TEMPORARY MOBILITY KIT
Your vehicle is equipped with a temporary mobility kit (located in the
spare tire well in the trunk). The temporary mobility kit consists of an
air compressor to reinflate the tire and a sealing compound that will
effectively seal most punctures caused by nails or similar objects. This
kit will provide a temporary seal allowing you to drive your vehicle up to
120 miles (193 km) at a maximum speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
Note:The temporary mobility kit is to be used for one tire only. See
your authorized dealer for additional kits.
General information
Failure to follow these guidelines could result in an increased
risk of loss of vehicle control, injury or death.
Do not attempt to repair punctures larger than
1 4inch (6.4 mm) or
damage to the tire’s sidewall. The tire may not completely seal.
Note:Do not use the temporary mobility kit if a tire has become
severely damaged by driving the vehicle with a tire that has insufficient
air pressure or is totally flat. Only punctured areas located within the tire
tread can be sealed with the temporary mobility kit.
Loss of air pressure may adversely affect tire performance. For this
reason:
•Do notdrive the vehicle above 50 mph (80 km/h).

•Do notdrive farther than 120 miles (193 km). Drive only to the
closest authorized dealer or tire dealer.
•Drive carefully and avoid abrupt steering maneuvers.
•Periodically monitor tire inflation pressure in the affected tire; if the
tire is losing pressure, have the vehicle towed.
•Read the information in theTips for use of the temporary mobility
kitsection to ensure safe operation of the temporary mobility kit and
your vehicle.
Tips for use of the temporary mobility kit
Read the following list of tips to ensure safe operation of the temporary
mobility kit:
•Before operating the temporary mobility kit, make sure your vehicle is
safely off the road and away from moving traffic.
•Always set the parking brake to ensure the vehicle doesn’t move
unexpectedly.
•Do not remove any foreign objects, such as nails or screws, from the
tire.
•When using the temporary mobility kit, leave the engine running
(only if the vehicle is outdoors or in a well-ventilated area)so
the compressor doesn’t drain the vehicle’s battery.
•Do not allow the compressor to operate continuously for more than
10 minutes; this will help prevent the compressor from overheating.
•Never leave the temporary mobility kit unattended when it is
operating.
•Keep the temporary mobility kit away from children.
•Only use the temporary mobility kit when the ambient temperature is
above –20°F (-29°C).
•Only use the temporary mobility kit for sealing/inflating the tires on
your vehicle. Do not use the kit for inflating tires on motorcycles,
bicycles or any other type of tire.
•Only use the sealing compound before the expiration date. The
expiration date is labeled on the unit.
•Do not store the temporary mobility kit inside the passenger
compartment of the vehicle as it may cause injury during a sudden
stop or collision. Store the kit in its proper location.
