TIRE SERVICE KIT
Description
If a tire is punctured, you can make a first
emergency repair using the Tire Service
Kit located in the rear storage area under
the load platform.
1. Stop the vehicle in a position where
you can repair the tire safely. You should
be as far as possible from the side of the
road, and in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic. Turn on
the hazard warning flashers, remove the
safety triangle from the luggage
compartment, and place it at a suitable
distance from the vehicle to make other
drivers aware of your presence.
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 repair kit hoses to reach
the valve stem and keep the tire service
kit flat on the ground.
3. Place the gear selector in PARK (P).
4. Apply the electric park brake and turn
the engine OFF.
To access the Tire Service Kit, open the
liftgate and lift the load floor.The Tire Service Kit consists of:
Sealant cartridge containing the
sealing fluid
Filler Tube
Air compressor, complete with
pressure gauge and connectors
Adhesive label with the writing "Max.
50 mph (80 km/h)”, to be attached in a
position easily visible to the driver (eg. on
the dashboard) after repairing the tire
An instruction pamphlet for reference
in prompt and correct use of the Tire
Service Kit, which must be then given to
the personnel dealing with the
sealant-treated tire
A pair of protective gloves
Some adaptors, for inflating different
elements Note:
The sealing fluid is effective with
external temperatures of between
-40°F (-40°C) and 122°F (50°C).
The sealing fluid has an expiration
date.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

5. Start the compressor by placing the
power switch in the on position (I).
6. Inflate the tire to a pressure of at
least 32 psi (2.2 bar). Refer to “Tires” in
“Servicing And Maintenance” for more
information. In order to obtain a more
precise reading, check the pressure value
on pressure gauge with the compressor
off.
7. If the pressure is not at least 26 psi
(1.8 bar) after 15 minutes, disengage the
compressor from the valve and power
outlet. Then, move the vehicle forwards
approximately five tire turns in order to
distribute the sealing fluid inside the tire
evenly, and then repeat the inflation
operation.8. Drive the vehicle for about 5 miles
(8 km), stop, engage the electric park
brake, and recheck the tire pressure.
9. If the pressure is less than 19 psi
(1.3 bar),
DO NOTdrive the vehicle, and
see an authorized dealer.
10. If a pressure value of at least 19 psi
(1.3 bar) is detected, restore the correct
pressure (with engine running and
electric park brake engaged), and drive
immediately with great care to an
authorized dealer.
Warning!
Tire Service Kit is not a permanent flat tire
repair. Have the tire inspected and repaired
or replaced after using Tire Service Kit. Do
not exceed 50 mph (80 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. Have the tire checked as soon as
possible at your authorized dealer.
11. Apply the adhesive label from the
sealant bottle where it can be easily seen
by the driver as a reminder that the tire
has been treated with a Tire Service Kit,
as well as not to exceed the speed
restriction for the treated tire.
Warning!
Do not adhere the speed restriction sticker
to the padded area on the steering wheel.
Adhering the speed restriction sticker to the
padded area on the steering wheel is
dangerous because the air bag may not
operate (deploy) normally resulting in
serious injury. In addition, do not adhere the
sticker to areas where warning lights or the
speedometer cannot be viewed.
Note: Only use original sealant
cartridges, which can be purchased at an
authorized dealer.
Checking And Restoring Tire Pressure
The compressor can also be used to
check and, if necessary, restore the tire
pressure.
Proceed as follows:
1. Make sure that the power switch is in
the O (off) position.
2. Connect the hose directly to the valve
on the tire to be inflated.
3. Insert the plug into the socket in the
passenger compartment or in the cargo
area and start the engine.
4. Start the compressor by putting the
power switch to I (on). As soon as the
correct pressure is reached, put the
power switch to O (off).

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

To carry out the operation, you need to
have the correct cables to connect to the
battery of another vehicle or a portable
battery booster pack to the remote posts
of the discharged battery. Usually, these
cables have terminals at the ends and are
identified by different sheath colors (red
= positive, black = negative).
Jump Starting Procedure
Warning!
Failure to follow this jump-starting
procedure could result in personal injury or
property damage due to battery explosion.
Caution!
Failure to follow these procedures could result
in damage to the charging system of the
booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.
Preparation For Jump Starting:
1. Firmly apply the parking brake, place
the gear selector to PARK, then cycle the
ignition to OFF.
2. Turn off all electrical features in the
vehicle.
3. If using another vehicle to jump start
the battery, park the vehicle within the
jumper cables reach, apply the parking
brake and make sure the ignition is OFF.
Warning!
Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as
this could establish a ground connection and
personal injury could result.
Cable Connection
Proceed as follows to perform a jump
starting procedure:
1. Connect the positive (+) end of the
jumper cable to the positive (+) post of
the vehicle with the discharged battery
2. Connect the opposite end of the
positive (+) jumper cable to the positive
(+) post of the booster battery.
3. Connect the negative end (-) of the
jumper cable to the negative (-) post of
the booster battery.
4. Connect the opposite end of the
negative (-) jumper cable to the remote
negative (-) post of the vehicle with the
discharged battery.
Warning!
Do not connect the jumper cable to the
negative (-) post of the discharged battery.
The resulting electrical spark could cause
the battery to explode and could result in
serious injury. Only use the specific ground
point, do not use any other exposed metal
parts.
5. Start the engine in the vehicle that has
the booster battery, let the engine idle a
few minutes, and then start the engine in
the vehicle with the discharged battery. If
using a portable battery booster pack,
before starting the vehicle, wait a few
seconds after completing the connection.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

