11. Apply the adhesive label from the sealant bottle where it can be easily seen by the
driver as a reminder that the tire has been
treated with a Tire Service Kit, as well as not
to exceed the speed restriction for the
treated tire.

NOTE:
Only use original sealant cartridges, which can be
purchased at an authorized dealer.
CHECKING AND RESTORING TIRE
P
RESSURE
The compressor can also be used to check and, if
necessary, restore the tire pressure.
Proceed as follows:
1. Make sure that the power switch is in the O
(off) position.
2. Connect the hose directly to the valve on the tire to be inflated.
3. Insert the plug into the socket in the passenger compartment or in the cargo area
and start the engine. 4. Start the compressor by putting the power
switch to I (on). As soon as the correct pres -
sure is reached, put the power switch to O
(off).
Air Compressor And Components
If the tire is overinflated, reduce the pressure by
pushing the PSI/BAR button and releasing it
when the correct pressure is reached.
JUMP STARTING
If your vehicle has a discharged battery, it can be
jump started from the remote battery
connections by using a set of jumper cables and
a battery in another vehicle, or by using a
portable battery booster pack. Jump starting can
be dangerous if done improperly, so please follow
the procedures in this section carefully.

NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster pack,
follow the manufacturer's operating instructions
and precautions.
REMOTE BATTERY CONNECTION POSTS
Your vehicle is equipped with remote battery
connection posts for jump starting. Depending on
the vehicle model, remote post locations may
vary.
WARNING!
Do not adhere the speed restriction sticker to
the padded area on the steering wheel.
Adhering the speed restriction sticker to the
padded area on the steering wheel is
dangerous because the air bag may not
operate (deploy) normally resulting in serious
injury. In addition, do not adhere the sticker to
areas where warning lights or the
speedometer cannot be viewed.
5 — Hose
7 — Power Switch
8 — Pressure Gauge
9 — PSI/BAR Button
WARNING!
Do not attempt jump starting if the battery is
frozen. It could rupture or explode and cause
personal injury.
CAUTION!
Do not use the battery for jump starting the
vehicle. Improperly connecting the jumper
cables or booster pack to the battery can
result in electrical system and fuse failure.
Always use the remote battery connection
posts to jump start your vehicle.
Do not use a portable battery booster pack or
any other booster source with a system
voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to
the battery, starter motor, alternator or
electrical system may occur.

The remote jump starting battery posts can be
found inside the engine compartment.Remote Battery Post Locations
The remote positive (+) post is located above the
engine stabilizer bar, which can be accessed by
opening the spring loaded protective red flap.
Remote Positive (+) Protective Flap Remote Positive (+) Post
The remote negative (-) post is an exposed stud,
positioned next to the passenger side hood lock
on the upper frame rail.
Remote Negative (-) Post Location To carry out the operation, you need to have the
correct cables to connect to the battery of
another vehicle or a portable battery booster
pack to the remote posts of the discharged
battery. Usually, these cables have terminals at
the ends and are identified by different sheath
colors (red = positive, black = negative).

colors (red = positive, black = negative).JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE
Preparation For Jump Starting:
1. Firmly apply the park brake, and cycle the ignition to OFF.
2. Turn off all electrical features in the vehicle.
3. If using another vehicle to jump start the battery, park the vehicle within the jumper
cables reach, apply the park brake and make
sure the ignition is OFF.
WARNING!
Do not connect the jumper cable to the
negative (-) post of the discharged battery. The
resulting electrical spark could cause the
battery to explode and could result in serious
injury. Only use the specific ground point, do
not use any other exposed metal parts.
WARNING!
Failure to follow this jump starting procedure
could result in personal injury or property
damage due to battery explosion.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these procedures could result
in damage to the charging system of the
booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.
WARNING!
Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as
this could establish a ground connection and
personal injury could result.

Cable Connection
Proceed as follows to perform a jump starting
procedure:
1. Connect the positive (+) end of the jumper
cable to the remote positive (+) post of the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
2. Connect the opposite end of the positive (+)
jumper cable to the positive (+) post of the
booster battery.
3. Connect the negative (-) end of the jumper
cable to the negative (-) post of the booster
battery.
4. Connect the opposite end of the negative (-)
jumper cable to the remote negative (-) post
of the discharged vehicle.
5. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery, let the engine idle a few
minutes, and then start the engine in the
vehicle with the discharged battery. If using a
portable battery booster pack, before starting
the vehicle, wait a few seconds after
completing the connection.
6. Once the engine is started, follow the discon -
nection procedure. Cable Disconnection
1. Disconnect the negative
(-) end of the jumper
cable from the remote negative (-) post of the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
2. Disconnect the opposite end of the negative (-) jumper cable from the negative (-) post of
the booster battery.
3. Disconnect the positive (+) end of the jumper
cable from the positive (+) post of the booster
battery.
4. Disconnect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper cable from the remote positive (+)
post of the vehicle with the discharged
battery, and reinstall the protective cap.
If frequent jump starting is required to start your
vehicle, you should have the battery and charging
system inspected at an authorized dealer.
BUMP STARTING
Never jump start the engine by pushing, towing or
coasting downhill.

NOTE:
You cannot start a vehicle with an automatic
transmission by pushing it.
ENGINE OVERHEATING
If your vehicle is overheating, it will need to be
serviced at an authorized dealer.
Engine overheating may occur in situations such
as (but not limited to) extreme environmental
temperatures or frequent engine stops/starts. If
the engine becomes overheated, the Engine
Temperature Warning Light in the instrument
cluster will illuminate along with a dedicated
message

Ú
page 75.
In any of the following situations, you can reduce
the potential for overheating by taking the
appropriate action.
On the highways — slow down.
In city traffic — while stopped, place the
transmission in NEUTRAL, but do not increase
engine idle speed.

NOTE:
There are steps that you can take to slow down an
impending overheat condition:
If your Air Conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off.
The A/C system adds heat to the engine
cooling system and turning the A/C off can
help remove this heat.
You can also turn the temperature control to
maximum heat, the mode control to floor and
the blower control to high. This allows the
heater core to act as a supplement to the
radiator and aids in removing heat from the
engine cooling system.
WARNING!
Do not connect the jumper cable to the
negative (-) post of the discharged battery. The
resulting electrical spark could cause the
battery to explode and could result in serious
injury. Only use the specific ground point, do
not use any other exposed metal parts. CAUTION!
Accessories plugged into the vehicle power
outlets draw power from the vehicle’s battery,
even when not in use (i.e., cellular phones,
etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long enough
without engine operation, the vehicle’s battery
will discharge sufficiently to degrade battery
life and/or prevent the engine from starting.
