Checking tyre inflation pressure

Operation

  1. After driving approximately 7–10 km (4–6 miles, or approximately 10 minutes), stop the vehicle in a safe, level place.

  2. Connect the filling hose directly to the tyre valve.

  3. Connect the power outlet connector.

  4. Adjust the tyre inflation pressure to the specified value.

    • Turn the compressor on to increase the inflation pressure. Turn the compressor off briefly to check the current inflation pressure.

    • Press the compressor valve to reduce the inflation pressure.

WARNING

  • Do not let the compressor run for more than 10 minutes, otherwise the device will overheat and may be damaged.

  • The tyre inflation pressure must be inflated to the proper pressure (Refer to More Details). If it is not, do not continue driving. Call for road side service or towing.

CAUTION

  • If the inflation pressure is not maintained, drive the vehicle a second time, refer to More Details. Then repeat steps 1 to 4.

  • Use of the TMK may be ineffectual for tyre damage larger than approximately 4 mm (0.16 inches).

  • We recommend that you contact a professional workshop if the tyre cannot be made roadworthy with the Tyre Mobility Kit.

NOTICE

When reinstalling the repaired or replaced tyre and wheel on the vehicle, tighten the wheel lug nut to 11–13 kgf·m (79–94 lbf·ft).
