TABLE OF CONTENTS

TIREFIT Instructions
• TIREFIT will temporarily seal small punctures up to14in.(6 mm) in the tire tread allowing
you to drive your vehicle up to 100 mi (160 km) with a maximum speed of 55 mph
(90 km/hr). TIREFIT can be used in outside temperatures down to approximately -4°F
(-20°C).
NOTE: Do not remove foreign objects (e.g., screws or nails) from the tire.
• Verify that the valve stem is close to the ground.
• Put on the gloves from the TIREFIT Kit Accessory Storage Compartment.
• Turn the Mode Select knob to the Sealant Mode position
.
• Remove the Yellow Cap from the fitting at the end of the Clear Sealant Hose.
• Remove the valve stem cap and screw the fitting at the end of the Clear Sealant Hose onto the valve stem.
• Insert the Power Plug into the vehicle’s 12-volt power outlet.
• Start the engine and then press the Power button
. The sealant (white fluid) will
flow from the Sealant Bottle through the Clear Sealant Hose and into the tire.
NOTE:
• Sealant may leak out through the puncture in the tire.
• If the sealant (white fluid) does not flow withi n0–10secondsthrough the Clear
Sealant Hose: • Press the Power button
to turn OFF the TIREFIT kit.
• Disconnect the Clear Sealant Hose and make sure the valve stem is free of debris.
• Repeat previous steps to verify sealant will flow, making sure the Mode Select knob is in Sealant Mode
.
• Continue to operate the pump until seal ant 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 Ho se 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.

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 f or more information regarding tire
warnings and instructions.
WARNING!
Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Ov erloading can causetire 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 r educes 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 ti res can affect vehicle handling and can fail
suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.
