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 authorized dealer where it can be raised on a
lift.
•The jack is designed to use 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.
•After using the jack and tools, always reinstall them in the original carrier and loca-
tion.While driving you may experience abrupt stopping, rapid acceleration, or
sharp turns.A loose jack, tools, bracket or other objects in the vehicle may move
around with force, resulting in serious injury.
•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 pos-
sible before raising the vehicle.
•Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
•Block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be raised.
•Set the parking brake firmly and set the Euro Twin Clutch Transmission in PARK; a
manual transmission in REVERSE.
•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 unstable and cause
a collision.It could slip off the jack and hurt someone near it.Raise the vehicle
only enough to remove the tire.
•A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could injure some-
one in the vehicle.Always stow the jack parts and the extra tire and wheel in the
places provided.

FIAT 500L 2014 2.G User Guide 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.Refer to

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.Refer to
“Sealing a Tire with TIREFIT” section (F) “Sealant Bottle and Hose Replacement.”
•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 dealer.
•When the TIREFIT sealant is in a liquid form, clean water, and a damp cloth will re-
move 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 1/4” (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 position-
ing 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 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 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.
If the sealant (white fluid) does not flow within0–10seconds 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 dispense
from 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 (4.8 Bar).The Pressure Gauge (3)
will decrease quickly from approximately 70 psi (4.8 Bar) 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).
