CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
(IF EQUIPPED) WARNING:
Do not use the cross
traffic alert system as a replacement for
using the interior and exterior mirrors or
looking over your shoulder before
reversing out of a parking space. The cross
traffic alert system is not a replacement for
careful driving. WARNING:
The system may not
operate properly during severe weather
conditions, for example snow, ice, heavy
rain and spray. Always drive with due care
and attention. Failure to take care may
result in a crash.
The system alerts you of vehicles
approaching from the sides behind your
vehicle when you shift into reverse (R).
Using Cross Traffic Alert
The system detects vehicles that approach
at a speed between
4 mph (6 km/h) and
37 mph (60 km/h). Coverage decreases when
the sensors are partially, mostly or fully
obstructed. Slowly reversing helps increase
the coverage area and effectiveness.
The system turns on when you start the
engine and you shift into reverse (R). The
system turns off when you shift out of reverse
(R).

Note:
If you are proceeding from the First
Stage: Reinflating the Tire with Sealing
Compound and Air section and have injected
sealant in the tire but the pressure is below
20 psi (1.4 bar), stop and call roadside
assistance. If tire pressure is above 20 psi
(1.4 bar), continue to the next step.
4. If required, turn on the compressor and adjust the tire to the recommended
inflation pressure shown on the tire label
located on the driver's door or door jamb
area. The tire pressure should be
checked with the compressor turned OFF
in order to get an accurate pressure
reading.
5. Remove the hoses, re-install the valve cap on the tire and return the kit to the
stowage area. WARNING:
The air compressor
power plug may be hot after use. Allow it
to cool before handling. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury. What to do after the Tire has been
Sealed WARNING:
If you experience any
unusual vibration, ride disturbance or noise
while driving, reduce your speed until you
can safely pull off to the side of the road
and call for roadside assistance. Failure to
do so could cause you to lose control of
your vehicle and increase the risk of
personal injury or death.
Note: After the sealing compound has been
used, the maximum vehicle speed is 50 mph
(80 km/h) and the maximum driving distance
is
120 mi (200 km). The sealed tire should
be inspected immediately.
You can check the tire pressure any time
within the
120 mi (200 km) by performing the
steps listed previously in the Second stage:
Checking Tire Pressure procedure. Servicing your TMK after use
After using the kit to seal your tire, you need
to replace the sealant bottle. Sealant bottle
replacement kits can be obtained at an
authorized dealer. Empty sealant bottles may
be disposed of at home. However, bottles
still containing liquid sealant should be
disposed of by your local authorized dealer
or tire dealer, or in accordance with local
waste disposal regulation.
Removal of the sealant bottle from the kit
1. Unwrap the dual purpose hose (black
tube) from the compressor housing.
