IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

• The Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant Hose (6) are a one tire

application use and need to be replaced after each use.
Always replace these components immediately at your
original equipment vehicle dealer.

• When the Tire Service Kit sealant is in a liquid form,

clean water and a damp cloth will remove the material
from the vehicle or tire and wheel components. Once the
sealant dries, it can easily be peeled off and properly
discarded.

• For optimum performance, make sure the valve stem on

the wheel is free of debris before connecting the Tire
Service Kit.

• You can use the Tire Service Kit air pump to inflate

bicycle tires. The kit also comes with two needles,
located in the Accessory Storage Compartment (on the
bottom of the air pump) for inflating sport balls, rafts, or
similar inflatable items. However, use only the Air Pump
Hose (7) and make sure the Mode Select Knob (5) is in
the Air Mode when inflating such items to avoid inject-
ing sealant into them. The Tire Service Kit Sealant is only
intended to seal punctures less than 1/4 inch (6 mm)
diameter in the tread of your vehicle.

• Do not lift or carry the Tire Service Kit by the hoses.

WARNING!

Do not attempt to seal a tire on the side of the vehicle

closest to traffic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid
the danger of being hit when using the Tire Service
Kit.

Do not use Tire Service Kit or drive the vehicle under

the following circumstances:

– If the puncture in the tire tread is approximately

1/4 inch (6 mm) or larger.

– If the tire has any sidewall damage.
– If the tire has any damage from driving with

extremely low tire pressure.

– If the tire has any damage from driving on a flat

tire.

– If the wheel has any damage.
– If you are unsure of the condition of the tire or the

wheel.

WARNING! (Continued)

in injuries that are serious or fatal to you, your
passengers, and others around you.

Take care not to allow the contents of Tire Service Kit

to come in contact with hair, eyes, or clothing. Tire
Service Kit sealant is harmful if inhaled, swallowed,
or absorbed through the skin. It causes skin, eye, and
respiratory irritation. Flush immediately with plenty
of water if there is any contact with eyes or skin.
Change clothing as soon as possible, if there is any
contact with clothing.

Tire Service Kit Sealant solution contains latex. In

case of an allergic reaction or rash, consult a physi-
cian immediately. Keep Tire Service Kit out of reach
of children. If swallowed, rinse mouth immediately
with plenty of water and drink plenty of water. Do
not induce vomiting! Consult a physician immedi-
ately.

Sealing A Tire With Tire Service Kit

(A) Whenever You Stop To Use Tire Service Kit:

1. Pull over to a safe location and turn on the vehicle’s

Hazard Warning flashers.

2. Verify that the valve stem (on the wheel with the

deflated tire) is in a position that is near to the ground.
This will allow the Tire Service Kit Hoses (6) and (7) to
reach the valve stem and keep the Tire Service Kit flat on
the ground. This will provide the best positioning of the
kit when injecting the sealant into the deflated tire and
running the air pump. Move the vehicle as necessary to
place the valve stem in this position before proceeding.

3. Place the transmission in PARK (auto transmission) or in

Gear (manual transmission) and place the ignition in the
OFF position.

4. Apply the parking brake.

(B) Setting Up To Use Tire Service Kit:

1. Push in the Mode Select Knob (5) and turn to the Sealant

Mode position.

2. Uncoil the Sealant Hose (6) and then remove the cap

from the fitting at the end of the hose.

3. Place the Tire Service Kit flat on the ground next to the

deflated tire.

4. Remove the cap from the valve stem and then screw the

fitting at the end of the Sealant Hose (6) onto the valve
stem.

428

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

5. Uncoil the Power Plug (8) and insert the plug into the

vehicle’s 12 Volt power outlet.

NOTE:

Do not remove foreign objects (e.g., screws or

nails) from the tire.

(C) Injecting Tire Service Kit Sealant Into The
Deflated Tire:
• Always start the engine before turning ON the Tire

Service Kit.

NOTE:

Manual transmission vehicles must have the park-

ing brake engaged and the gear selector in NEUTRAL.
• After pushing the Power Button (4), the sealant (white

fluid) will flow from the Sealant Bottle (1) through the
Sealant Hose (6) and into the tire.

NOTE:

Sealant may leak out through the puncture in the

tire.

If the sealant (white fluid) does not flow within 0 – 10
seconds through the Sealant Hose (6):

1. Push the Power Button (4) to turn Off the Tire Service

Kit. Disconnect the Sealant Hose (6) from the valve stem.
Make sure the valve stem is free of debris. Reconnect the
Sealant Hose (6) to the valve stem. Check that the Mode

Select Knob (5) is in the Sealant Mode position and not
Air Mode. Push the Power Button (4) to turn On the Tire
Service Kit.

2. Connect the Power Plug (8) to a different 12 Volt power

outlet in your vehicle or another vehicle, if available.

3. The Sealant Bottle (1) may be empty due to previous

use. Call for assistance.

NOTE:

If the Mode Select Knob (5) is on Air Mode and the

pump is operating, air will dispense from the Air Pump
Hose (7) only, not the Sealant Hose (6).

If the sealant (white fluid) does flow through the Sealant
Hose (6):

1. Continue to operate the pump until sealant is no longer

flowing through the hose (typically takes 30 - 70 sec-
onds). As the sealant flows through the Sealant Hose (6),
the Pressure Gauge (3) can read as high as 70 psi (4.8
Bar). The Pressure Gauge (3) will decrease quickly from
approximately 70 psi (4.8 Bar) to the actual tire pressure
when the Sealant Bottle (1) is empty.

