Jack Warning Label1. Remove the spare tire, jack, and wheel
bolt wrench.
2. If equipped with aluminum wheels where the center cap covers the wheel bolts,
use the wheel bolt wrench to pry the
center cap off carefully before raising the
vehicle.
3. Before raising the vehicle, use the wheel bolt wrench to loosen, but not remove,
the wheel bolts on the wheel with the flat
tire. Turn the wheel bolts counterclock -
wise one turn while the wheel is still on
the ground.
4. Place the jack underneath the lift area that is closest to the flat tire. Turn the
jack screw clockwise to firmly engage the
jack saddle with the lift area of the sill
flange, centering the jack saddle inside
the cutout in the sill cladding.
Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.

where it can be raised on a lift.
Only use the jack in the positions indi -
cated and for lifting this vehicle during a
tire change.
If working on or near a roadway, be
extremely careful of motor traffic.
To assure that spare tires, flat or
inflated, are securely stowed, spares
must be stowed with the valve stem
facing the ground.

or nails) should not be removed from the tire.
Tire Service Kit can be used in outside
temperatures down to approximately -4°F
(-20°C). This kit will provide a temporary tire
seal, allowing you to drive your vehicle up to
100 miles (160 km) with a maximum speed
of 50 mph (80 km/h).Tire Service Kit Storage
The Tire Service Kit is stowed under the load
floor behind the rear seat.

Sealing A Tire With Tire Service Kit
Whenever You Stop To Use Tire Service Kit:
1. Pull over to a safe location and turn onthe 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 neces -
sary to place the valve stem in this posi -
tion before proceeding. 3. Place the transmission in PARK 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.
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.

TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
This section describes procedures for towing a disabled vehicle using a commercial towing service.
Proper towing or lifting equipment is
required to prevent damage to your vehicle.
Use only tow bars and other equipment
designed for this purpose, following equip-
ment manufacturer’s instructions. Use of
safety chains is mandatory. Attach a tow bar
or other towing devices to main structural
members of the vehicle, not to bumpers or
associated brackets. State and local laws
regarding vehicles under tow must be
observed.
NOTE:
You must ensure that the Auto Park Brake
feature is disabled before towing this
vehicle to avoid inadvertent Electric Park
Brake engagement. The Auto Park Brake
feature is enabled or disabled via the
customer programmable features in the
Uconnect Settings.
Vehicles with a discharged battery, or total
electrical failure when the Electric Park
Brake (EPB) is engaged, will need a wheel
dolly or jack to raise the rear wheels off the
ground when moving the vehicle onto a
flatbed.
If you must use the accessories (wipers,
defrosters, etc.) while being towed, the igni -
tion must be in the ON/RUN mode.
NOTE:
The Safehold feature will engage the Electric
Park Brake whenever the driver's door is
opened (if the battery is connected, ignition
is ON, transmission is not in PARK, and
brake pedal is released). If you are towing
this vehicle with the ignition in the ON/RUN
mode, you must manually disable the Elec -tric Park Brake each time the driver's door is
opened by pressing the brake pedal and then
releasing the EPB.
If the vehicle’s battery is discharged, refer to
“Gear Selector Override” in this section for
instructions on shifting the automatic trans
-
mission out of PARK so that the vehicle can
be moved.

Without The Key Fob
Special care must be taken when the vehicle
is towed with the ignition in the LOCK/OFF
mode. The only approved method of towing
without the key fob is with a flatbed truck.
Proper towing equipment is necessary to
prevent damage to the vehicle.
Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) Models — With
Key Fob
The manufacturer recommends towing your
vehicle with all four wheels OFF the ground
using a flatbed.
If flatbed equipment is not available, this
vehicle must be towed with the front wheels
OFF the ground (using a towing dolly, or
wheel lift equipment with the front wheels
raised). Ensure that the Electric Park Brake is
released, and remains released, while being
towed. The Electric Park Brake does not
need to be released if all four wheels are off
the ground.
4x4 Models
The manufacturer requires towing with all
four wheels
OFF the ground.
Acceptable methods are to tow the vehicle
on a flatbed, or with one end of the vehicle
raised and the opposite end on a towing
dolly.
Ensure that the Electric Park Brake is
released, and remains released, while
being towed.
Do not use a bumper mounted clamp-on
tow bar on your vehicle. The bumper face
bar will be damaged.
CAUTION! (Continued)
CAUTION!
Towing this vehicle in violation of the
above requirements can cause severe
engine and/or transmission damage.
Damage from improper towing is not
covered under the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
CAUTION!
Front or rear wheel lifts must not be used
(if the remaining wheels are on the
ground). Internal damage to the trans-
mission or transfer case will occur if a
front or rear wheel lift is used when
towing.
Towing this vehicle in violation of the
above requirements can cause severe
transmission and/or transfer case
damage. Damage from improper towing
is not covered under the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
Proper towing or lifting equipment is
required to prevent damage to your
vehicle. Use only tow bars and other
equipment designed for this purpose,
following equipment manufacturer's
instructions.
