•Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
• Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the
system is not operating properly.The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire
pressure telltale.When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately
one minute and then remain continuously illuminated.This sequence will continue each time the
vehicle is restarted as long as the malfunction exists.
• When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal
low tire pressure as intended.TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including
the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly.Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
NOTE: Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air temperature
change. Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage, especially in the Winter.
Example: If garage temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the outside temperature is 32°F (0°C), then
the cold tire inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa), which equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for
every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels.TPMS
pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle.
Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement
equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can, or balance beads if your vehicle is
equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.
BRAKE- Brake Warning Light
• The Brake Warning light illuminates when there is either a system malfunction or the parking
brake is applied. If the light is on and the parking brake is not applied, it indicates a possible brake
hydraulic malfunction, brake booster problem or an Anti-Lock Brake System problem.
• Please have your vehicle serviced immediately.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system may
have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle.You could have a collision. Have the
vehicle checked immediately.

4. Using the swivel wrench, raise the vehicle byturning the jack screw to the right. Raise the
vehicle only until the tire just clears the
surface and enough clearance is obtained to
install the spare tire. Minimum tire lift provides
maximum stability.
5. Remove the wheel bolts and pull the wheel off the hub. For vehicles equipped with
aluminum wheels, the center caps must be
removed to remove the wheel bolts.
NOTE: The wheel cover is held on the wheel by the wheel bolts.When reinstalling the original
wheel, properly align the wheel cover to the valve stem, place the wheel cover onto the wheel,
then install the wheel bolts.
6. Install the spare wheel and wheel bolts with the cone shaped end of the bolts toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the bolts.To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not tighten
the bolts fully until the vehicle has been lowered.
7. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the left.
8. Finish tightening the bolts. Push down on the wrench while tightening the wheel bolts.Alternate bolts until each bolt has been tightened twice.The correct wheel bolt torque is 63 ft lbs
(85 N·m) for steel wheel and 75 ft lbs (100 N·m) for aluminum wheels. If you doubt that you
have tightened the bolts correctly, have them checked with a torque wrench by your authorized
dealer or service station.
9. Disassemble the jack and tools and place them in the bag. Stow it under the driver's seat and secure the bag to the floor with the straps attached to the floor of the vehicle.
10. Place the deflated (flat) tire in the cargo area. Have the tire repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
11. Check the spare tire pressure as soon as possible. Correct the tire pressure as required.
Spare Tire Stowage
Reverse instructions of the spare removal section.
Rotate the jack wrench tool on the winch drive nut clockwise until effort becomes heavy and an
audible click is heard indicating the spare is properly stowed.
CAUTION!
• The winch mechanism is designed for use with the jack wrench extension tool only.
Use of air wrench or power tool may damage the winch.
• Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by jacking on locations other than those
indicated in the Jacking Instructions for this vehicle.
• Be sure to mount the spare tire with the valve stem facing outward.The vehicle
could be damaged if the spare tire is mounted incorrectly.

WARNING!
•Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the vehicle close to moving traffic.
Pull far enough off the road to avoid the danger of being hit when operating the jack
or changing the wheel.
• Being under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous.The vehicle could slip off the jack and
fall on you.You could be crushed. Never put any part of your body under a vehicle
that is on a jack.
• Never start or run the engine while the vehicle 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 be used 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.
• Carefully follow these tire changing warnings 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.
• Turn on the Hazard Warning flashers.
• Block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be raised.
• Set the parking brake firmly and set an automatic transmission in PARK; a manual
transmission in REVERSE.
• Never start or run the engine with the vehicle on a jack.
• Do not let anyone sit in the vehicle when it is on a jack.
• Do not get under the vehicle when it is on a jack.
• Only use the jack in the positions indicated and for lifting this vehicle during a tire
change.
• If working on or near a roadway, be extremely careful of motor traffic.
• To assure that spare tires, flat or inflated, are securely stowed, spares must be stowed
with the valve stem facing the ground.
• Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle less stable. It could slip
off the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the vehicle only enough to remove the
tire.
• To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not fully tighten the wheel
bolts until the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow this warning may result in
personal injury.
• To avoid possible personal injury, handle the wheel covers with care to avoid contact
with any sharp edges.
• A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could endanger the
occupants of the vehicle.Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in the places
provided.

•When the TIREFIT sealant is in a liquid form, clean water, and a damp cloth will remove the
material from the vehicle or tire and wheel components. Once the sealant dries, it can easily be
peeled off and properly discarded.
• For optimum performance, make sure the valve stem on the wheel is free of debris before
connecting the TIREFIT kit.
• You can use the TIREFIT air pump to inflate bicycle tires.The kit also comes with two needles,
located in the Accessory Storage Compartment (on the bottom of the air pump) for inflating
sport balls, rafts, or similar inflatable items. However, use only the Air Pump Hose (7) and make
sure the Mode Select Knob (5) is in the Air Mode when inflating such items to avoid injecting
sealant into them.The TIREFIT Sealant is only intended to seal punctures less than
1∕4in (6 mm)
diameter in the tread of your vehicle.
• Do not lift or carry the TIREFIT kit by the hoses.
Sealing A Tire With TIREFIT
(A) Whenever You Stop To Use TIREFIT:
1. Pull over to a safe location and turn on the vehicle’s Hazard Warning flashers.
2. Verify that the valve stem (on the wheel with the deflated tire) is in a position that is near to
the ground.This will allow the TIREFIT Hoses (6) and (7) to reach the valve stem and keep the
TIREFIT kit flat on the ground.This will provide the best positioning of the kit when injecting the
sealant into the deflated tire and running the air pump. Move the vehicle as necessary to place
the valve stem in this position before proceeding.
3. Place the transmission in PARK (auto transmission) or in Gear (manual transmission) and turn Off the ignition.
4. Set the parking brake.
(B) Setting Up To Use TIREFIT:
1. Turn the Mode Select Knob (5) to the Sealant Mode position.
2. Uncoil the Sealant Hose (6) and then remove the cap from the fitting at the end of the hose.
3. Place the TIREFIT kit flat on the ground next to the deflated tire.
4. Remove the cap from the valve stem and then screw the fitting at the end of the Sealant Hose (6) onto the valve stem.
5. Uncoil the Power Plug (8) and insert the plug into the vehicle’s 12 Volt power outlet.
NOTE: Do not remove foreign objects (e.g., screws or nails) from the tire.
(C) Injecting TIREFIT Sealant Into The Deflated Tire:
• Always start the engine before turning ON the TIREFIT kit.
NOTE: Manual transmission vehicles must have the parking brake engaged and the shift lever in
NEUTRAL.
• After pressing the Power Button (4), the sealant (white fluid) will flow from the Sealant Bottle
(1) through the Sealant Hose (6) and into the tire.
NOTE: Sealant may leak out through the puncture in the tire.
