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 Hose 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 running the air pump. Move the
vehicle as necessary to place the valve
stem in this position before proceeding.
3. Place the transmission in PARK (P) and cycle the ignition in the OFF position.
4. Ensure the park brake is engaged. Setting Up To Use Tire Service Kit:

1. Remove the Tire Service Kit from the
storage location.

2. Uncoil the Sealant/Air Hose.
Remove the cap from the valve stem
and then screw the fitting in at the
end of the Sealant/Air Hose clockwise
onto the valve stem.
3. Place the Tire Service Kit on the ground next
to the deflated tire.
4. Uncoil the Power Plug and insert
the plug into the vehicle’s 12 Volt
power outlet.
5. Engage parking brake before turning the
engine ON. 6. Always start the engine before
turning ON the Tire Service Kit.
7. Turn the Mode Select Knob to Air
Mode position.
WARNING!
Keep Tire Service Kit away from open
flames or heat source.
A loose Tire Service Kit thrown forward in a
collision or hard stop could endanger the
occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the
Tire Service Kit in the place provided.
Failure to follow these warnings can result
in injuries that are serious 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 contains
latex. In case of an allergic reaction or rash,
consult a physician immediately. Keep Tire
Service Kit out of reach of children. If swal -
lowed, rinse mouth immediately with plenty
of water and drink plenty of water. Do not

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.

strap out as far as it will go, then release it.
The transmission should now be in NEUTRAL
(N), allowing the vehicle to be moved.
NOTE:
When the lever is locked in the released posi
-
tion, the tether will remain outside of the trim
panel and the access cover cannot be rein -
stalled.

You should be seated in the driver’s seat with
your foot firmly placed on the brake pedal to
maintain control of the vehicle before
activating the Manual Park Release. If
possible, you should apply the parking brake.
Activating the Manual Park Release will allow
your vehicle to roll away if it is not secured or
properly connected to a tow vehicle.
Activating the Manual Park Release on an
unsecured vehicle could lead to serious injury
or death for those in or around the vehicle.

trical failure when the Electric Parking Brake
(EPB) is engaged, will need a wheel dolly or jack
to raise the rear wheels off the ground when
moving the vehicle onto a flatbed.

The manufacturer recommends towing your vehicle
with all four wheels OFF the ground using a flatbed.

If flatbed equipment is not available, this
vehicle must be towed with the front wheels
OFF the ground (using a towing dolly, or wheel
lift equipment with the front wheels raised).
NOTE:
Ensure that the Electric Park Brake is released,
and remains released, while being towed. Vehicle Recovery Tow Points
