Your vehicle may have 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. The engine must be running and the gearshift lever must be in PARK (P) for the inflator to operate.


Object Number: 1422074  Size: A3

The accessory inflator is located in the rear compartment on the passenger's side of the vehicle.


Object Number: 928997  Size: A3

The accessory inflator kit includes a hose and three nozzle adapters.

To use the accessory inflator, do the following:

  1. Attach the appropriate nozzle adapter to the end of the hose.
  2. Attach that end of the hose to the object you wish to inflate.
  3. Remove the dust cover and attach the hose to the outlet.

  4. Object Number: 929017  Size: B3
  5. The accessory inflator hose also has a built-in air pressure gage. As soon as you start to inflate an object it will automatically read the current pressure.
  6. Press and release the switch to turn the accessory inflator on. The indicator light will remain on while the inflator is running.

When you are finished using the inflator, press and release the switch to turn it off. Place the inflator kit tools and the hose back in the pouch.

If your vehicle is equipped with the air suspension system, load leveling will not function with the inflator hose attached to the inflator outlet.

Caution: Inflating something too much can make it explode, and you or others could be injured. Be sure to read the inflator instructions, and inflate any object only to its recommended pressure.
