Many manufacturers now equip their vehicles with an inflation kit instead of a spare wheel and the associated tool kit, offering it as an accessory; the inflation kit is effective only in the case of a puncture and not in the event of tyre failure (for example, due to a pothole); the kit includes a compressor and a canister of a special liquid for internally repairing the puncture; proceed by screwing the canister into the designated slot on the compressor, then connect the compressor's power cable to the cigarette lighter socket and attach the hose to the wheel valve; activate the compressor: during inflation, it is advisable to keep the car's engine running to avoid draining the battery; at the end of inflation, check the pressure with the appropriate gauge and disconnect the compressor.
