wheel DODGE VIPER 2010 ZB II / 2.G Owner's Manual

TIREFIT Instructions
• TIREFIT will temporarily seal small punctures up to14in.(6 mm) in the tire tread allowing
you to drive your vehicle up to 100 mi (160 km) with a maximum speed of 55 mph
(90 km/hr). TIREFIT can be used in outside temperatures down to approximately -4°F
(-20°C).
NOTE: Do not remove foreign objects (e.g., screws or nails) from the tire.
• Verify that the valve stem is close to the ground.
• Put on the gloves from the TIREFIT Kit Accessory Storage Compartment.
• Turn the Mode Select knob to the Sealant Mode position
.
• Remove the Yellow Cap from the fitting at the end of the Clear Sealant Hose.
• Remove the valve stem cap and screw the fitting at the end of the Clear Sealant Hose onto the valve stem.
• Insert the Power Plug into the vehicle’s 12-volt power outlet.
• Start the engine and then press the Power button
. The sealant (white fluid) will
flow from the Sealant Bottle through the Clear Sealant Hose and into the tire.
NOTE:
• Sealant may leak out through the puncture in the tire.
• If the sealant (white fluid) does not flow withi n0–10secondsthrough the Clear
Sealant Hose: • Press the Power button
to turn OFF the TIREFIT kit.
• Disconnect the Clear Sealant Hose and make sure the valve stem is free of debris.
• Repeat previous steps to verify sealant will flow, making sure the Mode Select knob is in Sealant Mode
.
• Continue to operate the pump until seal ant is no longer flowing through the hose
(typically takes 30 - 70 seconds). As the sealant flows through the Clear Sealant Hose,
the pressure gauge can read as high as 70 psi. The pressure gauge will decrease
quickly from approximately 70 psi to the actual tire pressure when the sealant bottle is
empty.
• The pump will start to inject air into the tire immediately after the sealant bottle is
empty. Continue to operate the pump and inflate the tire to the pressure indicated on
the Tire and Loading Information label on the driver's side door opening. Check the
tire pressure by looking at the pressure gauge.
NOTE: If the tire does not inflate to at least 26 psi pressure within 15 minutes, the tire is
too badly damaged. Do not attempt to drive the vehicle further. Call for assistance.
• If the tire inflates to the recommended pressure or is at least 26 psi pressure within 15 minutes, press the Power button
to turn off the TIREFIT kit.
• Remove the Speed Limit sticker from the top of the Sealant Bottle and place the sticker on the steering wheel.
• Immediately disconnect the Clear Sealant Ho se from the valve stem, reinstall the
Yellow Cap on the fitting at the end of the hose, and place the TIREFIT kit in the vehicle
storage location. Quickly proceed to the next step.

CAUTION!
• The metal end fitting from the Power Plug and Cable may get hot after use andshould be handled carefully.
• Failure to reinstall the Yellow Cap on the fitting at the end of the Clear Sealant Hose can result in sealant contacting your skin, clothing, and the vehicle’s interior. It can
also result in sealant contacting internal TIREFIT kit components which may cause
permanent damage to the kit.
• Immediately after injecting sealant and infl ating the tire, drive the vehicle 5 mi (8 km)
or 10 minutes to ensure distribution of the TIREFIT Sealant within the tire. Do not
exceed 55 mph (88 km/h).
• Pull over and repeat Preparations for Jacking or Tire Repair.
• Turn the Mode Select knob to the Air Mode position
.
• Connect the Black Air Pump Hose to the valve stem.
• Check the pressure in the tire by reading the Pressure Gauge.
NOTE: If tire pressure is less than 19 psi, the tire is too badly damaged. Do not attempt
to drive the vehicle fur ther. Call forassistance.
• If the tire pressure is 19 psi or higher, press the Power button
and inflate the tire
to the pressure indicated on the Tire and Loading Information label on the driver's
side door opening.
• Disconnect the TIREFIT kit from the valve stem and then reinstall the valve stem cap.
• Place the TIREFIT kit in its proper storage area in the vehicle.
• Have the tire inspected and repaired or replaced at the earliest opportunity at an authorized service center.
NOTE: When having the tire serviced, advise the authorized dealer or service center
that the tire has been sealed using the TIREFIT service kit.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for Sealant Bottle and Hose Replacement.
WARNING!
Do not use TIREFIT or drive the vehicle under the following circumstances:
• If the cut or puncture in the tire tread is approximately 0.24 in (6 mm) or larger.
• If the tire has any sidewall damage.
• If the tire has any damage from driv ing 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.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
• If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved by arocking motion. Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the
front wheels. Then shift back and forth between REVERSE and 1st gear. Using minimal
accelerator pedal pressure to maintain the rocking motion, without spinning the
wheels, is most effective.
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces generated by excessive wheel speeds
may cause tire damage or failure. A tire could explode and injure someone. Do not
spin your vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) when you are stuck. Do not
let anyone near a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.
CAUTION!
• When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by moving between 1st and REVERSE, do not spin the wheels faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain damage may result.
• Revving the engine or s pinning the wheels too fast ma y lead to transmission
overheating and failure. It can also damage the tires. Do not spin the wheels above
30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear (no transmission shifting occurring).

