TIRE SERVICE KIT
Description
If a tire is punctured, you can make an
emergency repair using the Tire Service
Kit located in the trunk beneath the load
floor.
The Tire Service 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 pamphlet for reference
in prompt and correct use of the Tire
Service Kit, which must be then given to
the personnel dealing with the
sealant-treated tire.
A pair of protective gloves.
Adaptors for inflating different
elements.
Note: The sealant is effective with
external temperatures of between -40°F
(-40°C) and 122°F (50°C). The sealant
has an expiration date.
To use the Tire Service 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.
Activate the hazard warning flashers,
remove the safety triangle from the trunk, 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 service kit hoses to
reach the valve stem and keep the tire
repair kit flat on the ground.
3. Place the gear selector to PARK (P).
4. Apply the electric park brake and
cycle 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.

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.

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 sealant 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 of turning the compressor on,
do not drive the vehicle, and contact your
authorized dealer.
9. Drive the vehicle for about 5 miles
(8 km), stop, apply the electric park
brake, and recheck the tire pressure.10. If the pressure is less than 26 psi
(1.8 bar),
DO NOTdrive the vehicle, and
see your 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 park brake applied), and drive
immediately with great care to your
authorized dealer.
Warning!
Tire Service Kit is not a permanent flat tire
repair. Have the tire inspected and repaired
or replaced after using Tire Service 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 your 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 Service 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.

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.08066S0009EMSealant Cartridge Replacement

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 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 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 the remote
negative (-) post of the discharged
vehicle.
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 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.
REFUELING IN EMERGENCY
Refueling in an emergency is described in
