away when not in use.
• When the seatback is raised to the upright position, make sure it is latched by strongly
pulling on the top of the seatback above
the seat strap.
WARNING!
• Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into position. If the seatback isnot securely locked into position, the seat will not provide the proper stability for
child seats and/or passengers. An improperly latched seat could cause serious
injury.
• The cargo area in the rear of the vehicle (with the rear seatbacks in the locked-up or folded down position) should not be used as a play area by children
when the vehicle is in motion. They could be seriously injured in an accident.
Children should be seated and using the proper restraint system.

TILT / TELESCOPING STEERING COLUMN
Manual - Tilt / Telescoping Steering Column
• The tilt/telescoping control handle islocated below the steering wheel at the
end of the steering column.
• Pull the handle rearward to unlock the steering column.
• To tilt the steering column, move the steering wheel upward or downward as
desired. To lengthen or shorten the
steering column, pull the steering wheel
outward or push it inward as desired.
• Push forward on the handle to lock the column firmly in place.
WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering wheel while driving. The tilt/telescoping adjustment
must be locked while driving. Adjusting the steering wheel while driving or driving
without the tilt/telescoping adjustment locked could cause the driver to lose
control of the vehicle. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious injury or
death.
Power - Tilt / Telescoping Steering Column
• The power tilt/telescoping steering lever is located below the turn signal/wiper/
washer/high beam lever on the steering
column.
• To tilt the steering column, move the power tilt/telescoping lever up or down as
desired. To lengthen or shorten the
steering column, pull the lever toward you
or push the lever away from you as
desired.
WARNING!
Moving the steering column while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. Without a
stable steering column, you could lose control of the vehicle and have an accident.
Adjust the column only while the vehicle is stopped.

GETTING STARTED

• 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.

TIRE PRESSURES
• Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire, at least monthly
and inflate to the recommended pressure for your vehicle.
• The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and Loading Information” label located on the driver’s side door opening.
NOTE: Refer to the Owner’s Manual on the DVD for more information on the life of
tires.
WARNING!
Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect
vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the
recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them.
WARNING!
Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause accidents. Under-inflation is
the leading cause of tire failure and may result in severe cracking, component
separation, or “blow out”. Over-inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock.
Objects on the road and chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure.
Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems. You could lose control of your
vehicle. Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can
fail suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.
