rafts, or similar inflatable items. However,
use only the Air Pump Hose and make sure
the Mode Select Knob is in the Air Mode
when inflating such items to avoid
injecting sealant into them. The Tire
Service Kit Sealant is only intended to seal
punctures less than 1/4 inch (6 mm)
diameter in the tread of your tire.
Do not lift or carry the Tire Service Kit by
the hoses.
Sealing A Tire With Tire Service Kit
(A) 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 Hoses and 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 injecting
the sealant into the deflated tire and
running the air pump. Move the vehicle
as necessary to place the valve stem in
this position before proceeding.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to seal a tire on the side
of the vehicle closest to traffic. Pull far
enough off the road to avoid the danger
of being hit when using the Tire Service
Kit.
Do not use Tire Service Kit or drive the
vehicle under the following circum -
stances:
If the puncture in the tire tread is
approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) or
larger.
If the tire has any sidewall damage.
If the tire has any damage from driving with extremely low tire pres-
sure.
If the tire has any damage fromdriving on a flat tire.
If the wheel has any damage.
If you are unsure of the condition ofthe tire or the wheel.
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 warn -
ings 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.
WARNING! (Continued)
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 swallowed, rinse
mouth immediately with plenty of water
and drink plenty of water. Do not induce
vomiting! Consult a physician immedi -
ately.

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

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
2020_JEEP_CHEROKEE_UG_RHD_UK.book Page 206

207
Gauge will decrease quickly from approx-
imately 70 psi (4.8 Bar) to the actual tire
pressure when the Sealant Bottle is
empty.
2. The pump will start to inject air into the tire immediately after the Sealant Bottle
is empty. Continue to operate the pump
and inflate the tire to the pressure indi -
cated on the tire pressure label on the
driver-side latch pillar (recommended
pressure). Check the tire pressure by
looking at the Pressure Gauge.

If the tire does not inflate to at least 26 psi (1.8 Bar)
pressure within 15 minutes:

NOTE:
Never operate the compressor for longer than
20 minutes. Risk of Overheating.
The tire is too badly damaged. Do not
attempt to drive the vehicle further. Call
for assistance.
NOTE:
If the tire becomes overinflated, push the
Deflation Button to reduce the tire pressure
to the recommended inflation pressure
before continuing. If the tire inflates to the recommended pressure
or is at least 26 psi (1.8 Bar) pressure within
15 minutes:
1. Push the Power Button to turn off the
Tire Service Kit.
2. Remove the Speed Limit sticker from the top of the Sealant Bottle and place the
sticker on the instrument panel. 3. Immediately disconnect the Sealant
