Accessory Inflator
Your vehicle may be equipped with an accessory
inflator system. You can inflate things like basketballs
and bicycle tires. You can also use it to bring your
tire pressure up to the proper pressure. It is not
designed to inflate large objects which will require more
than five minutes to inflate, such as an air mattress.
The accessory inflator is
located in the rear
compartment on the
driver’s side of the vehicle
behind an access cover,
near the liftgate opening.
To remove the cover, push in on the tab to access the
inflator.
You may have an air inflator kit that is located in the
glove compartment. It includes a 22 ft (6.7 m) hose with
three nozzle adapters.
To use the accessory inflator, do the following:
1. Attach the appropriate nozzle adapter to the end of
the hose if required.
2. Attach that end of the hose to the object you wish
to inflate.
3. Attach the other end of the hose to the outlet.
4. Press and release the switch to turn the air inflator
on. The indicator light will remain on when the
inflator is running.
The system has an internal clock to prevent
overheating. The system will allow about five
minutes of running time, then the compressor will
stop. The indicator light will then begin to flash.
When the indicator is off, the inflator can be started
again by pressing the switch. If the compressor
is still hot, it may only run for a short time before
shutting off again.
5. Press and release the switch to turn the inflator off.
Place the inflator kit tools in the pouch and store it in
its proper location. Remove the inflator hose from
the outlet during loading and unloading. Load leveling
will not function with the inflator hose attached to
the inflator outlet. See “Electronically Controlled Air
Suspension System” under Loading Your Vehicle
