CHECKING THE TIRE
PRESSURES
Safe operation of your vehiclerequires that your tires areproperly inflated. Every day beforeyou drive, check your tires.
At least once a month and beforelong trips, inspect each tire andcheck the tire pressure with a tiregauge. Inflate all tires to therecommended inflation pressure.See Inflating the Tires (page351).
INFLATING THE TIRES
WARNING: Under-inflationis the most common cause oftire failures and may result insevere tire cracking, treadseparation or blowout, withunexpected loss of vehiclecontrol and increased risk ofinjury. Under-inflation increasessidewall flexing and rollingresistance, resulting in heatbuildup and internal damage tothe tire. It also may result inunnecessary tire stress, irregularwear, loss of vehicle control andaccidents. A tire can lose up tohalf of its air pressure and notappear to be flat!
WARNING: Do not use thetire pressure displayed in theinformation display as a tirepressure gauge. Failure to followthis instruction could result inpersonal injury or death.
Use the recommended coldinflation pressure for optimum tireperformance and wear.Under-inflation or over-inflationmay cause uneven treadwearpatterns.
Inflate your tires to therecommended inflation pressureeven if it is less than the maximuminflation pressure informationfound on the tire. You can find thetire label with the recommendedtire inflation pressure next to thetire size on the B-Pillar or the edgeof the driver door.
The recommended tire inflationpressure is also found on theSafety Compliance CertificationLabel, affixed to either the doorhinge pillar, door-latch post, or thedoor edge that meets thedoor-latch on the B-pillar, or onthe edge of the driver door.
Failure to follow the tire pressurerecommendations can causeuneven treadwear patterns andadversely affect the way yourvehicle handles.

Highway Hazards
No matter how carefully you drive,there is always the possibility thatyou could eventually have a flattire on the highway. Drive slowlyto the closest safe area out oftraffic. This could further damagethe flat tire, but your safety ismore important.
If you feel a sudden vibration orride disturbance while driving, oryou suspect your tire or vehiclehas been damaged, immediatelyreduce your speed. Drive withcaution until you can safely pulloff the road. Stop and inspect thetires for damage. If a tire isunder-inflated or damaged,deflate it, remove the wheel andreplace it with your spare tire andwheel. If you cannot detect acause, have the vehicle towed tothe nearest repair facility or tiredealer to have the vehicleinspected.
Tire and Wheel Alignment
A bad jolt from hitting a curb orpothole can cause the front endof your vehicle to becomemisaligned or cause damage toyour tires. If your vehicle seems topull to one side when you aredriving, the wheels could be out ofalignment. Have an authorizeddealer check the wheel alignmentperiodically.
Wheel misalignment in the frontor the rear can cause uneven andrapid treadwear of your tires andshould be corrected by anauthorized dealer.
INSPECTING THE WHEEL
VALVE STEMS
Check the valve stems for holes,cracks, or cuts that could permitair leakage.
TIRE ROTATION
WARNING: If the tire labelshows different tire pressures forthe front and rear tires and thevehicle has a tire pressuremonitoring system, then youneed to update the settings forthe system sensors. Alwaysperform the system resetprocedure after tire rotation. Ifyou do not reset the system, itmay not provide a low tirepressure warning whennecessary.
Rotating your tires at therecommended interval will helpyour tires wear more evenly,providing better tire performanceand longer tire life.
Note:If your tires show any unevenwear have the alignment checkedby an authorized dealer beforerotating tires.

WHAT IS THE TIRE SEALANT
AND INFLATOR KIT
The kit consists of an air compressor tore-inflate the tire and a canister of sealingcompound that effectively seals mostpunctures. This kit provides a temporarytire repair allowing you to drive your vehicleup to 120 mi (200 km) at a maximumspeed of 50 mph (80 km/h) to reach a tireservice location.
Note:The temporary mobility kit containsenough sealant compound in the canisterfor one tire repair only. See an authorizeddealer for replacement sealant canisters.
TIRE SEALANT AND INFLATOR
KIT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Depending on the typeand extent of tire damage, some tirescan only be partially sealed or not sealedat all. Loss of tire pressure can affectvehicle handling, leading to loss ofvehicle control.
WARNING: Do not use the kit on apreviously damaged tire, for examplewhen it has been driven under inflated.This could cause loss of vehicle control,personal injury or death.
Do not attempt to repair punctures largerthan 0.24 in (6 mm) or damage to the tire'ssidewall.
Only punctures located within the tiretread can be sealed with the kit.
Only use the kit supplied with your vehicle.
The temporary mobility kit containsenough sealant compound in the canisterfor one tire repair only.
After using the sealant, an authorizeddealer needs to replace the tire pressuremonitoring system sensor and valve stemon the wheel.
LOCATING THE TIRE SEALANT

USING THE TIRE SEALANT
AND INFLATOR KIT
Tips for use of the kit
To make sure the kit operates safely andproperly, observe the following:
•Before operating the kit, make sureyour vehicle is safely off the road andaway from moving traffic.
•Do not remove any foreign objects,such as nails or screws, from the tire.
•Do not allow the compressor tooperate continuously for more than 15minutes. This prevents the compressorfrom overheating.
•Only use the kit when the ambienttemperature is between -22°F (-30°C)and 158°F (70°C).
•Only use the sealing compound beforethe use-by date. The use-by date is ona label on the sealant canister and canbe seen through the rectangularviewing window on the bottom of thecompressor. Check the use-by dateregularly and replace the canister whenthe sealant expires.
Note:Sealant compound contains latex.Use appropriate precautions to avoid anyallergic reactions.
Place the selector in the Airposition when inflating a tire orother objects.
What to do when a tire is punctured
A tire puncture within the tire's tread areacan be repaired in two stages with the kit.
•In the first stage, the tire is reinflatedwith a sealing compound and air. Afterthe tire has been inflated, drive thevehicle a short distance approximately4 mi (6 km) to distribute the sealant inthe tire.
•In the second stage, check the tirepressure and adjust, if necessary, to thevehicle's specified tire inflationpressure.
First Stage: Reinflating the Tirewith sealing compound and air
WARNING: Do not stand directlyover the kit while inflating the tire. If younotice any unusual bulges ordeformations in the tire's sidewall duringinflation, stop and call roadsideassistance.
