Inflate the tire to the pressure listed on the tire label located on the driver's door or the door jamb area. When the sealing compound is first added into the tire, the air pressure gauge reading on the compressor unit may indicate a higher value; this is normal and should be no reason for concern. The pressure will drop after about 30 seconds of operation. The tire pressure has to be checked with the compressor in the OFF position to get the correct tire pressure reading. 298 MKZ (CC9)
