3. Place the kit on the ground.
Make sure the tire valve stem is positioned close to
the ground so the hose will reach it.
4. Remove the valve stem cap from the at tire by
turning it counterclockwise.
5. Attach the sealant/air hose (F) onto the tire valve
stem. Turn it clockwise until it is tight.
6. Plug the power plug (H) into the accessory power
outlet in the vehicle. Unplug all items from other
accessory power outlets. SeeAccessory Power
Outlet(s) on page 3-18.
If the vehicle has an accessory power outlet, do not
use the cigarette lighter.
If the vehicle only has a cigarette lighter, use the
cigarette lighter.
Do not pinch the power plug cord in the door or
window.7. Start the vehicle. The vehicle must be running while
using the air compressor.
8. Turn the selector switch (A) counterclockwise to the
Sealant + Air position.
9. Press the on/off (B) button to turn the tire sealant
and compressor kit on.
The compressor will inject sealant and air into
the tire.
The pressure gage (C) will initially show a high
pressure while the compressor pushes the sealant
into the tire. Once the sealant is completely
dispersed into the tire, the pressure will quickly drop
and start to rise again as the tire inates with air only.
5-81

10. Inate the tire to the recommended ination pressure
using the pressure gage (C). The recommended
ination pressure can be found on the Tire and
Loading Information label. SeeInflation - Tire
Pressure on page 5-60.
The pressure gage (C) may read higher than the
actual tire pressure while the compressor is on.
Turn the compressor off to get an accurate pressure
reading. The compressor may be turned on/off
until the correct pressure is reached.
Notice:If the recommended pressure cannot be
reached after approximately 25 minutes, the vehicle
should not be driven farther. The tire is too severely
damaged and the tire sealant and compressor kit
cannot inate the tire. Remove the power plug from
the accessory power outlet and unscrew the inating
hose from the tire valve. SeeRoadside Assistance
Program on page 7-7.
11. Press the on/off button (B) to turn the tire sealant
and compressor kit off.
The tire is not sealed and will continue to leak air
until the vehicle is driven and the sealant is
distributed in the tire, therefore, Steps 12 through
18 must be done immediately after Step 11.
Be careful while handling the tire sealant and
compressor kit as it could be warm after usage.12. Unplug the power plug (H) from the accessory
power outlet in the vehicle.
13. Turn the sealant/air hose (F) counterclockwise to
remove it from the tire valve stem.
14. Replace the tire valve stem cap.
15. Replace the sealant/air hose (F), and the power
plug (H) back in their original location.
16. If the at tire was
able to inate to the
recommended ination
pressure, remove the
maximum speed label
from the sealant
canister (E) and place
it in a highly visible
location.
The label is a reminder not to exceed 55 mph
(90 km/h) until the damaged tire is repaired
or replaced.
17. Return the equipment to its original storage location
in the vehicle.
18. Immediately drive the vehicle 5 miles (8 km) to
distribute the sealant in the tire.
5-82

Always do a safety check rst. SeeIf a Tire Goes Flat
on page 5-76.
1. Remove the tire sealant and compressor kit from its
storage location. SeeTire Sealant and Compressor
Kit Storage on page 5-87.
2. Unwrap the air only hose (G) and the power
plug (H).3. Place the kit on the ground.
Make sure the tire valve stem is positioned close to
the ground so the hose will reach it.
4. Remove the tire valve stem cap from the at tire by
turning it counterclockwise.
5. Attach the air only hose (G) onto the tire valve stem
by turning it clockwise until it is tight.
6. Plug the power plug (H) into the accessory power
outlet in the vehicle. Unplug all items from other
accessory power outlets. SeeAccessory Power

use the cigarette lighter.
If the vehicle only has a cigarette lighter, use the
cigarette lighter.
Do not pinch the power plug cord in the door or
window.