2. The pump will start to inject air into the tire immedi-

ately after the Sealant Bottle (1) is empty. Continue to
operate the pump and inflate the tire to the pressure
indicated on the tire pressure label on the driver-side
latch pillar (recommended pressure). Check the tire
pressure by looking at the Pressure Gauge (3).

If the tire does not inflate to at least 26 psi (1.8 Bar)
pressure within 15 minutes:

storage location. Quickly proceed to (D) “Drive Ve-
hicle.”

CAUTION!

The metal end fitting from Power Plug (8) may get

hot after use, so it should be handled carefully.

Failure to reinstall the cap on the fitting at the end of

the Sealant Hose (6) can result in sealant contacting
your skin, clothing, and the vehicle’s interior. It can
also result in sealant contacting internal Tire Service
Kit components which may cause permanent damage
to the kit.

(D) Drive Vehicle:

Immediately after injecting sealant and inflating the tire,
drive the vehicle 5 miles (8 km) or ten minutes to ensure
distribution of the Tire Service Kit Sealant within the tire.
Do not exceed 55 mph (90 km/h).

JUMP STARTING

If your vehicle has a discharged battery, it can be jump
started using a set of jumper cables and a battery in another
vehicle or by using a portable battery booster pack. Jump
starting can be dangerous if done improperly, so please
follow the procedures in this section carefully.

NOTE:

When using a portable battery booster pack, follow

the manufacturer’s operating instructions and precautions.

WARNING!

Do not attempt jump starting if the battery is frozen. It
could rupture or explode and cause personal injury.

CAUTION!

Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other
booster source with a system voltage greater than 12
Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor, alternator
or electrical system may occur.

432

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

Preparations For Jump Start

The battery in your vehicle is located in the front of the
engine compartment, behind the left headlight assembly.

WARNING!

Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever

the hood is raised. It can start anytime the ignition
switch is ON. You can be injured by moving fan blades.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

Remove any metal jewelry such as rings, watch

bands and bracelets that could make an inadvertent
electrical contact. You could be seriously injured.

Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your

skin or eyes and generate hydrogen gas which is
flammable and explosive. Keep open flames or
sparks away from the battery.

1. Apply the parking brake, shift the automatic transmis-

sion into PARK and turn the ignition to LOCK.

2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical

accessories.

3. If using another vehicle to jump start the battery, park

the vehicle within the jumper cables reach, apply the
parking brake and make sure the ignition is OFF.

WARNING!

Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could
establish a ground connection and personal injury
could result.

Jump Starting Procedure

WARNING!

Failure to follow this jump starting procedure could
result in personal injury or property damage due to
battery explosion.

CAUTION!

Failure to follow these procedures could result in
damage to the charging system of the booster vehicle
or the discharged vehicle.

Connecting The Jumper Cables

1. Connect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable to the

positive (+) post of the discharged vehicle.

2. Connect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper

cable to the positive (+) post of the booster battery.

3. Connect the negative (-) end of the jumper cable to the

negative (-) post of the booster battery.

4. Connect the opposite end of the negative (-) jumper

cable to a good engine ground (exposed metal part of
the discharged vehicle’s engine) away from the battery
and the fuel injection system.

WARNING!

Do not connect the jumper cable to the negative (-) post
of the discharged battery. The resulting electrical spark
could cause the battery to explode and could result in
personal injury. Only use the specific ground point, do
not use any other exposed metal parts.

5. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster

battery, let the engine idle for a few minutes, and then
start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged
battery.

6. Once the engine is started, remove the jumper cables in

the reverse sequence:

Disconnecting The Jumper Cables

1. Disconnect the negative (-) end of the jumper cable from

the engine ground of the vehicle with the discharged
battery.

2. Disconnect the opposite end of the negative (-) jumper

cable from the negative (-) post of the booster battery.

3. Disconnect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable from

the positive (+) post of the booster battery.

434

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

4. Disconnect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper

cable from the positive (+) post of the vehicle with the
discharged battery.

If frequent jump starting is required to start your vehicle,
you should have the battery and charging system in-
spected at an authorized dealer.

CAUTION!

Accessories plugged into the vehicle power outlets
draw power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not
in use (i.e., cellular devices, etc.). Eventually, if plugged
in long enough without engine operation, the vehicle’s
battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade battery
life and/or prevent the engine from starting.

REFUELING IN EMERGENCY

The funnel for the Cap-Less Fuel System is located in the
spare tire storage area. If your vehicle is out of fuel and an
auxiliary fuel can is needed, insert the funnel into the filler
neck and proceed to fill the vehicle.

For more information on the Cap-Less Fuel System refer to
“Refueling The Vehicle” in “Starting And Operating”.

IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS

In any of the following situations, you can reduce the
potential for overheating your engine by taking the appro-
priate action.
• On the highways — slow down.
• In city traffic — while stopped, place the transmission in

NEUTRAL, but do not increase engine idle speed.

CAUTION!

Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your
vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads “H,” pull over
and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air
conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back
into the normal range. If the pointer remains on the
“H” and you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine
off immediately and call for service.

NOTE:

There are steps that you can take to slow down an

impending overheat condition:
• If your Air Conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C

system adds heat to the engine cooling system and
turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.
