TIRE REPAIR KIT —
IF EQUIPPED
Description
If a tire is punctured, you can make a
first emergency repair using the Tire
Repair Kit located in the rear storage
area under the load platform.
The Tire Repair Kit includes:
Sealant cartridge containing the
sealing fluid.
Filler tube.
Adhesive label with the writing "Max.
50 mph (80 km/h)”, to be attached in a
position easily visible to the driver (eg.
on the dashboard) after repairing the
tire.
Air compressor, complete with
pressure gauge and connectors.
An instruction leaflet for reference in
prompt and correct use of the Tire
Repair Kit, which must be then given to
the personnel dealing with the
sealant-treated tire.
A pair of protective gloves.
Some adaptors, for inflating different
elements.
Note: The sealing fluid is effective with
external temperatures of between -40°F
(-40°C) and 122°F (50°C). The sealing
fluid has an expiration date. To use the Tire Repair Kit, proceed as
follows:
1. Stop the vehicle in a position where
you can repair the tire safely. You
should be as far as possible from the
side of the road, and in a position that
is not dangerous for oncoming traffic.
Engage the hazard warning flashers,
remove the safety triangle from the
luggage compartment, and place it at a
suitable distance from the vehicle to
make other drivers aware of your
presence.
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 repair kit hoses to
reach the valve stem and keep the tire
repair kit flat on the ground.
3. Shift the gear selector to PARK (P).
4. Apply the electric parking brake and
turn the engine OFF.

Inflation Procedure
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
approximately 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 sources.
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 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.
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 immediately.
To use your Tire Repair Kit, proceed as
follows:
1. Engage the electric parking brake.
2. Insert the sealant cartridge
containing the sealing liquid in the
proper compressor holder, pushing
down hard. Unscrew the tire valve cap,
take out the filler tube and tighten the
ring nut on the tire valve. 3. Make sure the power switch of the
compressor is in the off position (O).
4. Insert the plug into the power outlet
in the center console, then start the
engine.

5. Start the compressor by placing the
power switch in the on position (I).
6. Inflate the tire to the pressure
indicated on the tire placard, located on
the driver’s side B-Pillar or the rear edge
of the driver’s side door. Refer to “Tires”
in “Servicing And Maintenance” for
more information. In order to obtain a
more precise reading, check the
pressure value on pressure gauge with
the compressor off.7. If the pressure is not at least
26.1 psi (1.8 bar) after 15 minutes,
disengage the compressor from the
valve and power outlet. Then, move the
vehicle forwards approximately five tire
turns in order to distribute the sealing
fluid inside the tire evenly, and then
repeat the inflation operation.
8. If you still cannot obtain a pressure
of at least 26 psi (1.8 bar) within
15 minutes from the compressor
switching on, do not drive the vehicle,
and contact an authorized dealer.9. Drive the vehicle for about 5 miles
(8 km), stop, engage the electric
parking brake, and recheck the tire
pressure.
10. If the pressure is less than 26 psi
(1.8 bar),
Do Notdrive the vehicle, and
see an authorized dealer.
11. If a pressure value of at least 26 psi
(1.8 bar) is detected, restore the correct
pressure (with engine running and
electric parking brake engaged), and
drive immediately with great care to an
authorized dealer.
Warning!
Tire Repair Kit is not a permanent flat tire
repair. Have the tire inspected and repaired
or replaced after using Tire Repair Kit. Do
not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) until the tire
is repaired or replaced. Failure to follow this
warning can result in injuries that are
serious or fatal to you, your passengers,
and others around you. Have the tire
checked as soon as possible at an
authorized dealer.

12. 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
Repair Kit, as well as not to exceed the
speed restriction for the treated tire.
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.
Checking And Restoring
Tire Pressure
The compressor can also be used to
check and, if necessary, restore the tire
pressure.
Proceed as follows:
1. Release the quick connector and
connect it directly to the valve of the tire
to be inflated.
2. Push the air release button.
Sealant Cartridge
Replacement
Note:Only use original cartridges,
which can be purchased at an
authorized dealer.
Proceed as follows:
1. Remove the sealant cartridge by
pushing the release button located on
the side of the compressor.
2. Insert the new sealant cartridge by
pushing downward firmly.

EMERGENCY
STARTING
If your vehicle has a discharged battery,
it can be jump-started 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.
Warning!
Do not attempt jump-starting if the battery
is frozen. It could rupture or explode and
cause personal injury.
Caution!
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.
Remote Battery
Connection Posts
The negative terminal (-) is positioned
next to the passenger side hood lock.
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.
The positive post (+) can be accessed
by lifting the protective flap.
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).

Jump Starting
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.
Preparation For Jump Starting:
1. Firmly apply the parking brake, and
turn the ignition to the STOP position.
2. Switch 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, set the parking
brake and make sure the ignition is OFF.
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 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 a good
engine ground of the vehicle with the
discharged battery (exposed metal part
of the engine) away from the battery
and the fuel injection 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.
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.
Cable Disconnection
Once the engine is started, remove the
connection cables in reverse sequence,
as described below:
1. Disconnect the negative (-) jumper
cable from the engine (-) ground of the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
2. Disconnect the negative end (-) of
the jumper cable from the negative (-)
post of the booster battery.
3. Disconnect the opposite end of the
positive (+) jumper cable from the
positive (+) post of the booster battery.

4. Disconnect the positive (+) end of
the jumper cable from the positive (+)
post of the vehicle with the discharged
battery.
If frequent jump-starting is required to
start your vehicle, you should have the
battery and charging system inspected
at your authorized dealer.
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.
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.
Caution!
Accessories plugged into the vehicle power
outlets draw power from the vehicle’s
battery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular
