ELECTRONICS

• Remove the Speed Limit sticker from the top of the Sealant Bottle and place thesticker 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 and should 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 L oading 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.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
48

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 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).
EVENT DATA RECORDER (EDR)
• In the event of an accident, your vehicle is designed to record up to five seconds of
specific vehicle data parameters (see list below) in an event data recorder prior to the
moment of airbag deployment, or ne ar deployment (if applicable), and up to a quarter
second of either high-speed deceleration data or change in velocity during and/or
after airbag deployment or ne ar-deployment. EDR data is ONLY recorded if an airbag
deploys, or nearly deploys, and is otherwise unavailable.
NOTE:
• A near-deployment event occurs when the airbag sensor detects severe vehicle
deceleration usually indicative of a crash, but not severe enough to warrant airbag
deployment.
• Under certain circumstances, EDR data ma y not be recorded (e.g., loss of battery
power).

OPENING THE HOOD
• Pull the hood release lever locatedon the instrument panel, below the steering
column.
• Raise the hood and locate the safety catc h lever, in the middle of the hood opening.
• Move the safety latch while lifting the hood at the same time.
• Insert the support rod into the slot on the hood.
• To close the hood, remove the support rod and place it in the retaining clip, then lower the hood slowly.
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

TIRE PRESSURES
• Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire, at least monthly and
inflate to 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 on the life of tires.
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.
WARNING!
Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause accidents. Under-inflation is
the leading cause of tire failure and may result in severe cracking, component
separation, or “blow out”. Over-inflation r educes 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 ti res can affect vehicle handling and can fail
suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.
