Accessory Inflator Your vehicle may have an accessory 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. The engine must be running and the gearshift lever must be in PARK (P) for the inflator to operate. The accessory inflator is located in the rear compartment on the passenger's side of the vehicle. The accessory inflator kit includes a hose and three nozzle adapters. To use the accessory inflator, do the following: 1. Attach the appropriate nozzle adapter to the end of the hose. 2. Attach that end of the hose to the object you wish to inflate. 5-76