7. Start the vehicle. The vehicle must be running while
using the air compressor.
8. Turn the selector switch (A) clockwise to the Air
Only position.
9. Press the on/off (B) button to turn the compressor on.
The compressor will inate the tire with air only.
10. Inate the tire to the recommended ination pressure
using the pressure gage (C). The recommended
ination pressure can be found on the Tire and
Loading Information label. SeeInflation - Tire
Pressure on page 5-60.
The pressure gage (C) may read higher than the
actual tire pressure while the compressor is on.
Turn the compressor off to get an accurate reading.
The compressor may be turned on/off until the
correct pressure is reached.If you inate the tire higher than the recommended
pressure you can adjust the excess pressure by
pressing the pressure deation button (D), if
equipped, until the proper pressure reading is
reached. This option is only functional when using
the air only hose (G).
11. Press the on/off button (B) to turn the tire sealant
and compressor kit off.
Be careful while handling the tire sealant and
compressor kit as it could be warm after usage.
12. Unplug the power plug (H) from the accessory
power outlet in the vehicle.
13. Disconnect the air only hose (G) from the tire valve
stem, by turning it counterclockwise, and replace

Changing a Flat Tire
If a tire goes at, avoid further tire and wheel damage
by driving slowly to a level place. Turn on the hazard
warning ashers. SeeHazard Warning Flashers
on page 3-6.
{CAUTION:
Changing a tire can be dangerous. The vehicle
can slip off the jack and roll over or fall on you or
other people. You and they could be badly injured
or even killed. Find a level place to change your
tire. To help prevent the vehicle from moving:
1. Set the parking brake rmly.
2. Put the shift lever in P (Park).
3. If you have a four-wheel-drive vehicle, be
sure the transfer case is in a drive gear — not
in Neutral.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
4. Turn off the engine and do not restart while
the vehicle is raised.
5. Do not allow passengers to remain in the
vehicle.
6. Put the wheel blocks at the front and rear of
the tire farthest away from the one being
changed. That would be the tire on the other
side, at the opposite end of the vehicle.
When the vehicle has a at tire (B), use the following
example as a guide to assist you in the placement
of wheel blocks (A).

The following information explains how to use the jack
and change a tire.
Removing the Spare Tire and Tools
The jacking equipment needed to remove the spare tire is
stored under the rear seat. To release the jack from its
holder, turn the knob on the jack counterclockwise to
lower the jack head. SeeRear Seat Operation on
page 1-11for more information.

The tools you will be using include:
A. Wheel Wrench
B. Wheel Blocks
C. Extension(s)
(Socket End)D. Handle (Jack End)
E. JackTo remove the underbody-mounted spare from your
vehicle:
Notice:If you remove or restow a tire from/to
the storage position under the vehicle while it is
supported by a jack, you could damage the tire
and/or your vehicle. Always remove or restow a tire
when the vehicle is on the ground.
A. Wheel Wrench
B. Hoist Shaft
C. Extension
D. Retainer
E. Spare or Flat Tire
(Valve Stem
Pointed Up)
1. Open the liftgate. SeeLiftgate/Liftglass on
page 2-12for more information.
2. Attach the wheel wrench (A) to the extension (C).
5-90

3. Insert the socket end
of the extension (C) on
a 45 degree angle
downward into the hoist
drive shaft hole.
It is exposed when the rear gate is open and is just
above the rear bumper. Be sure the socket end
of the extension (C) connects to the hoist shaft.
4. Turn the wheel wrench counterclockwise to lower the
spare tire. Keep turning the wheel wrench until the
spare tire can be pulled out from under the vehicle.
If the spare tire does not lower to the ground, the
secondary latch is engaged causing the tire
not to lower. SeeSecondary Latch System on
page 5-97for more information.

3. Using the wheel
wrench, loosen all the
wheel nuts by
turning the nuts one
turn counterclockwise.
Do not remove
them yet.
4. Turn the jack adjusting knob clockwise by hand to
raise the jack lift head.

{CAUTION:
Getting under a vehicle when it is jacked up is
dangerous. If the vehicle slips off the jack, you
could be badly injured or killed. Never get under a
vehicle when it is supported only by a jack.
{CAUTION:
Raising your vehicle with the jack improperly
positioned can damage the vehicle and even make
the vehicle fall. To help avoid personal injury and
vehicle damage, be sure to t the jack lift head into
the proper location before raising the vehicle.7. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack handle
clockwise. Raise the vehicle far enough off the
ground so there is enough room for the spare
tire to t.
