Tire Service Kit Usage Precautions
•Replace the Tire Service Kit Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant Hose (6) prior to the expi-
ration date (printed on the bottle label) to assure optimum operation of the system.
Refer to “Sealing A Tire With Tire Service Kit” 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 Tire Service Kit sealant is in a liquid form, clean water, and a damp cloth will
remove 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 Tire Service Kit.
•You can use the Tire Service Kit 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 Tire Service
Kit Sealant is only intended to seal punctures less than 1/4 inch (6 mm) diameter in
the tread of your vehicle.
•Do not lift or carry the Tire Service Kit by the hoses.
Sealing A Tire With Tire Service Kit
(A) Whenever You Stop To Use Tire Service Kit:
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 Tire Service Kit Hoses (6) and (7) to reach the
valve stem and keep the Tire Service Kit flat on the ground.This will provide the best
positioning 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 be-
fore 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 Tire Service Kit:
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.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

3.Place the Tire Service 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 Tire Service Kit Sealant Into The Deflated Tire:
Always start the engine before turning ON the Tire Service Kit.
NOTE:
Manual transmission vehicles must have the parking brake engaged and the shift lever in
NEUTRAL.
After pushing 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 within 0 – 10seconds through the Sealant
Hose (6):
1.Push the Power Button (4) to turn Off the Tire Service 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.Push the Power Button (4) to turn On
the Tire Service 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
Tire Service 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).
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
