Periodic Safety Checks You Should Make
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 wheel nuts 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.
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 acceler-
ator, 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.

system. Refer to “Sealant Bottle Replace-
ment” in this section.
The Sealant Bottle is a one tire application
use and needs to be replaced after each
use. Always replace these components
immediately from an authorized 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 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 vehicle.
Do not lift or carry the Tire Service Kit by
the hoses.
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) orlarger.
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 from driving on a flat tire.

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.
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 infla -
tion pressure found on the tire and
loading information label located in the