Cable Disconnection
Once the engine is started, remove the
connection cables in reverse sequence,
as described below:
1. Disconnect the negative (-) end of the
jumper cable from the remote negative (-)
post of the vehicle with the discharged
battery.
2. Disconnect the negative end (-) of the
jumper cable from the negative (-) post of
the booster battery.
3. Disconnect the opposite end of the
positive (+) jumper cable from the
positive (+) post of the booster battery.
4. Disconnect the positive (+) end of the
jumper cable from the positive (+) post of
the vehicle with the discharged battery.
If frequent jump starting is required to
start your vehicle, you should have the
battery and charging system inspected at
an authorized dealer.
Caution!
Accessories plugged into the vehicle power
outlets draw power from the vehicle’s
battery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular
phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long
enough without engine operation, the
vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently
to degrade battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.
Bump Starting
Never jump start the engine by pushing,
towing or coasting downhill. You cannot
start a vehicle with an automatic
transmission by pushing it.
Caution!
Accessories plugged into the vehicle power
outlets draw power from the vehicle’s
battery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular
phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long
enough without engine operation, the
vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently
to degrade battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.
ENGINE OVERHEATING
Engine overheating may occur in
situations such as (but not limited to)
extreme environmental temperatures or
frequent engine stops/starts. If the
engine becomes overheated, the Engine
Temperature Warning Light in the
instrument cluster will illuminate along
with a dedicated message. Refer to
"Warning Lights And Messages On The
Instrument Panel" in the "Getting To
Know Your Instrument Panel" for more
information.
In any of the following situations, you can
reduce the potential for overheating by
taking the appropriate action.
On the highways — slow down.
In city traffic — while stopped, place
the transmission in NEUTRAL, but do not
increase engine idle speed.
Note: There are steps that you can take
to slow down an impending overheat
condition:
If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn
it off. The A/C system adds heat to the
engine cooling system and turning the
A/C off can help remove this heat.
You can also turn the temperature
control to maximum heat, the mode
control to floor and the blower control to
high. This allows the heater core to act
as a supplement to the radiator and aids
in removing heat from the engine cooling
system.
203

Warning!
You or others can be badly burned by hot
engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from
your radiator. If you see or hear steam
coming from under the hood, do not open the
hood until the radiator has had time to cool.
Never try to open a cooling system pressure
cap when the radiator or coolant bottle is
hot.
Caution!
Driving with a hot cooling system could
damage your vehicle. If temperature gauge
reads “H”, pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle
the vehicle with the air conditioner turned
off until the pointer drops back into the
normal range. If the pointer remains on the
“H”, turn the engine off immediately, and call
for service.
Note:
If the cooling fan does not operate
while the engine is running, the engine
temperature will increase. Stop the
engine and contact an authorized dealer.
If the engine continues to overheat or
frequently overheats, have the cooling
system inspected. The engine could be
seriously damaged unless repairs are
made. Contact an authorized dealer.
TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
This section describes procedures for
towing a disabled vehicle using a
commercial towing service.
Caution!
The vehicle should be transported with all
four wheels OFF the ground on the flatbed
of a roadside assistance vehicle. Avoid
towing with only the front (or rear) wheels
lifted. When towing with only the front (or
rear) wheels lifted, in addition to damaging
the body, it could damage the transmission.
Do not use sling-type equipment when
towing. Vehicle damage may occur.
When securing the vehicle to a flatbed
truck, do not attach to front or rear
suspension components. Damage to your
vehicle may result from improper towing.
Ensure that the Electric Park Brake is
released, and remain released, while being
towed.
Damage from improper towing is not
covered under the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
Note: If your vehicle is equipped with a
Anti-Lift Protection system, you will need
to disable the system prior to towing by
pushing the button located on the
overhead console. Refer to “Anti-Lift
Protection — If Equipped” in “Getting To
Know Your Vehicle” for further
information.
The operators of the assistance vehicle
must be informed with regard to the
vehicle's minimum height from ground in
order to avoid contact between the ends
of the bumpers with the equipment of the
breakdown truck.
The following image illustrates the front
and rear attachment corners of the
vehicle, to be taken into consideration
when loading the vehicle on the
commercial towing vehicle.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

TOW EYES
If the vehicle has been in an accident or
has broken down, a tow eye is provided in
the tools container located inside the
luggage compartment for vehicle towing.
Two locations in the front grille are
available for Tow Eye installation. Towing
is meant only for short distances on a
paved road surface.
Proceed as follows to use the tow eye:
1. Unhook the cap on the left or right
side of the front grille, pushing on the
upper part.
2. Remove the tow eye from its housing
in the luggage compartment and carefully
clean the threaded housing on the vehicle
before using it.3. Tighten the vehicle's tow eye in place
(about 11 turns).
Note:
The largest work angle of a tow
cable to fix on the tow eye must not
exceed 15°.
Warning!
Stand clear of vehicles when pulling with tow
eyes.
Do not use a chain with a tow eye. Chains
may break, causing serious injury or death.
Do not use a tow strap with a tow eye. Tow
straps may break or become disengaged,
causing serious injury or death.
Failure to follow proper tow eye usage
may cause components to break resulting in
serious injury or death.
Caution!
The tow eye must be used exclusively for
roadside assistance operations. Only use
the tow eye with an appropriate device in
accordance with the highway code (a rigid
bar or rope) to flat tow the vehicle for a
short distance to the nearest service
location.
Tow eyes MUST NOT be used to tow
vehicles off the road or where there are
obstacles.
In compliance with the above conditions,
towing with a tow eye must take place with
two vehicles (one towing, the other towed)
aligned as much as possible along the same
center line. Damage to your vehicle may
occur if these guidelines are not followed.
When towing, only use a facility that can
tow vehicles with low ground clearances as
extensive damage can result by using a
standard tow truck platform.
