WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam
from your radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, do not
open the hood until the radiator has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling
system pressure cap when the radiator or coolant bottle is hot.
JACKING, TIRE CHANGING AND TIREFIT TIRE REPAIR
WARNING!
• Do not attempt to change or seal a tire on the side of the vehicle close to movingtraffic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid the danger of being hit when
operating the jack, changing the wheel or using the TIREFIT kit.
• Getting under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. You could be crushed. Never get any part of your body
under a vehicle that is on a jack. If you need to get under a raised vehicle, take it
to a service center where it can be raised on a lift.
• The jack is designed to use as a tool for changing tires only. The jack should not be used to lift the vehicle for service purposes. The vehicle should be jacked on a
firm, level surface only. Avoid ice or slippery areas.
WARNING!
• The compact spare tire is for emergency use only. Installation of this compact spare tire affects vehicle handling.
• Do not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h) with a compact spare tire.
• Keep the compact spare tire inflated to the cold tire inflation pressure, listed on either your tire placard or limited use spare tire and wheel assembly.
• Replace (or repair) the original tire at the first opportunity and reinstall it on your vehicle. Failure to do so could result in loss of vehicle control.
• A loose tire, jack or TIREFIT kit thrown forward in a collision or hard stop, could endanger the occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the jack parts, spare tire and
TIREFIT kit in the places provided.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

• The jack and spare tire or TIREFIT kit are stowed under an access cover in thetrunk.
• Lift the access cover using the pull strap and remove the fastener securing the spare tire.
• After removing the spare tire, remove the fastener securing the jack.
Preparations For Jacking Or TIREFIT Tire Repair
• Park on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice or slippery areas.
• Set the parking brake and shift the transmission into PARK.
• Turn the ignition to LOCK and turn on the Hazard Warning flasher. • Block both the front and rear of the wheeldiagonally opposite of the jacking position.
For example, if changing the right front
tire, block the left rear wheel.
NOTE: Passengers should not remain in the
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
Jacking And Tire Changing Instructions
WARNING!
Carefully follow these tire changing procedures to help prevent personal injury or
damage to your vehicle: Always park on a firm, level surface as far from the edge
of the roadway as possible before raising the vehicle.
• Remove the spare tire, jack and lug wrench.
• If equipped with steel wheels, do not remove the wheel cover at this time. If equipped with aluminum wheels where the center cap covers the lug nuts, use the
lug wrench to pry the center cap off carefully before raising the vehicle.
• Loosen (but do not remove) the wheel lug nuts by turning them to the left one turn while the wheel is still on the ground.
• Assemble the jack and jacking tools. Connect the jack handle driver to the extension, then to the lug wrench.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
52

• Continue to operate the pump until sealant is no longer flowing through the hose(typically takes 30 - 70 seconds). As the sealant flows through the Clear Sealant
Hose, the pressure gauge can read as high as 70 psi. The pressure gauge will
decrease quickly from approximately 70 psi to the actual tire pressure when the
sealant bottle is empty.
• The pump will start to inject air into the tire immediately after the sealant bottle is empty. Continue to operate the pump and inflate the tire to the pressure indicated
on the Tire and Loading Information label on the driver’s side door opening. Check
the tire pressure by looking at the pressure gauge.
NOTE: If the tire does not inflate to at least 26 psi pressure within 15 minutes, the
tire is too badly damaged. Do not attempt to drive the vehicle further. Call for
assistance.
• If the tire inflates to the recommended pressure or is at least 26 psi pressure within 15 minutes, press the Power button
to turn off the TIREFIT kit.
• Remove the Speed Limit sticker from the top of the Sealant Bottle and place the sticker on the steering wheel.
• Immediately disconnect the Clear Sealant Hose from the valve stem, reinstall the Yellow Cap on the fitting at the end of the hose, and place the TIREFIT kit in the
vehicle storage location. Quickly proceed to the next step.
CAUTION!
• The metal end fitting from the Power Plug and Cable may get hot after use andshould be handled carefully.
• Failure to reinstall the Yellow Cap on the fitting at the end of the Clear Sealant Hose can result in sealant contacting your skin, clothing, and the vehicle’s
interior. It can also result in sealan t contacting internal TIREFIT kit components
which may cause permanent damage to the kit.
• Immediately after injecting sealant and inflating the tire, drive the vehicle 5 mi (8 km) or 10 minutes to ensure distribution of the TIREFIT Sealant within the tire.
Do not exceed 55 mph (88 km/h).
• Pull over and repeat Preparations for Jacking or Tire Repair.
• Turn the Mode Select knob to the Air Mode position
.
• Connect the Black Air Pump Hose to the valve stem.
• Check the pressure in the tire by reading the Pressure Gauge.
NOTE: If tire pressure is less than 19 psi, the tire is too badly damaged. Do not
attempt to drive the vehicle further. Call for assistance.
• If the tire pressure is 19 psi or higher, press the Power button
and inflate the tire
to the pressure indicated on the Tire and Loading Information label on the driver’s
side door opening.
• Disconnect the TIREFIT kit from the valve stem and then reinstall the valve stem cap.
