Important - use of compact spare tire(if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a com-
pact spare tire. This compact spare
tire takes up less space than a regu-
lar-size tire. This tire is smaller than a
conventional tire and is designed for
temporary use only.
The compact spare should be inflat-
ed to 420 kPa (60 psi).
✽✽NOTICE
Check the inflation pressure after
installing the spare tire. Adjust it to
the specified pressure, as necessary.
When using a compact spare tire,
observe the following precautions:
Under no circumstances should you exceed 80 km/h (50 mph); a higher speed could damage the
tire.
Ensure that you drive slowly enough to avoid all hazards. Anyroad hazard, such as a pothole or
debris, could seriously damage the
compact spare.
Any continuous road use of this tire could result in tire failure, loss of
vehicle control, and possible per-
sonal injury.
Do not exceed the vehicle’s maxi- mum load rating or the load-carry-
ing capacity shown on the sidewall
of the compact spare tire.
Avoid driving over obstacles. The compact spare tire diameter issmaller than the diameter of a con-
ventional tire and reduces the
ground clearance approximately25 mm (1 inch), which could result
in damage to the vehicle.
CAUTION
You should drive carefully
when the compact spare is inuse. The compact spareshould be replaced by the proper conventional tire andrim at the first opportunity.
The operation of this vehicle is not recommended withmore than one compact spare tire in use at the same time.
WARNING
The compact spare tire is for
emergency use only. Do not
operate your vehicle on thiscompact spare at the speed
over 80 km/h (50 mph). Theoriginal tire should be repaired
or replaced as soon as possible
to avoid failure of the spare
possibly leading to personal
injury or death.

10. Switch the On/Off switch (8) to
the "I"-position.
Please note: When the sealing compound is added through the
tire valve the pressure gauge
could increase from approxi-
mately 4-6 bar (60-90 psi), but itwill drop again after about 30
seconds. 11. Inflate the tire to at least 1.8 bar
(26 psi) and at most 3.5 bar (51
psi) within 7 minutes. Switch off
the compressor briefly by press-
ing "O" so you are be able to readthe actual tire inflation pressure
on the gauge.
CAUTION
During the tire inflation opera-
tion do not stand next to thedamaged tire. Check the side-wall of the tire for unusual bulges or deformations.Discontinue the inflation opera-tion and deflate the tire by using the pressure release (10), if anyunusual appearance is noticed.
CAUTION
If a tire inflation pressure of 1.8 bar (26 psi) is not achievablewithin 7 minutes, the tire is tooseverely damaged and you must not drive on the tire. Call forroad side service or towing.

What to do in an emergency
12. If a tire inflation pressure of 1.8bar (26 psi) is reached, turn the
On/Off switch to the "O"-position,
quickly unscrew the hose from
the tire. Unplug the cable from
the cigarette lighter. Do not
unscrew the bottle. Stow theTireMobilityKit, the bottle cap and
the bottle holder cap safely in the
vehicle in an easily accessible
place, as it will be needed again
to check tire pressure.
13. Drive immediately and cautiously for about 3 km (2 miles) so thatthe sealing compound can seal
the puncture. Do not exceed 80
km/h (50 mph). While driving, if
you experience any unusual
vibration, ride disturbance or
noise, reduce your speed and
drive with caution until you can
safely pull off to the side of the
road. Call for road side service or
towing. F120202ASA
2nd Stage: Check tire pressure
14. Stop after driving for about 3 km
(2 miles) and check the pressure
of the punctured tire as follows:
a) Ensure that the On/Off switch (8) of the compressor is in the"O"-position.
b) Screw the hose onto the valve of the punctured tire.
c) Plug the power cable into the cigarette lighter (12 volt socket).
d) Read the inflation pressure on the gauge of the TireMobilityKit.
CAUTION
If the inflation pressure is below
1.3 bar (19 psi), do not continueto drive. Call for road side serv- ice or towing.

15. If the inflation pressure is 1.3 bar
(19 psi) or more, turn the On/Off
switch to the "I"-position andadjust the inflation pressure tothe recommended inflation pres-
sure (Refer to “Tires and wheels”
in section 9). Reduce any exces-
sive pressure by using the pres-
sure release valve (10).
16. Turn the kit off by pressing "O". Unscrew the hose from the tire
valve and unplug the electric plug
from the socket. 17. Do not unscrew the bottle. Stow
the TireMobilityKit safely in the
vehicle. 18. Drive to the next vehicle or tire
dealer to replace the tire.
19. After using the TireMobilityKit to seal your tire, replace the hose,the sealing compound and con-
nected parts. See the last page
of this instruction. When replac-
ing the damaged tire inform thetire mechanic that a sealing com-
pound was used before the tire isdemounted!
WARNING
After the sealing compound has
been used, the max. permissiblespeed is 80 km/h (50 mph) and
the damaged tire is to be
replaced promptly, at least with-in a distance of 200 km (120
miles). While driving, if you
experience any unusual vibra-
tion, ride disturbance or noise,
reduce your speed and drive
with caution until you can safe-
ly pull off to the side of the road.
Call for road side service or
towing.WARNING
After a long period without driv-
ing, the inflation pressure must
be checked before driving.

Checking tire inflation pressure
Check your tires once a month or
more.
Also, check the tire pressure of the
spare tire.
G200301AUN
How to check
Use a good quality gage to check tire
pressure. You can not tell if your tires
are properly inflated simply by look-
ing at them. Radial tires may look
properly inflated even when they're
underinflated.
Check the tire's inflation pressure
when the tires are cold. - "Cold"
means your vehicle has been sitting
for at least three hours or driven nomore than 1.6 km (1 mile).
WARNING - Tire Inflation
Overinflation or underinflation
can reduce tire life, adversely
affect vehicle handling, and
lead to sudden tire failure. This
could result in loss of vehicle
control and potential injury.
CAUTION - Tire pressure
Always observe the following:
Check tire pressure when the tires are cold. (After vehiclehas been parked for at leastthree hours or hasn't beendriven more than 1.6 km (one mile) since startup.)
Check the pressure of your spare tire each time you checkthe pressure of other tires.
Never overload your vehicle. Be careful not to overload avehicle luggage rack if yourvehicle is equipped with one.
Worn, old tires can cause acci- dents. If your tread is badlyworn, or if your tires havebeen damaged, replace them.
CAUTION
Warm tires normally exceed recommended cold tire pres-sures by 28 to 41 kPa (4 to 6psi). Do not release air fromwarm tires to adjust the pres-sure or the tires will be under-inflated.
Be sure to reinstall the tire inflation valve caps. Withoutthe valve cap, dirt or moisture could get into the valve coreand cause air leakage. If avalve cap is missing, install anew one as soon as possible.
