CAUTION

ØBefore pulling out the compressor plug from the electrical socket, make sure the compressor power switch is off.

ØThe compressor turns on and off with the push-button switch.

16.Turn the compressor switch on and inflate the tire carefully to the correct inflation pressure.

WARNING

Never operate the compressor above

300kPa (3.1 kgf/cm2, 3 bar, 43.5 psi):

Operating the compressor above 300 kPa (3.1 kgf/cm2, 3 bar, 43.5 psi) is dangerous. When the inflation

pressure rises above 300 kPa (3.1 kgf/cm2, 3 bar, 43.5 psi), heated air will be exhausted from the back of the compressor and you could be burned.

CAUTION

If the compressor operates slowly or becomes hot, it indicates overheating. Turn the compressor off immediately and leave it turned off for 30 minutes or longer.

NOTE

lCheck the tire inflation pressure label (driver's door frame) for the correct tire

inflation pressure.

lDo not use the compressor for longer than 10 minutes because using the compressor

for long periods could damage it.

lIf the tire does not inflate, repair of the tire may not be possible. If the tire does not reach the correct inflation pressure within a 10-minute period, it probably has received more extensive damage. When this happens, the emergency flat tire repair kit cannot be

used to repair the tire. Contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

lIf the tire has been over-inflated, loosen the screw cap on the compressor and bleed some of the air out.

17.When the tire has been inflated to the proper inflation pressure, turn the compressor switch off and remove the compressor hose from the tire valve.
