wheel CHRYSLER 300 2010 1.G Owner's Manual

• Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while tightening forincreased leverage. Alternate nuts until each one has been tightened twice. The
correct wheel nut tightness is 100 ft lbs (135 N•m). If in doubt about the correct
tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or at
a service station.
WARNING!
To assure that spare tires, flat or inflated, are securely stowed, spares must be
stowed with the valve stem facing the ground.
• Secure the tire, jack (base of jack faces rear of vehicle), and tools in their proper locations.
TIREFIT Instructions
TIREFIT will temporarily seal small punctures up to1⁄4in.(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 (88 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.
The TIREFIT kit is located in the trunk.
• 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 n0–10seconds through 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
.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
54

• Continue to operate the pump until sealant 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 Hose 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 sealan t contacting internal TIREFIT kit components
which may cause permanent damage to the kit.
• Immediately after injecting sealant and inflating 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 further. Call for assistance.
• 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.
55
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

• 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 anauthorized 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 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.
WARNING!
• Keep TIREFIT away from any open flames or heat sources.
• TIREFIT is not a permanent flat tire repair. Have the tire inspected and repaired or replaced after using TIREFIT. Do not exceed 55 mph (90 km/h) until having
the tire repaired or replaced.
• Take care not to allow the contents of TIREFIT to come in contact with hair, eyes, or clothing. TIREFIT 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.
• TIREFIT Sealant solution contains latex. In case of allergic reaction or rash, consult a physician immediately. Keep TIREFIT out of the 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.
• Use the gloves provided in the Accessory Storage Compartment when operating
the TIREFIT kit.

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, move the shift lever 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.
NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with Electronic Stability Program (ESP) or
Traction Control
, turn the system off before attempting to “rock” the vehicle.
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 spinning the wheels too fast may 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

OPENING THE HOOD
• Pull the hood release lever located below the steering wheel at the base of theinstrument panel.
• Reach into the opening beneath the center of the hood and move the safety latch lever while lifting the hood at the same time.
WARNING!
Be sure the hood is fully latched before driving your vehicle. If the hood is not fully
latched, it could open when the vehicle is in motion and block your vision. Failure
to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death.
