•When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect orsignal 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 pre-
vent 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 .
- 12 Volt Charging System Light
•This light shows the status of the 12 Volt electrical charging system .If the charging system light
remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with the charging system .
•We recommend you do not continue driving if the charging system light is on. Have the
vehicle serviced immediately .

CAUTION!
•The metal end fitting from Power Plug (8) may get hot after use, so it should be
handled carefully .
• Failure to reinstall the cap on the fitting at the end of the Sealant Hose (6) can result
in sealant contacting your skin, clothing, and the vehicle’s interior .It can also result in
sealant contacting internal TIREFIT kit components which may cause permanent
damage to the kit.
WARNING!
• Do not attempt to seal a tire on the side of the vehicle closest to traffic .Pull far
enough off the road to avoid the danger of being hit when using the TIREFIT kit.
• Do not use TIREFIT or drive the vehicle under the following circumstances:
• If the puncture in the tire tread is approximately 1/4 in. (6 mm) or larger.
• If the tire has any sidewall damage .
• If the tire has any damage from driving with extremely low tire pressure .
• If the tire has any damage from driving on a flat tire .
• If the wheel has any damage .
• If you are unsure of the condition of the tire or the wheel.
• Keep TIREFIT away from open flames or heat source .
• A loose TIREFIT kit thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could endanger the
occupants of the vehicle .Always stow the TIREFIT kit in the place provided. Failure
to follow these warnings can result in injuries that are serious or fatal to you, your
passengers, and others around you.
• Take care not to allow the contents of TIREFIT to come in contact with hair, eyes,
or clothing. TIREFIT is harmful if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through the skin.
It causes skin, eye, and respiratory irritation. Flush immediately with plenty of water if
there is any contact with eyes or skin. Change clothing as soon as possible, if there is
any contact with clothing.
• TIREFIT Sealant solution contains latex .In case of an allergic reaction or rash, consult
a physician immediately .Keep TIREFIT out of reach of children. If swallowed, rinse
mouth immediately with plenty of water and drink plenty of water .Do not induce
vomiting! Consult a physician immediately .
•
TIREFIT is not a permanent flat tire repair .Have the tire inspected and repaired or re-
placed after using TIREFIT .Do not exceed 55 mph (88 km/h) until the tire is repaired or
replaced. Failure to follow this warning can result in injuries that are serious or fatal to
you, your passengers, and others around you .

WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous.Forces generated by excessive wheel speeds may
cause damage, or even failure, of the axle and tires .A tire could explode and injure some-
one .Do not spin your vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) or for longer than
30 seconds continuously without stopping when you are stuck and do not let anyone near
a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed .
EVENT DATA RECORDER (EDR)
•This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data Recorder (EDR) .The main purpose of an EDR
is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or
hitting a road obstacle, data that assists in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed .
The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a
short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less .The EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were operating.
• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened .
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal.
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
• These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur .
NOTE:
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data
are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e .g.name,
gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforce-
ment, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investigation.
• To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle
or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties such as law
enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have
access to the vehicle or the EDR.
