WARNING!
• Do not attempt to seal a tire on the side of the vehicle closest to traffic. Pull far enough offthe road to avoid the danger of being hit when using the TIREFIT kit.
• Do not use TIREFIT or drive the vehicle under the following circumstances:
• If the puncture in the tire tread is approximately 1/4 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.
• Keep TIREFIT away from open flames or heat source.
• A loose TIREFIT kit thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could endanger the
occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the TIREFIT 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 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 an allergic reaction or rash, consult a
physician immediately. Keep TIREFIT 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.
• TIREFIT is not a permanent flat tire repair. Have the tire inspected and repaired or
replaced after using TIREFIT. Do not exceed 55 mph (88 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.

TIRE PRESSURES
• Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire, at least monthly and inflateto the recommended pressure for your vehicle.
• The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and Loading Information” label located on the driver’s side door opening.
NOTE:
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for
more information regarding tire warnings and
instructions.
WARNING!
• Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load
capacity for your vehicle . Never overload them.
• Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions. Under-inflation is the
leading cause of tire failure and may result in severe cracking, component separation, or
“blow out”. Over-inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road
and chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure. Unequal tire pressures can
cause steering problems. You could lose control of your vehicle. Over-inflated or under-
inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle
control.
WHEEL AND WHEEL TRIM CARE
• All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated wheels, should be cleaned
regularly with a mild soap and water to prevent corrosion.
• To remove heavy soil and/or excessive brake dust the following MOPAR® wheel cleaners are recommended or select a non-abrasive, non-acidic cleaner.
• For chrome wheels, use MOPAR® Chrome Cleaner or equivalent.
• For aluminum wheels, use MOPAR® Wheel Cleaner or equivalent.
Dark Vapor Chrome Wheels- If Equipped
• If your vehicle is equipped with Dark Vapor Chrome wheels USE ONLY MILD SOAP AND
WATER WITH A SOFT CLOTH.
• Used on a regular basis this is all that is required to maintain this finish.
