{CAUTION:
You can be burned if you spill coolant on hot
engine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol
and it will burn if the engine parts are hot
enough. Do not spill coolant on a hot engine.
1. Remove the coolant
surge tank pressure
cap when the cooling
system, including
the coolant surge tank
pressure cap and
upper radiator hose,
is no longer hot.
Turn the pressure cap slowly counterclockwise
about two or two and one-half turns. If you hear a
hiss, wait for that to stop. This allows any pressure
still left to be vented out the discharge hose.2. Then keep turning the pressure cap slowly,
and remove it.

Accessing the Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit
To access the tire sealant and compressor kit:
1. Open the trunk. SeeTrunk on page 2-10for
more information.
2. Remove the tire sealant and compressor kit by
turning the wing nut counterclockwise.
3. Remove the sealant and compressor kit from
its foam container.
Tire Sealant
Read and follow the safe handling instructions on the
sealant canister.
The sealant can temporarily seal a small puncture up
to
1 4inch (6 mm) in the tread area of the tire. The
sealant cannot seal sidewall damage, large punctures,
or a wheel that has unseated from the wheel. See
Roadside Assistance Program on page 7-7if you
need assistance.
The sealant can only be used to seal one tire. After
usage, the sealant canister and sealant lling hose
assembly must be replaced at a dealer/retailer.
See Removal and Installation of Sealant Canister
later in this section.
Check the tire sealant expiration date on the sealant
canister, if it has expired, see your dealer/retailer
for a replacement.

Using the Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit to Temporarily
Seal a Punctured Tire
Follow these directions closely for correct sealant usage.
1. Place the sealant and compressor kit on the ground
and unwrap the sealant lling hose from the
compressor.
2. Remove the air compressor accessory plug from
the unit. To do this, pull the top portion of the
wrapped cord out rst, then the bottom, and then
unsnap the plug. Do not insert the plug into an
accessory outlet yet.
3. Remove the valve stem or tire pressure monitoring
sensor cap from the at tire by turning it
counterclockwise.
If an object, such as a nail, has penetrated the tire,
do not remove it.4. Attach the sealant lling hose (A) onto the tire valve
stem. Turn it clockwise until it is tight.
Make sure the sealant and compressor kit on/off
switch (B) is in the O (off) position.

8. In ate the tire to the recommended in ation
pressure, found on the Tire and Loading Information
label located on the vehicle’s center pillar (B-pillar)
below the vehicle’s door latch, using the air
pressure gage on the top of the unit.
The pressure gage reads high while the compressor
is running. Turn the compressor off to get an
accurate pressure reading.
Notice:If the recommended pressure cannot be
reached after 15 minutes, the vehicle should not
be driven. The tire is too severely damaged
and cannot be in ated or sealed with the tire sealant
and compressor kit. Remove the air compressor
accessory plug from the accessory power outlet
and unscrew the sealant lling hose from the
tire valve or tire pressure monitoring sensor valve.
SeeRoadside Assistance Program on page 7-7.
9. Push the On/Off switch to the O (off) position
once the correct tire pressure is obtained.
10. The tire is not sealed and will continue to leak
air until the vehicle is driven and the sealant is
distributed in the tire.
Steps 11 through 17 must be done right after
Step 10.
11. Unplug the air compressor accessory plug from
the accessory power outlet in the vehicle.12. Disconnect the sealant lling hose from the tire
valve stem, by turning it counterclockwise, and
replace the tire valve stem cap.
Be careful when handling the tire in ator
components as they could be hot after usage.
13. Wrap the sealant lling hose around the air
compressor channel to stow it in its original location.
14. Stow the air compressor accessory plug back in the
air compressor. To do this, wrap the air compressor
accessory plug, snap in the plug, and then push
in the bottom and then the top of the wrapped
air compressor accessory plug.
15. If the at tire was
able to in ate to the
recommended in ation
pressure, remove
the maximum speed
label from the sealant
canister.
Place it in a highly visible location such as the
inside of the upper left corner of the windshield
or to the face of the radio/clock.

The maximum speed label reminds you to drive
cautiously and not to exceed 55 mph (90 km/h) until
you have the damaged tire inspected and repaired.
16. Return the equipment to the proper storage
location in the trunk of your vehicle. Turn the
wing nut clockwise to secure the tire sealant
and compressor kit.
{CAUTION:
Storing the tire sealant and compressor kit or
other equipment in the passenger compartment
of the vehicle could cause injury. In a sudden
stop or collision, loose equipment could strike
someone. Store the tire sealant and compressor
kit in the proper place.
17. Immediately drive the vehicle 5 miles (8 km) to
distribute the sealant evenly in the tire. Stop at a safe
location and check the tire pressure, refer to Steps 1
through 8 under “Using the Air Compressor without
Sealant” next in this section.
18. If the tire pressure has fallen more then
10 psi (68 kPa), below the recommended in ation
pressure, stop driving the vehicle. The tire is
too severely damaged and the tire sealant and
compressor cannot seal the tire. SeeRoadside
Assistance Program on page 7-7.
If the tire pressure has not dropped more than
10 psi (68 kPa) from the recommended in ation
pressure, in ate the tire back up to the
recommended in ation pressure.

To install a new sealant canister:
1. Align the sealant lling hose with the slot in the
air compressor.
2. Push the sealant canister down and turn it
clockwise.
3. Wrap the sealant lling hose around the air
compressor channel to stow it in its original location.
4. Push the air compressor in ator hose onto the
sealant canister inlet and push the lever down.
Appearance Care
Interior Cleaning
Your vehicle’s interior will continue to look its best if it
is cleaned often. Although not always visible, dust
and dirt can accumulate on your upholstery. Dirt can
damage carpet, fabric, leather, and plastic surfaces.
Regular vacuuming is recommended to remove particles
from your upholstery. It is important to keep your
upholstery from becoming and remaining heavily soiled.
Soils should be removed as quickly as possible. Your
vehicle’s interior may experience extremes of heat
that could cause stains to set rapidly.Lighter colored interiors may require more frequent
cleaning. Use care because newspapers and garments
that transfer color to your home furnishings may also
transfer color to your vehicle’s interior.
When cleaning your vehicle’s interior, only use cleaners
speci cally designed for the surfaces being cleaned.
Permanent damage may result from using cleaners on
surfaces for which they were not intended. Use glass
cleaner only on glass. Remove any accidental over-spray
from other surfaces immediately. To prevent over-spray,
apply cleaner directly to the cleaning cloth.
Notice:If you use abrasive cleaners when cleaning
glass surfaces on your vehicle, you could scratch
the glass and/or cause damage to the rear window
defogger. When cleaning the glass on your
vehicle, use only a soft cloth and glass cleaner.
Many cleaners contain solvents that may become
concentrated in your vehicle’s breathing space.
Before using cleaners, read and adhere to all safety
instructions on the label. While cleaning your vehicle’s
interior, maintain adequate ventilation by opening
your vehicle’s doors and windows.
Dust may be removed from small buttons and knobs
using a small brush with soft bristles.
