FIAT FREEMONT 2015 1.G Owners Manual

• When the Tire Service Kit sealant is in a liquid form,clean water, and a damp cloth will remove the mate-
rial from the vehicle or tire and wheel components.
Once the sealant dries, it can easily be peeled off and
properly discarded.
• For optimum performance, make sure the valve stem on the wheel is free of debris before connecting the
Tire Service Kit.
• You can use the Tire Service Kit air pump to inflate bicycle tires. The kit also comes with two needles,
located in the Accessory Storage Compartment (on
the bottom of the air pump) for inflating sport balls,
rafts, or similar inflatable items. However, use only
the Air Pump Hose (7) and make sure the Mode
Select Knob (5) is in the Air Mode when inflating
such items to avoid injecting sealant into them. The
Tire Service Kit Sealant is only intended to seal
punctures less than 6 mm diameter in the tread of
your vehicle.
• Do not lift or carry the Tire Service Kit by the hoses.WARNING!
• Do not attempt to seal a tire on the
si de

of the vehicle closest to traffic . Pull
far enough off the road to avoid the danger of
being hit when using the Tire Service Kit .
• Do not use Tire Service Kit or drive the vehicle
under the following circumstances:
– If the puncture in the tire tread is approxi-
mately 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.
• KeepTire 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 occu-
pants 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.

WARNING! (Continued)
• Take care not to allow the contents of Tire
Service Kit to come in contact with hair, eyes, or
clothing. Tire Service Kit 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.
SEALING A TIRE WITH TIRE SERVICE KIT
(A) Whenever You Stop To Use Tire Service
Kit:
1. Pull over to a safe location and turn on the vehicle’s Hazard Warning flashers.
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 (6) and (7) 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. Place the transmission in PARK (auto transmission) or in Gear (manual transmission) and turn Off the
ignition.
4. Set the parking brake.
(B) Setting Up To Use Tire Service Kit:
1. Push in the Mode Select Knob (5) and turn to the Sealant Mode position.
2. Uncoil the Sealant Hose (6) and then remove the cap from the fitting at the end of the hose.
3. Place the Tire Service Kit flat on the ground next to the deflated tire.
4. Remove the cap from the valve stem and then screw the fitting at the end of the Sealant Hose (6) onto
the valve stem.
5. Uncoil the Power Plug (8) and insert the plug into the vehicle’s 12 Volt power outlet.

NOTE:Do not remove foreign objects (e.g., screws or
nails) from the tire.
(C) Injecting Tire Service Kit Sealant Into The
Deflated Tire:
• Always start the engine before turning ON the Tire Service Kit.
NOTE: Manual transmission vehicles must have the
parking brake engaged and the shift lever in NEUTRAL.
• After pressing the Power Button (4), the sealant (white fluid) will flow from the Sealant Bottle (1)
through the Sealant Hose (6) and into the tire.
NOTE: Sealant may leak out through the puncture in
the tire.
If the sealant (white fluid) does not flow within 0
– 10 seconds through the Sealant Hose (6):
1. Press the Power Button (4) to turn Off the Tire Service Kit. Disconnect the Sealant Hose (6) from
the valve stem. Make sure the valve stem is free of
debris. Reconnect the Sealant Hose (6) to the valve
stem. Check that the Mode Select Knob (5) is in the
Sealant Mode position and not Air Mode. Press the
Power Button (4) to turn On the Tire Service Kit. 2. Connect the Power Plug (8) to a different 12 Volt
power outlet in your vehicle or another vehicle, if
available. Make sure the engine is running before
turning ON the Tire Service Kit.
3. The Sealant Bottle (1) may be empty due to previ- ous use. Call for assistance.
NOTE: If the Mode Select Knob (5) is on Air Mode
and the pump is operating, air will dispense from the
Air Pump Hose (7) only, not the Sealant Hose (6).
If the sealant (white fluid) does flow through the
Sealant Hose (6):
1. Continue to operate the pump until sealant is no longer flowing through hose (typically takes 30 - 70
seconds). As the sealant flows through the Sealant
Hose (6), the Pressure Gauge (3) can read as high as
4.8 Bar. The Pressure Gauge (3) will decrease
quickly from approximately 4.8 Bar to the actual tire
pressure when the Sealant Bottle (1) is empty.
2. The pump will start to inject air into the tire immediately after the Sealant Bottle (1) is empty.
Continue to operate the pump and inflate the tire
to the pressure indicated on the tire pressure label
on the driver-side latch pillar (recommended pres-
sure). Check the tire pressure by looking at the
Pressure Gauge (3).

If the tire does not inflate to at least 1.8 Bar
pressure within 15 minutes:
• The tire is too badly damaged. Do not attempt todrive the vehicle further. Call for assistance.
NOTE: If the tire becomes over-inflated, press the
Deflation Button to reduce the tire pressure to the
recommended inflation pressure before continuing.
If the tire inflates to the recommended pres-
sure or is at least 1.8 Bar pressure within 15
minutes:
1. Press the Power Button (4) to turn off the Tire Service Kit.
2. Remove the Speed Limit sticker from the top of the Sealant Bottle (1) and place the sticker on the
instrument panel.
3. Immediately disconnect the Sealant Hose (6) from the valve stem, reinstall the cap on the fitting at the
end of the hose, and place the Tire Service Kit in the
vehicle storage location. Quickly proceed to (D)
“Drive Vehicle”.•The metal end fitting from Power Plug
(8) may get hot after use, so it should be
handled carefully.
• Failure to reinstall the cap on the fitting at the
end of the Sealant Hose (6) can result in sealant
contacting your skin, clothing, and the vehicle’s
interior. It can also result in sealant contacting
internal Tire Service Kit components which may
cause permanent damage to the kit .
(D) Drive Vehicle:
Immediately after injecting sealant and inflating the tire,
drive the vehicle 8 km or 10 minutes to ensure distri-
bution of the Tire Service Kit Sealant within the tire.
Do not exceed 88 km/h.
WARNING!
Tire Service Kit is not a permanent flat
tire re

pair. Have the tire inspected and
repaired or replaced after using Tire Service Kit .
Do not exceed 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.

BULB REPLACEMENT
NOTE:Lens fogging can occur under certain atmo-
spheric conditions. This will usually clear as atmo-
spheric conditions change to allow the condensation to
change back into a vapor. Turning the lamps on will
usually accelerate the clearing process.
Where possible, it is advisable to have
bulbs changed at a FIAT Dealership.
Proper operation and orientation of the
external lights are essential for driving safety and
complying with the law.
