WARNING!(Continued)
turn the ignition OFF. When the ignition is in the
OFF mode, the transmission is locked in PARK,
securing the vehicle against unwanted movement.
• When leaving the vehicle, always make sure the
ignition is in the OFF mode, remove the key fob from
the vehicle, and lock the vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to
be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number
of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or
fatally injured. Children should be warned not to
touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the trans-
mission gear selector.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle (or in
a location accessible to children), and do not leave
the ignition in the ON or RUN mode. A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
CAUTION!
•Before moving the transmission gear selector out of
PARK, you must turn the ignition to the ON/RUN
mode, and also press the brake pedal. Otherwise,
damage to the gear selector could result.
• DO NOT race the engine when shifting from PARK
or NEUTRAL into another gear range, as this can
damage the drivetrain.
The following indicators should be used to ensure that you
have properly engaged the transmission into the PARK
position:
• When shifting into PARK, press the lock button on the
gear selector, and firmly move the gear selector all the
way forward until it stops and is fully seated.
• Look at the transmission gear position display and
verify that it indicates the PARK position (P), and is not
blinking.
• With the brake pedal released, verify that the gear
selector will not move out of PARK.

STARTING AND OPERATING 267
If a tire is punctured, you can make a first emergency repair
using the Tire Service Kit located in the rear storage
compartment inside the storage container.
1. Remove the Tire Service Kit from the vehicle, take it outfrom the bag and place it near the punctured tire. Screw
the clear flexible filling tube to the tire valve.
2. Insert the power plug into the vehicle power outlet socket. Start the vehicle engine.
3. Push the Tire Service Kit power button to the “I” position. The electric compressor will be turned on,
sealant and air will inflate the tire.
Minimum 26 psi (1.8 bar) of pressure should be reached within
20 minutes. If the pressure has not been reached turn off and
remove the Tire Service Kit, drive the vehicle 30 feet (10 meters)
back and forth, to better distribute the sealant inside the tire.
4. Attach the clear flexible filling tube of the compressordirectly to the tire valve and repeat the inflation process.
When the correct pressure has been reached, start driving the
vehicle to uniformly distribute the sealant inside the tire.
After 10 minutes, stop and check the tire pressure. If the
pressure is below 19 psi (1.3 bar), do not drive the vehicle, as
the tire is too damaged, contact the nearest authorized dealer.
