Tire Service Kit Usage Precautions
Replace the Tire Service Kit Sealant Bottle prior 
to the expiration date (printed at the lower right 
hand corner on the bottle label) to assure 
optimum operation of the system. See the 
Sealant Bottle Replacement in this section for 
further information.
The Sealant Bottle is a one tire application use 
and needs 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.
The Tire Service Kit Sealant is only intended to 
seal punctures less than 1/4 inch (6 mm) diam
-
eter in the tread/contact surface of your 
vehicle’s tires.
The Tire Service Kit Sealant is not intended to 
seal punctures on the tires' side walls.
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 inflat
-
able 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.
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 circumstances:
If the puncture in the tire tread is approxi -
mately 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 pressure.
If the tire has any damage from driving on 
a flat tire.
If the wheel has any damage.
If you are unsure of the condition of the 
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 warnings can result in injuries 
that are serious or fatal to you, your passen -
gers, 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 irrita -
tion. 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.
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 swal -
lowed, rinse mouth immediately with plenty of 
water and drink plenty of water. Do not induce 
vomiting! Consult a physician immediately.

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 equipment manufacturer’s instructions. 
Use of safety chains is mandatory. Attach a tow bar 
or other towing device to main structural members 
of the vehicle, not to fascia/bumper 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 (if 
rear wheels are on the ground), to avoid inadver -
tent Electric Park Brake (EPB) 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 elec -
trical failure when the 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.
FCA US LLC 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).
NOTE:Ensure that the Electric Park Brake is released, 
and remains released, while being towed.
