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 pro-
vided. 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 immedi-
ately 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.

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 replaced 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.

TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
With Ignition Key
Manual Transmission
• Vehicle can be flat towed (all four wheels on the ground) with the transmission in
NEUTRAL.
• Vehicle can be towed with the front wheels elevated.
• Vehicle can be towed on a flatbed truck (all wheels off the ground).
NOTE:If it is necessary to use the accessories while being towed (wipers, defrosters, etc.), the keymust be in the ON/RUN position. Make certain the transmission remains in NEUTRAL.
Without The Ignition Key
• Special care must be taken when the vehicle is towed with the ignition in the
OFF/LOCK position. A dolly should be used under the front wheels if the rear
wheels are raised. Proper towing equipment is necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle.
CAUTION!
• Failure to follow these towing methods can cause severe transmission dam-
age. Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
• If the vehicle being towed requires steering, the ignition switch must be in the
ON/RUN position.
• Do not attempt to use sling-type equipment when towing. When securing
the vehicle to a flatbed truck, do not attach to front or rear suspension com-
ponents. Damage to your vehicle may result from improper towing.
ENHANCED ACCIDENT RESPONSE SYSTEM
• In the event of an impact causing air bag deployment, if the communication net-
work remains intact, and the power remains intact, depending on the nature of
the event the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) will determine whether to have
the Enhanced Accident Response System perform the following functions:
• Cut off fuel to the engine.
• Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has power or until the ignition key is
turned off.
• Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has power or
until the ignition key is removed.
• Unlock the doors automatically.
