Jack Usage Precautions
To complete the Use and Maintenance Hand-
book to which this supplement is attached,
given below are some instructions on the
proper use of the jack.
WARNING!
When using the crank, make sure it turns
freely without the risk of scraping hands
against the ground.
Even the moving parts of the jack, the
“worm screw” and joints can cause inju-
ries: avoid contact with them. Clean it
thoroughly if dirtied with grease.
CAUTION!
The jack is a tool designed exclusively for
changing a wheel, in case of a puncture or
damage to a tire of the vehicle on which it
is fitted or on vehicles of the same model.
Any other use, e.g. to jack up other vehicle
models or different things, is strictly pro-
hibited. Never use it to carry out mainte-
nance or repairs under the vehicle or to
CAUTION!
change summer/winter wheels and vice
versa. Never go under the raised vehicle. If
any work under the vehicle is necessary,
contact an authorized dealer. Incorrect
placing of the jack can cause the vehicle to
drop: use it only in the positions indicated.
Do not use the jack for loads higher than
that specified on the label. Never start the
engine with vehicle raised. If the vehicle is
raised more than necessary, everything
can become more unstable, with the risk of
the vehicle dropping violently. Therefore
raise the vehicle only as much as neces-
sary for the wheel/spare.
Maintenance
• Make sure grime does not build up on the
“worm screw.”
• Keep the “worm screw” lubricated.
• Never modify the jack.Conditions Of Non-Use:
• Temperatures below −40°C.
• On sandy or muddy ground.
• On uneven ground.
• On steep roads.
• In extreme weather conditions: thunder-
storms, typhoons, hurricanes, blizzards,
storms, etc.
NOTE:
• The jack requires no adjustment.
• The jack cannot be repaired, and in the
event of a fault, it must be replaced by
another genuine one.
• No tool other than its cranking device may
be fitted on the jack.

Tire Service Kit Usage Precautions
• Replace the Tire Service Kit Sealant Bottle
(1) and Sealant Hose (6) prior to the expi-
ration date (printed at the lower right hand
corner on the bottle label) to assure opti-
mum operation of the system.
NOTE:
Refer to section “(F) Sealant Bottle And Hose
Replacement” in “Sealing A Tire With Tire
Service Kit” in this section.
• The Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant Hose (6)
are a one tire application use and need to
be replaced after each use. Always replace
these components immediately at your
original equipment vehicle dealer.
• When the Tire Service Kit sealant is in a
liquid form, clean water and a damp cloth
will remove the material from the vehicle or
tire and wheel components. Once the seal-
ant 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 Stor-
age 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 1/4 inch (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 side
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.
WARNING!
• Do not use Tire Service Kit or drive the
vehicle under the following circum-
stances:
– If the puncture in the tire tread is
approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) or
larger.
– If the tire has any sidewall damage.
– If the tire has any damage from
driving with extremely low tire pres-
sure.
– 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 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 warn-
ings can result in injuries that are seri-
ous or fatal to you, your passengers, and
others around you.

ately.
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 inject-
ing 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 trans-
mission) and place the ignition in the OFF
position.
4. Apply 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 gear se-
lector in NEUTRAL.
• After pushing the Power Button (4), the
sealant (white fluid) will flow from the Seal-
ant Bottle (1) through the Sealant Hose (6)
and into the tire.
NOTE:
Sealant may leak out through the puncture in
the tire.IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
206

If the sealant (white fluid) does not flow within 0
– 10 seconds through the Sealant Hose (6):
1. Push 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. Push 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

3. The Sealant Bottle (1) may be empty due
to previous 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 seal-
ant is no longer flowing through the hose
(typically takes 30 - 70 seconds). As the
sealant flows through the Sealant Hose
(6), the Pressure Gauge (3) can read as
high as 70 psi (4.8 Bar). The Pressure
Gauge (3) will decrease quickly from ap-
proximately 70 psi (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
pressure). Check the tire pressure by look-
ing at the Pressure Gauge (3).
If the tire does not inflate to at least 26 psi
(1.8 Bar) pressure within 15 minutes:
• The tire is too badly damaged. Do not at-
tempt to drive the vehicle further. Call for
assistance.NOTE:
If the tire becomes overinflated, push the
Deflation Button to reduce the tire pressure
to the recommended inflation pressure be-
fore continuing.

• 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 in-
ternal Tire Service Kit components
which may cause permanent damage to
the kit.
(D) Drive Vehicle:
Immediately after injecting sealant and in-
flating the tire, drive the vehicle 5 miles
(8 km) or ten minutes to ensure distribution
of the Tire Service Kit Sealant within the tire.
Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
