Wheels and Tires 8. Inflate the tire to the pressure specified by the tire label located on the driver door or the door jamb area. While the sealant compound is being pumped into the tire, the air pressure gauge will indicate a pressure above the actual tire pressure. This is normal and should be no reason for concern. The pressure gauge will provide a correct tire pressure reading after about 30 seconds of operation. The tire pressure has to be checked with the compressor in the off position to get an accurate tire pressure reading. 9. When the recommended tire pressure is reached, turn off the kit by pressing the on/off button. Disconnect the kit from the tire valve and the power point. Re-install the valve cap on the tire valve, place the tube cap on the metal connector, and return the kit to the stowage area 10. Immediately and cautiously, drive the vehicle 4 miles (6 kilometers) to distribute the sealant evenly inside the tire. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h). 11. After 4 miles (6 kilometers), stop and check the tire pressure. See Second stage: Checking tire pressure. 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. Note: Do not proceed to the second stage of this operation. E144924 7. Push and turn dial (A) counterclockwise to the sealant position. Turn on the kit by pressing the on/off button (B). Second Stage: Checking Tire Pressure WARNINGS If you are proceeding from the First stage: Re-inflating the tire with sealing compound and air section and have injected sealant in the tire and the pressure is below 20 psi (1.4 bar), stop and call roadside assistance. If tire pressure is above 20 psi (1.4 bar), continue to the next step. The power plug may get hot after use and should be handled carefully while unplugging. Check the air pressure of your tires as follows: E144621 314 MKZ (), enUSA
