not cover the lens.
REFUELING THE VEHICLE
The gas cap is located behind the fuel filler
door on the left side of the vehicle. If the gas
cap is lost or damaged, be sure the replace-
ment cap is for use with this vehicle.
1. Open the fuel filler door.
2. Remove the fuel cap by rotating it counterclockwise. 3. Fully insert the gasoline nozzle into the
filler pipe.
4. Fill the vehicle with fuel.
NOTE:
When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off,
the fuel tank is full.
5. Remove gasoline nozzle, reinstall fuel cap and close fuel filler door.
WARNING!
• Never have any smoking materials lit inor near the vehicle when the gas cap is
removed or the tank is being filled.
• Never add fuel when the engine is run-
ning. This is in violation of most state
and federal fire regulations and may
cause the MIL to turn on.
• A fire may result if gasoline is pumped
into a portable container that is inside of
a vehicle. You could be burned. Always
place gas containers on the ground while
filling.
CAUTION!
• Damage to the fuel system or emissionscontrol system could result from using
an improper fuel tank filler tube cap. A
poorly fitting cap could let impurities
into the fuel system and may cause the
“Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)” to
turn on, due to fuel vapors escaping
from the system.
• To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do
not “top off” the fuel tank after filling.
NOTE:
• When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is full.
• Tighten the fuel filler cap until you hear a “clicking” sound. This is an indication that
the fuel filler cap is properly tightened.
• If the gas cap is not tightened properly, the MIL may come on. Be sure the gas cap is
tightened every time the vehicle is
refueled.

ings can result in injuries that are seri-
ous or fatal to you, your passengers, and
others around you.
• Take care not to allow the contents of
Tire Service Kit to come in contact with
hair, eyes, or clothing. Tire Service Kit
sealant is harmful if inhaled, swallowed,
or absorbed through the skin. It causes
skin, eye, and respiratory irritation.
Flush immediately with plenty of water if
there is any contact with eyes or skin.
Change clothing as soon as possible, if
there is any contact with clothing.
• Tire Service Kit Sealant solution con-
tains latex. In case of an allergic reac-
tion or rash, consult a physician imme-
diately. Keep Tire Service Kit out of

ately. Insert the power plug into the vehicle power
outlet socket. Start the vehicle engine.
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 distrib-
ute the sealant inside the tire.
Attach the clear flexible filling tube of the
compressor directly to the tire valve and re-
peat the inflation process.
When the correct pressure has been reached,
start driving the vehicle to uniformly distrib-
ute the sealant inside the tire. After 10 min-
utes, 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.
WARNING!
Tire Service Kit is not a permanent flat tire
repair. Have the tire inspected and re-
paired or replaced after using Tire Service
Kit. Do not exceed 65 mph (110 km/h)
until the tire is repaired or replaced. Fail-
ure 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 an authorized dealer.
If the pressure is at 19 psi (1.3 bar) or above
repeat the inflation process to reach the cor-
rect tire pressure and continue driving.
Peel off the warning label from the bottle and
place it on the dashboard as a reminder to the
driver that a tire has been treated with Tire
Service Kit.
WARNING!
The metal end fitting from Power Plug may
get hot after use, so it should be handled
carefully.

NOTE:
Replace the sealant canister prior to the
expiration date at your authorized dealer.
WARNING!
Store the sealant canister in its special
compartment, away from sources of heat.
Failure to follow this WARNING may result
in sealant canister rupture and serious
injury or death.
JUMP STARTING
If your vehicle has a discharged battery, it can
be jump started using a set of jumper cables
and a battery in another vehicle or by using a
portable battery booster pack. Jump starting
can be dangerous if done improperly, so
please follow the procedures in this section
carefully.
NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster pack,
follow the manufacturer’s operating instruc-
tions and precautions.
WARNING!
Do not attempt jump starting if the battery
is frozen. It could rupture or explode and
cause personal injury.
CAUTION!
Do not use a portable battery booster pack
or any other booster source with a system
voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to
the battery, starter motor, alternator or
electrical system may occur.
Preparations For Jump Starting
The battery in your vehicle is located in the
front of the engine compartment, behind the
left headlight assembly.
NOTE:
The positive battery post is covered with a
protective cap. Lift up on the cap to gain
access to the positive battery post.

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 a good engine ground
(exposed metal part of the discharged
vehicle’s engine) away from the battery
and the fuel injection system.
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
personal 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. 6. Once the engine is started, remove the
jumper cables in the reverse sequence:
Disconnecting The Jumper Cables
1. Disconnect the negative (-)end of the
jumper cable from the engine ground of
the vehicle with the discharged battery.
2. Disconnect the opposite end of the nega- tive (-)jumper cable from the negative (-)
post of the booster battery.
3. Disconnect the positive (+)end of the
jumper cable from the positive (+)post of
the booster battery.
4. Disconnect the opposite end of the posi- tive (+)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 vehi-
cle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e.,
cellular devices, etc.). Eventually, if
plugged in long enough without engine
operation, the vehicle’s battery will dis-
charge sufficiently to degrade battery life
and/or prevent the engine from starting.
