If a tire inflation pressure of at least
200 kpa (2.0 bar, 29 psi) is not attained,
turn off the electric air pump by
pressing OFF on electric air pump
switch ?.
X
Unscrew the end of filler hose ? from
tire valve C.

WARNING
If a tire inflation pressure of
200 kPa (2.0 bar, 29 psi) is not attained, the

sealant to provide a reliable tire repair.
In this case, the tire sealant cannot
properly seal the tire.
Do not drive the vehicle.
Contact the nearest smart center for
assistance or call Roadside Assistance.
