3. Place the transmission in PARK (P) (autotransmission) or in Gear (manual trans -
mission) and place the ignition in the
OFF position.
4. Apply the parking brake.
(B) Setting Up To Use Tire Service Kit:
1. Push in the Mode Select Knob and turn to the Sealant Mode position.
2. Uncoil the Sealant Hose and then remove the cap from the fitting at the end of the
hose.
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 onto the valve stem.
5. Uncoil the Power Plug and insert the plug into the vehicle’s 12 Volt power outlet.
NOTE:
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 gear selector
in NEUTRAL.
After pushing the Power Button, the
sealant (white fluid) will flow from the
Sealant Bottle through the Sealant Hose
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 – 10 seconds through the Sealant Hose:
1. Push the Power Button to turn Off the
Tire Service Kit. Disconnect the Sealant
Hose from the valve stem. Make sure the
valve stem is free of debris. Reconnect
the Sealant Hose to the valve stem.
Check that the Mode Select Knob is in
the Sealant Mode position and not Air
Mode. Push the Power Button to turn On
the Tire Service Kit.

2. Connect the Power Plug 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 may be empty due to previous use. Call for assistance.
NOTE:
If the Mode Select Knob is on Air Mode and
the pump is operating, air will dispense from
the Air Pump Hose only, not the Sealant
Hose.
If the sealant (white fluid) does flow through the
Sealant Hose: 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, the Pressure Gauge can read as
high as 70 psi (4.8 Bar). The Pressure

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 supple-
ment to the radiator and aids in removing
heat from the engine cooling system.GEAR SELECTOR OVERRIDE
If a malfunction occurs and the gear selector
cannot be moved out of the PARK position,
you can use the following procedure to
temporarily move the gear selector:
1. Turn the engine OFF.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Using a screwdriver or similar tool, care-
fully separate the shifter bezel and boot
assembly from the center console, and
raise it up to access the gear selector
mechanism.
4. Press and maintain firm pressure on the brake pedal. 5. Insert a small screwdriver or similar tool
down into the gear selector override
access hole (at the left front corner of the
gear selector assembly), and push and
hold the override release lever down.

6. Move the gear selector to the NEUTRAL position.
7. The vehicle may then be started in NEUTRAL.
8. Reinstall the gear selector boot.
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.

FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand
or snow, it can often be moved using a
rocking motion. Turn the steering wheel right
and left to clear the area around the front
wheels. For vehicles with automatic trans-
mission, push and hold the lock button on
the gear selector. Then shift back and forth
between DRIVE and REVERSE (with auto -
matic transmission) or SECOND GEAR and
REVERSE (with manual transmission), while
gently pressing the accelerator.
NOTE:
For vehicles with automatic transmission:
Shifts between DRIVE and REVERSE can
only be achieved at wheel speeds of 5 mph
(8 km/h) or less. Whenever the transmission
remains in NEUTRAL for more than two
seconds, you must press the brake pedal to
engage DRIVE or REVERSE.
Use the least amount of accelerator pedal
pressure that will maintain the rocking
motion without spinning the wheels or racing
the engine. NOTE:
Push the “ESC OFF” switch (if necessary), to
place the Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system in “Partial Off” mode, before rocking
the vehicle. Refer to “Electronic Brake
Control System” in “Safety” for further infor
-
mation. Once the vehicle has been freed,
push the "ESC OFF" switch again to restore
“ESC On” mode.
CAUTION!
Racing the engine or spinning the wheels
may lead to transmission overheating
and failure. Allow the engine to idle with
the transmission in NEUTRAL for at
least one minute after every five
rocking-motion cycles. This will mini -
mize overheating and reduce the risk of
clutch or transmission failure during
prolonged efforts to free a stuck vehicle.
When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by
shifting between DRIVE/SECOND GEAR
and REVERSE, do not spin the wheels
faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drive -
train damage may result.
Revving the engine or spinning the
wheels too fast may lead to transmission
overheating and failure. It can also
damage the tires. Do not spin the wheels
above 30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear
(no transmission shifting occurring).
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous.
Forces generated by excessive wheel
speeds may cause damage, or even failure,
of the axle and tires. A tire could explode
and injure someone. Do not spin your
vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph
(48 km/h) or for longer than 30 seconds
continuously without stopping when you
are stuck and do not let anyone near a
spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.

TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
This section describes procedures for towing a disabled vehicle using a commercial towing service.
Proper towing or lifting equipment is
required to prevent damage to your vehicle.
Use only tow bars and other equipment
designed for this purpose, following equip-
ment manufacturer’s instructions. Use of
safety chains is mandatory. Attach a tow bar
or other towing devices to main structural
members of the vehicle, not to bumpers or
associated brackets. State and local laws
regarding vehicles under tow must be
observed.
NOTE:
You must ensure that the Auto Park Brake
feature is disabled before towing this
vehicle, to avoid inadvertent Electric Park
Brake engagement. The Auto Park Brake feature is enabled or disabled via the
customer programmable features in the
Uconnect Settings.
Vehicles with a discharged battery or total
electrical failure when the electric park
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.
If you must use the accessories (wipers,
defrosters, etc.) while being towed, the igni -
tion must be in the ON/RUN mode, not the
ACC mode. NOTE:
The Safehold feature will engage the Electric
Park Brake whenever the driver's door is
opened (if the battery is connected, ignition
is ON, transmission is not in PARK, and
brake pedal is released). If you are towing
this vehicle with the ignition in the ON/RUN
mode, you must manually disable the Elec
-
tric Park Brake each time the driver's door is
opened, by pressing the brake pedal and
then releasing the EPB.
If the vehicle’s battery is discharged, refer to
“Gear Selector Override” in this section for
instructions on shifting the automatic trans -
mission out of PARK so that the vehicle can
be moved.
