Tires, Wheels and Loading Note: When the sealing compound is first added into the tire, the air pressure gauge reading (7) on the compressor unit may increase up to 90 psi; this is normal and should be no reason for concern. The pressure will drop after about 30 seconds of operation. Do not stand next to the damaged tire while it is inflating. If you notice any unusual bulges or deformations in the tire's sidewall during inflation, stop the air compressor and deflate the tire using the pressure release valve. 8. Inflate the tire for nine minutes or until the pressure reaches 22 psi, then turn the air compressor off by pressing the "O" side of the orange button. Note: If the damaged tire does not reach 22 psi within nine minutes, the tire is too severely damaged and the car must not be driven. Call for roadside assistance. 9. Once the tire pressure reaches 22 psi, quickly unscrew the hose from the tire's air valve and reinstall the valve cap. Unplug the electrical plug from the power point. Turn the sealing compound container back to its original position and close the safety latch. Stow the inflation kit in an easily accessible place since you will need it to check the tire's air pressure again in the second stage of this operation. 10. Immediately, and cautiously, drive the vehicle a short distance (approximately two miles) to activate the sealing compound within the damaged tire. Do not exceed 50 mph. Note: If you experience any unusual vibration, ride disturbance or noise while driving, reduce your speed until you can safely pull off to the side of the road to call for roadside assistance. Do not proceed to the second stage of this operation. 76 2006 GT (gto) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA_English (fus)
