnect the TIREFIT system from the tire, and drive the vehicle back and forth approximately 30 feet (9.1 m) to distribute the sealant more evenly within the tire. 12. Attach the air pump hose (1) directly to the tire, press the switch (3) to 1, and inflate the tire again. NOTE: If a tire pressure of 26 psi (1.8 bar) is not reached after five minutes, the tire is too badly damaged. Do not attempt to drive the vehicle further, and call for assistance. 13. If a tire pressure of 26 psi (1.8 bar) is obtained, press the air pump switch (3) to 0, turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position, and disconnect the TIREFIT system. 14. Drive the vehicle for about 10 minutes to ensure optimum distribution of the tire sealant within the tire. 15. Check the pressure in the tire. If the pressure is above 19 psi (1.3 bar), inflate the tire to the pressure indicated on the tire pressure label on the driver side latch pillar. 16. Have the tire inspected at the earliest opportunity at an authorized dealer or tire service center. NOTE: • If a pressure of at least 19 psi (1.3 bar) cannot be maintained in the tire, the tire is too badly damaged. Do not attempt to drive the vehicle further, and call for assistance. • Do not operate the electric air pump for more than eight minutes to avoid overheating. The air pump may be used again once it has cooled down.
