ness, have them checked with a torque
wrench by an authorized dealer or service
station.
Refer to “Torque Specifications” in
“Technical Specifications” for the proper
lug bolt torque.
5. Lower the jack until it is free. Remove the wheel chocks. Reassemble the lug
wrench to the jack assembly and stow it
in the spare tire area. Secure the
assembly using the means provided.
Release the parking brake before driving
the vehicle.

Jack Usage Precautions
To complete the Use and Maintenance
Handbook to which this supplement is
attached, given below are some instructions
on the proper use of the jack.MaintenanceMake sure grime does not build up on the
“worm screw.”
Keep the “worm screw” lubricated.
Never modify the jack.
Conditions Of Non-Use:
Temperatures below −40°F (-40°C).
On sandy or muddy ground.
On uneven ground.
On steep roads.
In extreme weather conditions: thunder -
storms, typhoons, hurricanes, blizzards,
storms, etc.
NOTE:
The jack requires no adjustment.
The jack cannot be repaired, and in the
event of a fault, it must be replaced by
another genuine one.
No tool other than its cranking device may
be fitted on the jack.
WARNING!
When using the crank, make sure it turns
freely without the risk of scraping hands
against the ground.
Even the moving parts of the jack, the
“worm screw” and joints can cause
injuries: avoid contact with them. Clean it
thoroughly if dirtied with grease.
CAUTION!
The jack is a tool designed exclusively for
changing a wheel, in case of a puncture or
damage to a tire of the vehicle on which it
is fitted or on vehicles of the same model.
Any other use, e.g. to jack up other vehicle
models or different things, is strictly
prohibited. Never use it to carry out
maintenance or repairs under the vehicle
or to change summer/winter wheels and
vice versa. Never go under the raised
vehicle. If any work under the vehicle is
necessary, contact an authorized dealer.
Incorrect placing of the jack can cause the
vehicle to drop: use it only in the positions
indicated. Do not use the jack for loads
higher than that specified on the label.
Never start the engine with vehicle raised.
If the vehicle is raised more than
necessary, everything can become more
unstable, with the risk of the vehicle
dropping violently. Therefore raise the
vehicle only as much as necessary for the
wheel/spare.

Tire Service Kit Usage Precautions
Replace the Tire Service Kit Sealant
Bottle and Sealant Hose prior to the expi -
ration date (printed at the upper right
hand corner on the bottle label) to assure
optimum operation of the system. Refer to
“Sealant Bottle And Hose Replacement”
in this section for further information.
The Sealant Bottle and Sealant Hose are a
one tire application use and need to be
replaced after each use. Always replace
these components immediately at your
original equipment vehicle dealer.
When the Tire Service Kit sealant is in a
liquid form, clean water and a damp cloth
will remove the material from the vehicle
or tire and wheel components. Once the
sealant dries, it can easily be peeled off
and properly discarded.
For optimum performance, make sure the
valve stem on the wheel is free of debris
before connecting the Tire Service Kit.
You can use the Tire Service Kit air pump
to inflate bicycle tires. The kit also comes
with two needles, located in the Accessory
Storage Compartment (on the bottom of
the air pump) for inflating sport balls,

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.

3. Place the transmission in PARK (P) (autotransmission) or in Gear (manual trans -
mission) and place the ignition in the
OFF position.

(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

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
