the tire.
7. Remove the wheel nuts by turning
them counterclockwise; then remove
the wheel.Locking Lug Nuts — If Equipped
If your vehicle has optional antitheft
wheel lug nuts, one on each wheel will
lock the tires and you must use a
special key to unlock them. This key will
attach to the lug wrench.
Register them with the lock
manufacturer by filling out the card
provided in the glove compartment and
mailing it in the accompanying
envelope. If you lose this key, contact
an authorized dealer or use the lock
manufacturer's order form, which is
with the registration card.
Accessory wheel locks cannot be used
on steel wheels. This includes situations
when the spare tire is installed. If the
spare tire is installed, one of the original
lug nuts (which should still be in the
vehicle) must be installed in place of the
wheel lock.
To Remove An Antitheft Lug Nut
Proceed as follows:
1. Obtain the special key for the
antitheft lug nut.
2. Place the special key on top of the
antitheft lug nut, and be sure to hold
the key square to it. If you hold the key
at an angle, you may damage both key
and nut. Do not use a power impact
wrench.
3. Place the lug wrench on top of the
key and apply pressure. Turn the
wrench counterclockwise.

on a flat tire.
If the wheel has any damage.
If you are unsure of the condition of the
tire or the wheel.
Keep Tire Service Kit away from open
flames or heat source.
A loose Tire Service Kit thrown forward
in a collision or hard stop could endanger
the occupants of the vehicle. Always stow
the Tire Service 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
Tire Service Kit to come in contact with
hair, eyes, or clothing. Tire Service Kit
sealant 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.
Tire Service Kit Sealant solution contains
latex. In case of an allergic reaction or rash,
consult a physician immediately. Keep Tire
Service Kit 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.
U.S.A. And CANADA Markets:
Proceed as follows:
1. Pull over to a safe location and turn
on the vehicle’s hazard warning lights.
2. Verify that the valve stem (on the
wheel with the deflated tire) is in a
position that is near to the ground. This
will allow the Tire Service Kit hoses to
reach the valve stem and keep the Tire
Service Kit flat on the ground. This will
provide the best positioning of the kit
when injecting the sealant into the
deflated tire and running the air pump.
Move the vehicle as necessary to place
the valve stem in this position before
proceeding.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

Warning!
Never use the air compressor above
43.5 psi (3 Bar). Using the air compressor
at an inflation pressure above 3 Bar
(43.5 psi) continuously is dangerous. If the
air compressor overheats, hot air will be
exhausted and you could get burned.
Caution!
If the tire inflation pressure does not
increase, repair of the tire is not possible. If
the tire does not reach the specified tire
inflation pressure within 10 minutes, it may
have received extensive damage. In this
case, the repair using the tire service kit
was not successful.
Do not operate the air compressor for a
continuous 10 minutes or longer because
using it for long periods could cause a
malfunction.
13. Adhere the speed restriction sticker
to an area where it can be viewed easily
by the driver.
Warning!
Do not adhere the speed restriction sticker
to the padded area on the steering wheel.
Adhering the speed restriction sticker to
the padded area on the steering wheel is
dangerous because the air bag may not
operate (deploy) normally resulting in
serious injury. In addition, do not adhere
the sticker to areas where warning lights or
the speedometer cannot be viewed.
14. Adhere the repaired tire sticker to
the wheel of the flat tire.
15. When the tire inflates to the
specified tire inflation pressure, turn the
air compressor switch off, turn the
sleeve of the injection hose to the left,
and pull it out of the tire valve. 16. Remove the air compressor hose
from the injection valve of the bottle.
Then, install the injection hose to the
injection valve of the bottle to prevent
leakage of any remaining sealant.
Note:
The remaining sealant in the
hose may spray out when the hose is
removed. Remove the hose carefully
because you may not be able to
remove the sealant contacting clothing
or other objects.
17. Install the tire valve cap.
18. Place the Tire Service Kit back into
its storage location.
19. Start driving immediately to spread
the sealant in the tire.
Note: Carefully drive the vehicle at a
speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) or less. If

the vehicle is driven at a speed of
50 mph (80 km/h) or more, the vehicle
may vibrate.
Note:With TPMS system: if the tire is
not properly inflated, the
warning
light will illuminate.
After driving the vehicle for about
10 minutes or 3 miles (5 km), connect
the air compressor to the tire using
Step nine of the procedure, and check
the tire inflation pressure using the tire
pressure gauge on the air compressor.
If the tire inflation pressure is lower than
the specified tire inflation pressure, turn
the air compressor on and wait until it
reaches the specified tire inflation
pressure.
the Tire Service Kit is completed
successfully if the tire inflation pressure
does not decrease. Carefully drive the
vehicle to the nearest authorized dealer
immediately and have the flat tire
replaced. Replacement with a new tire
is recommended. If the tire is to be
repaired or reused, consult an
authorized dealer.
Note:
If an emergency flat tire repair has
been performed using the Tire Service
Kit, FCA recommends that the tire be
replaced with a new one as soon as
possible. If the tire is to be repaired or
reused, contact an authorized dealer.
The wheel can be reused if the
sealant adhering to it is removed.
However, replace the valve with a new
one.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

Mexico Market
Proceed as follows:
1. Pull over to a safe location and turn
on the vehicle’s hazard warning lights.
2. Verify that the valve stem (on the
wheel with the deflated tire) is in a
position that is near to the ground. This
will allow the Tire Service Kit hoses to
reach the valve stem and keep the Tire
Service Kit flat on the ground. This will
provide the best positioning of the kit
when injecting the sealant into the
deflated tire and running the air pump.
Move the vehicle as necessary to place
the valve stem in this position before
proceeding.
3. Shift the gear selector to Reverse (R)
for a manual transmission, and shift the
gear selector to Park (P) for an
automatic transmission.
4. Apply the parking brake with the
brake pedal depressed and turn off the
engine.
5. Unload passengers and cargo and
remove the Tire Service Kit.6. Shake the tire sealant well. If the
bottle is shaken after the injection hose
is screwed on, tire sealant could spray
out from the injection hose. Tire sealant
contacting clothing or other objects
may be impossible to remove. Shake
the bottle before screwing on the
injection hose.
Note:
Do not shake the bottle
excessively. Otherwise, the sealant
could spray out of the injection hose,
and if the sealant contacts clothing or
other objects, you may not be able to
remove it.
The sealant hardens easily and
injecting it will be difficult under cold
weather conditions (32 °F (0 °C) or
below). Warm the sealant inside the
vehicle to facilitate injection.
7. Remove the cap from the bottle.
Screw on the injection hose with the
bottle's inner cap left on to break the
