Jack Usage Precautions
To complete the Use and Maintenance
Handbook to which this supplement is
attached, given below are some instructions
on the proper use of the jack.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.
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
injuries: 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
prohibited. Never use it to carry out
maintenance or repairs under the vehicle
or to 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 necessary for the
wheel/spare.

label) to assure optimum operation of the
system. Refer to “Sealant Bottle Replace-
ment” in this section.
The Sealant Bottle is a one tire application
use and needs to be replaced after each
use. Always replace these components
immediately from an authorized 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
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 and make sure the
Mode Select Knob 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.
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) orlarger.
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.

Sealing A Tire With Tire Service Kit
Whenever You Stop To Use Tire Service Kit:
1. Pull over to a safe location and turn onthe 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 Hose 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 neces -
sary to place the valve stem in this posi -
tion before proceeding. 3. Place the transmission in PARK and
cycle the ignition in the OFF position.
4. Apply the parking brake.
Setting Up To Use Tire Service Kit:
1. Uncoil the Sealant Hose and then remove the cap from the fitting at the end of the
hose.
2. Place the Tire Service Kit flat on the ground next to the deflated tire.
3. Remove the cap from the valve stem and then screw the fitting at the end of the
Sealant Hose onto the valve stem.
4. Uncoil the Power Plug 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.
Injecting Tire Service Kit Sealant Into The
Deflated Tire:
1. Always start the vehicle before turning the Tire Service Kit on.
2. Ensure the Mode Select Knob is to the Sealant Mode position.
If the wheel has any damage.
If you are unsure of the condition ofthe 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 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.
WARNING! (Continued)
Tire Service Kit Sealant solution
