• This light indicates low engine oil pressure. If the light turns on while driving, stop
the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A chime will sound when
this light turns on.
• We recommend you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur.
Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light
• This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS).
• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, we recom-
mend you drive to the nearest authorized studio immediately and have the vehicle
serviced immediately.
- Air Bag Warning Light
• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, have the

IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
• In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating by
taking the appropriate action.
• On the highways — slow down.
• In city traffic — while stopped, shift transmission into NEUTRAL, but do not in-
crease engine idle speed.
NOTE:There are steps that you can take to slow down an overheat condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the en-
gine cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.
• You can also turn the Temperature control to maximum heat, the Mode control to
floor and the Fan control to high. This allows the heater core to act as a supple-
ment to the radiator and aids in removing heat from the engine cooling system.
• If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off immedi-
ately.
• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur.
Have the vehicle serviced immediately.

Using The Mode Select Knob and Hoses
• Your TIREFIT kit is equipped with the following symbols to indicate the air or seal-
ant mode.
Selecting Air Mode
• Turn the Mode Select Knob (5) to this position for air pump operation only. Use
the Black Air Pump Hose (7) when selecting this mode.
Selecting Sealant Mode
• Turn the Mode Select Knob (5) to this position to inject the TIREFIT Sealant and
to inflate the tire. Use the Sealant Hose (clear hose) (6) when selecting this mode.
Using The Power Button
• Push and release the Power Button (4) once to turn On the TIREFIT kit. Push and
release the Power Button (4) again to turn Off the TIREFIT kit.
Using The Deflation Button
• Press the Deflation Button (2) to reduce the air pressure in the tire if it becomes
over-inflated.
TIREFIT Usage Precautions
• Replace the TIREFIT Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant Hose (6) prior to the expiration
date (printed on the bottle label) to assure optimum operation of the system. Re-
fer to “Sealing a Tire with TIREFIT” section (F) “Sealant Bottle and Hose Replace-
ment”.
• The Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant Hose (6) are a one tire application use. After
each use, always replace these components immediately at an authorized studio.
• 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 de-
bris 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 1/4 in (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 posi-
tion before proceeding.
3. Place the transmission in PARK (auto transmission) or in Gear (manual transmis-
sion) and cycle the ignition to the OFF position.
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.
6. 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 inNEUTRAL.
• 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.
•If the sealant (white fluid) does not flow within 0 – 10seconds
through the Sealant Hose (6):
1.Press the Power Button (4) to turn Off the TIREFIT kit. Disconnect the Sealant Hose
(6) from the valve stem. Make sure the valve stem is free of debris. Reconnect the
Sealant Hose (6) to the valve stem. Check that the Mode Select Knob (5) is in the
Sealant Mode position and not Air Mode. Press the Power Button (4) to turn On the
TIREFIT kit.

2. Connect the Power Plug (8) to a different 12 Volt power outlet in your vehicle or
another vehicle, if available. Make sure the engine is running before turning ON
the TIREFIT kit.
3. The Sealant Bottle (1) may be empty due to previous use. Call for assistance.
NOTE:If the Mode Select Knob (5) is on Air Mode and the pump is operating, air will dispensefrom the Air Pump Hose (7) only, not the Sealant Hose (6).
•If the sealant (white fluid) does flow through the Sealant Hose (6):
1. 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 Sealant Hose
(6), the Pressure Gauge (3) can read as high as 70 psi (5 kPa). The Pressure
Gauge (3) will decrease quickly from approximately 70 psi (5 kPa) to the actual
tire pressure when the Sealant Bottle (1) is empty.
2. The pump will start to inject air into the tire immediately after the Sealant Bottle
(1) is empty. Continue to operate the pump and inflate the tire to the pressure
indicated on the tire pressure label on the driver-side latch pillar (recommended
pressure). Check the tire pressure by looking at the Pressure Gauge (3).
•If the tire does not inflate to at least 26 psi (1.8 kPa) pressure within
15 minutes:
• The tire is too badly damaged. Do not attempt to drive the vehicle further. Call
for assistance.
NOTE:If the tire becomes over-inflated, press the Deflation Button to reduce the tire pressure tothe recommended inflation pressure before continuing.
•If the tire inflates to the recommended pressure or is at least 26 psi
(1.8 Bar) pressure within 15 minutes:
1. Press the Power Button (4) to turn off the TIREFIT kit.
2. Remove the Speed Limit sticker from the top of the Sealant Bottle (1) and place
the sticker on the instrument panel.
3. Immediately disconnect the Sealant Hose (6) from the valve stem, reinstall the
cap on the fitting at the end of the hose, and place the TIREFIT kit in the vehicle
storage location. Quickly proceed to (D) “Drive Vehicle”.
(D) Drive Vehicle:
• Immediately after injecting sealant and inflating the tire, drive the vehicle 5 miles
(8 km) or 10 minutes to ensure distribution of the TIREFIT Sealant within the tire.
Do not exceed 55 mph (88 km/h).

3. Uncoil the power plug and insert the plug into the vehicles 12 Volt power outlet.
4. Check the pressure in the tire by reading the Pressure Gauge (3).
•If tire pressure is less than 19 psi (1.3 kPa), the tire is too badly dam-
aged. Do not attempt to drive the vehicle further. Call for assistance.
If the tire pressure is 19 psi (1.3 kPa) or higher:
1.Press the Power Button (4) to turn on TIREFIT and inflate the tire to the pressure
indicated on the tire and loading information label on the driver-side door opening.
2. Disconnect the TIREFIT kit from the valve stem, reinstall the cap on the valve
stem and unplug from 12 Volt outlet.
3. Place the TIREFIT kit in its proper storage area in the vehicle.
4. Have the tire inspected and repaired or replaced at the earliest opportunity at an
authorized studio or tire service center.
