inflation pressure using the tire pressure
gauge on the air compressor. If the tire
inflation pressure is lower than the speci

mpressor on and wait until it reaches
the specified tire inflation pressure.
The Tire Service Kit is completed success-
fully if the tire inflation pressure does not
de
crease. Carefully drive the vehicle to the
nearest authorized dealer immediately and
have the flat tire replaced. Replacement
with a new tire is recommended. If the tire
is to be repaired or reused, consult an
authorized dealer.
NOTE:
If an emergency flat tire repair has been
performed using the Tire Service Kit, FCA
recommends that the tire be replaced with
a new one as soon as possible. If the tire
is to be repaired or reused, contact an
authorized dealer.
The wheel can be reused if the sealant
adhering to it is removed. However,
replace the valve with a new one.
