(10 meters) back and forth, to better distrib-
ute the sealant inside the tire.
Attach the clear flexible filling tube of the
compressor directly to the tire valve and re-
peat the inflation process.
When the correct pressure has been reached,
start driving the vehicle to uniformly distrib-
ute the sealant inside the tire. After 10 min-
utes, stop and check the tire pressure. If the
pressure is below 19 psi (1.3 bar), do not
drive the vehicle, as the tire is too damaged,
contact the nearest authorized dealer.

repair. Have the tire inspected and re-
paired or replaced after using Tire Service
Kit. Do not exceed 65 mph (110 km/h)
until the tire is repaired or replaced. Fail-
ure to follow this warning can result in
injuries that are serious or fatal to you,
your passengers, and others around you.
Have the tire checked as soon as possible
at an authorized dealer.
If the pressure is at 19 psi (1.3 bar) or above
repeat the inflation process to reach the cor-
rect tire pressure and continue driving.
Peel off the warning label from the bottle and
place it on the dashboard as a reminder to the
driver that a tire has been treated with Tire
Service Kit.
WARNING!
The metal end fitting from Power Plug may

101

NOTE:
Replace the sealant canister prior to the
expiration date at your authorized dealer.
WARNING!
Store the sealant canister in its special
compartment, away from sources of heat.
Failure to follow this WARNING may result
in sealant canister rupture and serious
injury or death.
JUMP STARTING
If your vehicle has a discharged battery, it can
be jump started using a set of jumper cables
and a battery in another vehicle or by using a
portable battery booster pack. Jump starting
can be dangerous if done improperly, so
please follow the procedures in this section
carefully.
NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster pack,
follow the manufacturer’s operating instruc-
tions and precautions.
WARNING!
Do not attempt jump starting if the battery
is frozen. It could rupture or explode and
cause personal injury.
CAUTION!
Do not use a portable battery booster pack
or any other booster source with a system
voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to
the battery, starter motor, alternator or
electrical system may occur.
Preparations For Jump Starting
The battery in your vehicle is located in the
front of the engine compartment, behind the
left headlight assembly.

6. The vehicle may then be started inNEUTRAL.
7. Reinstall the gear selector boot.
IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
In any of the following situations, you can
reduce the potential for overheating by taking
the appropriate action.
• On the highways — slow down.
• In city traffic — while stopped, place the transmission in NEUTRAL, but do not in-
crease the engine idle speed while prevent-
ing vehicle motion with the brakes.
NOTE:
There are steps that you can take to slow
down an impending overheat condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the engine
cooling system and turning the A/C off can
help remove this heat. • You can also turn the temperature control
to maximum heat, the mode control to floor
and the blower control to high. This allows
the heater core to act as a supplement to
the radiator and aids in removing heat from
the engine cooling system.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot
engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from
your radiator. If you see or hear steam
coming from under the hood, do not open
the hood until the radiator has had time to
cool. Never try to open a cooling system
pressure cap when the radiator or coolant
bottle is hot.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could
damage your vehicle. If the temperature
gauge reads HOT (H), pull over and stop
the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air
conditioner turned off until the pointer
drops back into the normal range. If the
pointer remains on HOT (H), and you hear
CAUTION!
continuous chimes, turn the engine off
immediately and call for service.
FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand,
or snow, it can often be moved using a rock-
ing motion. Turn the steering wheel right and
left to clear the area around the front wheels.
Push and hold the lock button on the gear
selector. Then shift back and forth between
DRIVE and REVERSE, while gently pressing
the accelerator. Use the least amount of ac-
celerator pedal pressure that will maintain
the rocking motion, without spinning the
wheels or racing the engine.
NOTE:
Shifts between DRIVE and REVERSE can
only be achieved at wheel speeds of 5 mph
(8 km/h) or less. Whenever the transmission
remains in NEUTRAL for more than two sec-
onds, you must press the brake pedal to
engage DRIVE or REVERSE.
