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

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.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS —
DIESEL ENGINE
Use good quality diesel fuel from a reputable
supplier. If the outside temperature is very
low, the diesel fuel thickens due to the
formation of paraffin clots with consequent
defective operation of the fuel supply
system.
In order to avoid these problems different
types of fuel are distributed according to the
season: Summer type, Winter type and arctic
type (cold/mountain areas). If fueling with
diesel fuel whose features are not suitable
for the temperature of use, it is advisable to
mix in a suitable additive with the fuel. With
the proportions shown on the container, pour
the additive in the tank before fueling.
When using or parking the vehicle for a long
time in the mountains or cold areas, it is
advisable to refuel using locally available
fuel. In this case, it is also advisable to keep
the tank over half full.
This vehicle must only use premium diesel fuel
that meets the requirements of EN 590. Biodiesel
blends up to 7% that meet EN 590 may also be
used.
Diesel fuel is seldom completely free of
water. To prevent fuel system trouble, drain
the accumulated water from the fuel/water
separator using the provided fuel/water
separator drain. If you buy good quality fuel
and follow the cold weather advice above,
fuel conditioners should not be required in
your vehicle. If available in your area, a high
cetane “premium” diesel fuel may offer
improved cold-starting and warm-up perfor
-
mance.
Fuel Icon Identification Compliant To
EN16942
The following symbols make it easier to
recognize the correct type of fuel to be used
on your vehicle. Before proceeding with the
supply, check the symbols placed inside the
fuel filler flap (if present) and compare them
with the symbol on the fuel pump (if
present).
WARNING!
Do not use alcohol or gasoline as a
fuel-blending agent. They can be unstable
under certain conditions and hazardous or
explosive when mixed with diesel fuel.
CAUTION!
The manufacturer requires that you must
fuel this vehicle with Ultra Low Sulfur
Highway Diesel fuel (15 ppm Sulfur
maximum) and prohibits the use of Low
Sulfur Highway Diesel fuel.
