2. Remove the Speed Limit sticker
from the top of the Sealant Bottle (1)
and place the sticker on the instru-
ment panel.
3. Immediately disconnect the Seal-
ant Hose (6) from the valve stem,
reinstall the cap on the fitting at the
end of the hose, and place the TIRE-
FIT kit in the vehicle storage location.
Quickly proceed to (D) “Drive Ve-
hicle”.
CAUTION!
The metal end fitting from PowerPlug (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. (D) Drive Vehicle:
Immediately after injecting sealant
and inflating the tire, drive the vehicle
8 km or 10 minutes to ensure distri-
bution of the TIREFIT Sealant within
the tire. Do not exceed 88 km/h.
WARNING!
TIREFIT is not a permanent flat
tire repair. Have the tire inspected
and repaired or replaced after using
TIREFIT. Do not exceed 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.
(E) After Driving:
Pull over to a safe location. Refer to
“Whenever You Stop to Use TIRE-
FIT” before continuing.
1. Turn the Mode Select Knob (5) to
the Air Mode position.
2. Uncoil the power plug and insert
the plug into the vehicle's 12 Volt
power outlet. 3. Uncoil the Air Pump Hose (7)
(black in color) and screw the fitting
at the end of hose (7) onto the valve
stem.
4. Check the pressure in the tire by
reading the Pressure Gauge (3).
If tire pressure is less than 1.3 Bar,
the tire is too badly damaged. Do not
attempt to drive the vehicle further.
Call for assistance.
If the tire pressure is 1.3 Bar 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.
NOTE: If the tire becomes over-
inflated, press the Deflation But-
ton to reduce the tire pressure to
the recommended inflation pres-
sure before continuing.
2. Disconnect the TIREFIT kit from
the valve stem, reinstall the cap on the
valve stem and unplug from 12 Volt
outlet.

achieved at wheel speeds of 8 km/h
or less. Whenever the transmission
remains in NEUTRAL for more
than 2 seconds, you must press the
brake pedal to engage DRIVE or
REVERSE.
CAUTION!
Racing the engine or spinning the
wheels may lead to transmission
overheating and failure. Allow the
engine to idle with the transmission
in NEUTRAL for at least one minute
after every five rocking-motion
cycles. This will minimize overheat-
ing and reduce the risk of transmis-
sion failure during prolonged efforts
to free a stuck vehicle.
NOTE: Press the "ESC Off"
switch, to place the Electronic Sta-
bility Control (ESC) system in
"Partial Off" mode, before rocking
the vehicle. Refer to “Electronic
Brake Control” in “Starting And
Operating” for further informa-
tion. Once the vehicle has been
freed, press the "ESC Off" switch
again to restore "ESC On" mode.
CAUTION!
When “rocking” a stuck vehicleby shifting between DRIVE and
REVERSE, do not spin the
wheels faster than 24 km/h, or
drivetrain damage may result.
Revving the engine or spinning the wheels too fast may lead to
transmission overheating and
failure. It can also damage the
tires. Do not spin the wheels
above 48 km/h while in gear (no
transmission shifting occurring).
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be danger-
ous. 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 48 km/h or for
longer than 30 seconds continu-
ously without stopping when you
are stuck and do not let anyone
near a spinning wheel, no matter
what the speed.
TOW EYES
Your vehicle is equipped with tow
eyes, which are mounted in the front
and the rear.
CAUTION!
Tow eyes are for emergency use
only, to rescue a vehicle stranded
off road. Do not use tow eyes for
tow truck hookup or highway tow-
ing. You could damage your ve-
hicle. Tow straps are recommended
when towing the vehicle; chains
may cause vehicle damage.
WARNING!
Stand clear of vehicles when pull-
ing with tow eyes. Tow straps and
chains may break, causing serious
injury.

Proper towing or lifting equipment is
required to prevent damage to your
vehicle. Use only tow bars and other
equipment designed for this purpose,
following equipment manufacturer’s
instructions. Use of safety chains is
mandatory. Attach a tow bar or other
towing device to main structural
members of the vehicle, not to bum-
pers or associated brackets. State and
local laws regarding vehicles under
tow must be observed.
If you must use the accessories (wip-
ers, defrosters, etc.) while being
towed, the ignition must be in the
ON/RUN position, not the ACC posi-
tion. If the vehicle's battery is discharged,
see “Manual Park Release” or “Shift
Lever Override” in this section for
instructions on shifting the transmis-
sion out of PARK for towing.
CAUTION!
Do not use sling type equipment
when towing. Damage to the fas-
cia will occur.

When securing the vehicle to a
flatbed truck, do not attach to the
front or rear suspension compo-
nents. Damage to your vehicle may
result from improper towing.
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
Do not push or tow this vehicle with another vehicle as damage to
the bumper fascia and transmis-
sion may result.
The manufacturer does not rec- ommend towing this vehicle using
a tow dolly. Vehicle damage may
occur.
The manufacturer recommends tow-
ing your vehicle with all four wheels
OFF the ground using a flatbed.
If flatbed equipment is not available,
