(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).

CAUTION!
•Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze) other than specified Organic Additive Tech-
nology (OAT) engine coolant (antifreeze), may result in engine damage and may
decrease corrosion protection.Organic Additive Technology (OAT) engine coolant
is different and should not be mixed with Hybrid Organic Additive Technology
(HOAT) engine coolant (antifreeze) or any “globally compatible” coolant (anti-
freeze).If a non-OAT engine coolant (antifreeze) is introduced into the cooling
system in an emergency, the cooling system will need to be drained, flushed, and
refilled with fresh OAT coolant (conforming to MS-12106), by an authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
•Do not use water alone or alcohol-based engine coolant (antifreeze) products.
Do not use additional rust inhibitors or antirust products, as they may not be
compatible with the radiator engine coolant and may plug the radiator.
•This vehicle has not been designed for use with propylene glycol-based engine
coolant (antifreeze).Use of propylene glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze) is
not recommended.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system.The oil change
indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled
maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate in
the instrument cluster.This means that service is required for your vehicle.Operating
conditions such as frequent short-trips, trailer tow and extremely hot or cold ambient
temperatures will influence when the “Change Oil” or “Oil Change Required” message is
displayed.Severe Operating Conditions can cause the change oil message to illuminate as
early as 3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last reset.Have your vehicle serviced as soon as
possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator message after completing the
scheduled oil change.If a scheduled oil change is performed by someone other than your
authorized dealer, the message can be reset by referring to the steps described under
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel”
in your Owners Manual on the DVD for further information.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or
twelve months, whichever comes first.
Severe Duty All Models
Change Engine Oil at 4000 miles (6,500 km) if the vehicle is operated in a dusty and off
road environment.This type of vehicle use is considered Severe Duty
Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:
•Check engine oil level
•Check windshield washer fluid level
•Check the tire inflation pressures and look for unusual wear or damage
•Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder reservoir, and
transmission as needed
•Check function of all interior and exterior lights
