(Continued)
PERIODIC SAFETY CHECKS YOU SHOULD 
M
AKE OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
Tires 
Examine tires for excessive tread wear and uneven 
wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or 
other objects lodged in the tread or sidewall. 
Inspect the tread for cuts and cracks. Inspect 
sidewalls for cuts, cracks, and bulges. Check the 
lug nut/bolt torque for tightness. Check the tires 
(including spare) for proper cold inflation pressure.
Lights    
Have someone observe the operation of brake 
lights and exterior lights while you work the 
controls. Check turn signal and high beam 
indicator lights on the instrument panel.
Door Latches 
Check for proper closing, latching, and locking.
Fluid Leaks  
Check area under the vehicle after overnight 
parking for fuel, coolant, oil, or other fluid leaks. 
Also, if gasoline fumes are detected or if fuel or 
brake fluid leaks are suspected, the cause should 
be located and corrected immediately.
ALWAYS REMOVE THE EXISTING FLOOR MAT 
FROM THE VEHICLE   before installing any 
other floor mat. NEVER install or stack an 
additional floor mat on top of an existing floor 
mat.
ONLY install floor mats designed to fit your 
vehicle. NEVER install a floor mat that cannot 
be properly attached and secured to your 
vehicle. If a floor mat needs to be replaced, 
only use a FCA approved floor mat for the 
specific make, model, and year of your 
vehicle.
ONLY use the driver’s side floor mat on the 
driver’s side floor area. To check for interfer -
ence, with the vehicle properly parked with the 
engine off, fully depress the accelerator, the 
brake, and the clutch pedal (if present) to 
check for interference. If your floor mat inter -
feres with the operation of any pedal, or is not 
secure to the floor, remove the floor mat from 
the vehicle and place the floor mat in your 
trunk.
ONLY use the passenger’s side floor mat on 
the passenger’s side floor area.
WARNING!
ALWAYS make sure objects cannot fall or slide 
into the driver’s side floor area when the 
vehicle is moving. Objects can become 
trapped under accelerator, brake, or clutch 
pedals and could cause a loss of vehicle 
control.
NEVER place any objects under the floor mat 
(e.g., towels, keys, etc.). These objects could 
change the position of the floor mat and may 
cause interference with the accelerator, 
brake, or clutch pedals.
If the vehicle carpet has been removed and 
re-installed, always properly attach carpet to 
the floor and check the floor mat fasteners are 
secure to the vehicle carpet. Fully depress 
each pedal to check for interference with the 
accelerator, brake, or clutch pedals then 
re-install the floor mats.
It is recommended to only use mild soap and 
water to clean your floor mats. After cleaning, 
always check your floor mat has been properly 
installed and is secured to your vehicle using 
the floor mat fasteners by lightly pulling mat.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY259
Sealing A Tire With Tire Service Kit
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 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.
3. Place the transmission in PARK (P) and cycle  the ignition in the OFF position.
4. Apply the parking brake.
Setting Up To Use Tire Service Kit:
1. Uncoil the Sealant Hose and then remove the  cap from the fitting at the end of the hose.
2. Place the Tire Service Kit flat on 
the ground next to the deflated tire. 3. Remove the cap from the valve stem and then 
screw the fitting at the end of the Sealant Hose 
onto the valve stem.
4. 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.
Injecting Tire Service Kit Sealant Into The Deflated 
Tire:
 1. Always start the vehicle before 
turning the Tire Service Kit on.
2. Ensure the Mode Select Knob is to 
the Sealant Mode position.
3. 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 the Tire Service 
Kit off. 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 the Tire 
Service Kit on.
2. Connect the Power Plug to a different 12 Volt  power outlet in your vehicle or another vehicle, 
if available. Make sure the vehicle is running 
before turning the Tire Service Kit on.
3. The Sealant Bottle may be empty due to  previous use. Call for assistance.
If the sealant (white fluid) does flow through the 
Sealant Hose:
 1. Continue to operate the pump 
until sealant is no longer flowing 
through 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 Gauge will decrease quickly 
from approximately 70 psi (4.8 Bar) to the 
actual tire pressure when the Sealant Bottle 
is empty.

21_RUV_OM_EN_USC_t.book  Page 259   

260IN CASE OF EMERGENCY  
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 cold tire inflation pressure found on the 
tire and loading information label located in 
the driver-side door opening. 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:
The tire is too badly damaged. Do not attempt to 
drive the vehicle further. Call for assistance.
If the tire inflates to the recommended pressure or 
is at least 26 psi (1.8 Bar) pressure within 
15 minutes:
NOTE:If the tire becomes overinflated, push the Deflation 
Button to reduce the tire pressure to the recom -
mended inflation pressure before continuing.
1. Push the Power Button to turn the 
Tire Service Kit off.
2. Remove the speed limit label from 
the Tire Service Kit and place sticker 
on the steering wheel. 3. Immediately disconnect the Sealant Hose 
from the valve stem, reinstall the cap on the 
fitting at the end of the hose, and place the Tire 
Service Kit in the vehicle storage location.
Drive Vehicle: Immediately after injecting sealant and 
inflating the tire, drive the vehicle 5 miles 
(8 km) or 10 minutes to ensure distribution of the Tire Service Kit Sealant 
within the tire. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h). After Driving:
Pull over to a safe location and turn on the 
vehicle’s Hazard Warning Flashers.
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 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.
Place the transmission in PARK (P) and cycle the 
ignition in the OFF position.
Apply the parking brake.
NOTE:If tire has improper inflation follow the steps below
1. Uncoil the Sealant Hose, and then remove the 
cap from the fitting at the end of the hose.
2. Place the Tire Service Kit flat on