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

WHEEL AND WHEEL TRIM CARE
• All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated wheels, should becleaned regularly with a mild soap and water to prevent corrosion.
• To remove heavy soil and/or excessive brake dust, use MOPAR
®Wheel Cleaner or
equivalent or select a non-ab rasive,non-acidic cleaner.
CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a bristle brush, or metal polishes. Do not use
oven cleaner. These products may damage the wheel's protective finish. Avoid
automatic car washes that use acidic solution s or harsh brushes that may damage the
wheel's protective finish. Only MOPAR
®Wheel Cleaner or equivalent is recommended.

VEHICLE STORAGE
We recommend that you follow these guidelines for storing your vehicle for extended
periods.
• Fill the fuel tank. This will prevent water condensation inside the tank. If you plan to store your vehicle more than two months, add an anti-oxidant fuel stabilizer to the
fuel tank.
• Change the oil to remove any corrosive combustion related acids in the crankcase.
• Check that the radiator coolant level of protection is to at least -20°F (-29°C).
• Make sure that all tires are inflated to the optimum pressure.
• Wash and wax the vehicle to protect the finish.
• Store the vehicle in a dry, well-ventilated location.
• Move the wiper blades away from the windshield.
• Block the wheels. Do not apply the parking brake.
• Cut blocks of plywood about the same size of the tires. Cover each block with indoor/outdoor carpeting and place them between the tires and concrete. This will
prevent tire flat spotting.
• For long-term storage, remove the tires and put the vehicle up on blocks. Stack the tires on plywood and cover wit h a tarp to prevent flat spotting.
• If the vehicle will be subjected to freezin g temperatures, either remove the battery and
store it in a dry, well ventilated area or connect a trickle charger (1.5 Amp) with
automatic shutdown / overcharge protection to the battery. However, do not leave the
trickle charger hooked up to the battery without being plugged in to a 110 Volt AC
outlet, as this will result in further drain on the vehicle's battery. If the vehicle is not
going to be driven in the next three weeks, per form the battery recharge procedure in
the Service Manual. Then, either disconnect the b attery at the negative terminal or use
the “Battery Save Feature” to conserve battery power.
NOTE: Disconnecting the battery causes the en gine control system to lose memory of
some “learned” functions. After reconnecting the b attery, the engine may run rough until
the control module “relearns” these functions. Using the Battery Save Feature will
prevent the engine controller from loosing its memory.
CAUTION!
Use care when disconnecting the remote positive cable. It is connected to the battery
and can short out to any metal on the vehicle. Always tape or wrap the exposed cable
end to prevent electrical shorts.
• Check the battery every four to six weeks to ensure that the voltage is above 12.40 Volts. The voltage will drop more rapidly in hot temperatures. If battery voltage
drops below 12.40 Volts, follow the battery r echarge procedure in the Service Manual.
