{CAUTION:
You can be burned if you spill coolant on hot
engine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol
and it will burn if the engine parts are hot enough.
Do not spill coolant on a hot engine.
If the DMCM coolant is empty, your vehicle must be
serviced by your dealer and a special fill procedure
must be followed.
Notice:Attempting to ll the DMCM cooling surge
tank yourself when the uid level is empty can
damage your vehicle. Your vehicle must be serviced.1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and turn the
vehicle off. Remove the DMCM coolant surge
tank pressure cap when the DMCM cooling system,
including the DMCM coolant surge tank pressure
cap and DMCM cooling hoses, are no longer hot.
Turn the DMCM coolant surge tank pressure cap
slowly counterclockwise (left) about one full turn.
Wait 30 seconds.

Using the Tire Sealant and Compressor
Kit to Temporarily Seal and Inate a
Punctured Tire
Follow the directions closely for correct sealant usage.
When using the tire sealant and compressor kit during
cold temperatures, warm the kit in a heated environment
for 5 minutes. This will help to inflate the tire faster.Always do a safety check first. SeeIf a Tire Goes Flat
on page 5-30
1. Remove the tire sealant and compressor kit from its
storage location. SeeTire Sealant and Compressor
Kit Storage on page 5-50
Make sure the on/off button (D) is in the off (O)
position.
2. Unwrap the sealant/air hose (F) and the power
plug (C).
3. Place the kit on the ground.
Make sure the tire valve stem is positioned close to
the ground so the hose will reach it.
4. Remove the valve stem cap from the flat tire by
turning it counterclockwise.
5. Attach the sealant/air hose (F) onto the tire valve
stem. Turn it clockwise until it is tight.

11. Unplug the power plug (C) from the accessory
power outlet in the vehicle.
12. Turn the sealant/air hose (F) counterclockwise to
remove it from the tire valve stem.
13. Replace the tire valve stem cap.
14. Replace the sealant/air hose (F), and the power
plug (C) back in their original location.
15. If the flat tire was able
to inflate to the
recommended inflation
pressure, remove
the maximum speed
label from the sealant
canister (B) and
place it in a highly
visible location.
The label is a reminder not to exceed 55 mph
(90 km/h) until the damaged tire is repaired
or replaced.16. Return the equipment to its original storage location
in the vehicle.
17. Immediately drive the vehicle 5 miles (8 km) to
distribute the sealant in the tire.
18. Stop at a safe location and check the tire pressure.
Refer to Steps 1 through 11 under “Using the Tire
Sealant and Compressor Kit without Sealant to
Inflate a Tire (Not Punctured).”
If the tire pressure has fallen more than 10 psi
(68 kPa) below the recommended inflation pressure,
stop driving the vehicle. The tire is too severely
damaged and the tire sealant cannot seal the tire.
See “Roadside Assistance Program” in the
owner manual.
If the tire pressure has not dropped more than
10 psi (68 kPa) from the recommended inflation
pressure, inflate the tire to the recommended
inflation pressure.

window.
9. Start the vehicle. The vehicle must be running
while using the air compressor.
10. Press the on/off (D) button to turn the
compressor on.
The compressor will inflate the tire with air only.
11. Inflate the tire to the recommended inflation pressure
using the pressure gage (E). The recommended
inflation pressure can be found on the Tire and
Loading Information label. SeeInflation - Tire
Pressure on page 5-24.
The pressure gage (E) may read higher than the
actual tire pressure while the compressor is on.
Turn the compressor off to get an accurate reading.
The compressor may be turned on/off until the
correct pressure is reached.

4. Turn the sealant canister (B) so the inflator filling
hose is aligned with the slot in the compressor.
5. Lift the sealant canister (B) from the compressor
and replace with a new sealant canister. See your
dealer/retailer for more information.To install a new sealant canister:
1. Align the sealant/air hose (F) with the slot in the air
compressor.

Using the Tire Sealant and Compressor
Kit to Temporarily Seal and Inate a
Punctured Tire
Follow the directions closely for correct sealant usage.
When using the tire sealant and compressor kit during
cold temperatures, warm the kit in a heated environment
for 5 minutes. This will help to inflate the tire faster.Always do a safety check first. SeeIf a Tire Goes Flat
on page 5-30. Do not remove any objects that have
penetrated the tire.
1. Remove the tire sealant and compressor kit from its
storage location. SeeTire Sealant and Compressor
Kit Storage on page 5-50.
2. Unwrap the sealant/air hose (F) and the power
plug (H).
3. Place the kit on the ground.
4. Remove the valve stem cap from the flat tire by
turning it counterclockwise.
5. Attach the sealant/air hose (F) onto the tire valve
stem. Turn it clockwise until it is tight.
6. Plug the power plug (H) into the accessory power
outlet in the vehicle. Unplug all items from other
accessory power outlets. See “Accessory Power
Outlet(s) in the owner manual.”
If the vehicle has an accessory power outlet, do not
use the cigarette lighter.
If the vehicle only has a cigarette lighter, use the
cigarette lighter.
Do not pinch the power plug cord in the door or
window.

7. Start the vehicle. The vehicle must be running while
using the air compressor.
8. Turn the selector switch (A) counterclockwise to the
Sealant + Air position.
9. Press the on/off (B) button to turn the tire sealant
and compressor kit on.
The compressor will inject sealant and air into
the tire.
The pressure gage (C) will initially show a high
pressure while the compressor pushes the sealant
into the tire. Once the sealant is completely
dispersed into the tire, the pressure will quickly drop
and start to rise again as the tire inflates with air only.
10. Inflate the tire to the recommended inflation pressure
using the pressure gage (C). The recommended
inflation pressure can be found on the Tire and
Loading Information label. SeeInflation - Tire
Pressure on page 5-24.
The pressure gage (C) may read higher than the
actual tire pressure while the compressor is on.
Turn the compressor off to get an accurate pressure
reading. The compressor may be turned on/off
until the correct pressure is reached.Notice:If the recommended pressure cannot be
reached after approximately 25 minutes, the vehicle
should not be driven farther. The tire is too severely
damaged and the tire sealant and compressor kit
cannot inate the tire. Remove the power plug from
the accessory power outlet and unscrew the inating
hose from the tire valve. See “Roadside Assistance
Program” in the owner manual.
11. Press the on/off button (B) to turn the tire sealant
and compressor kit off.
The tire is not sealed and will continue to leak air until
the vehicle is driven and the sealant is distributed in
the tire, therefore, Steps 12 through 18 must be done
immediately after Step 11.
Be careful while handling the tire sealant and
compressor kit as it could be warm after usage.
12. Unplug the power plug (H) from the accessory
power outlet in the vehicle.
13. Turn the sealant/air hose (F) counterclockwise to
remove it from the tire valve stem.
14. Replace the tire valve stem cap.
15. Replace the sealant/air hose (F), and the power
plug (H) back in their original location.
