Chrysler Pacifica (2019 year). Instruction — part 30

CAUTION!

Be sure to mount the inflatable spare tire with the
valve stem facing outward. The vehicle could be dam-
aged if the inflatable spare tire is mounted incorrectly.

NOTE:

Do not install the wheel cover on the inflatable

spare tire.

7. Leave the vehicle on the jack and start inflating the

inflatable spare after the tire has been mounted to the
vehicle. Secure the wheel to the hub by tightening the

nuts with wrench. After inflation, once the vehicle is
lowered you will have a second opportunity to “torque”
the lug nuts.

8. Inflate the tire to the prescribed pressure 60 psi (4.2 Bar)

using the Portable Air Compressor or Tire Service Kit if
equipped. Refer to “Portable Air Compressor” in this
section for usage procedure if equipped. Refer to “Tire
Service Kit For Inflating Tire” in this section for usage
procedure if equipped.

9. Lower the vehicle once the inflatable Spare has reached

its pressure and the compressor-hose has been removed
from the tire valve.

10. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the

wrench while at the end of the handle for increased
leverage. Tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern until
each nut has been tightened twice. Refer to “Torque
Specifications” in “Technical Specifications” for proper
wheel lug nut torque. If in doubt about the correct
tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench by
your authorized dealer or at a service station.

11. Lower the jack to its fully-closed position.

WARNING!

A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or
hard stop could endanger the occupants of the vehicle.
Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in the
places provided. Have the deflated (flat) tire repaired
or replaced immediately.

12. Place the deflated (flat) tire and foam tray cover

assembly in the rear cargo area. Do not stow the
deflated tire in the inflatable spare tire location.

Have

the full-sized tire repaired or replaced, as soon as
possible.

13. Stow the jack back in the stowage compartment and

place the access panel back. The stud of the storage
area must be threaded through the lower part of the
jack. Then turn the Jack Screw clockwise to secure it in
place.

NOTE:

Stow the foam tray and components in the cargo

area.

Road Tire Installation

Vehicles Equipped With Wheel Covers

1. Mount the road tire on the axle.

2. To ease the installation process for steel wheels with

wheel covers, install two lug nuts on the mounting
studs which are on each side of the valve stem. Install

the lug nuts with the cone shaped end of the nut toward
the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts.

3. Align the valve notch in the wheel cover with the valve

stem on the wheel. Install the cover by hand, snapping
the cover over the two lug nuts. Do not use a hammer or
excessive force to install the cover.

4. Install the remaining lug nuts with the cone shaped end

of the nut toward the wheel. Lightly tighten all the lug
nuts until the wheel sits flush onto the hub and there is
no play. The nuts will have to be fully tightened once the
vehicle is lowered. Tightening an improperly seated
wheel under vehicle load can damage the threads, cause
vibration, and undermine safety.

WARNING!

To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do
not tighten the wheel nuts fully until the vehicle has
been lowered. Failure to follow this warning may
result in serious injury.

5. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack

handle counterclockwise.

6. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the

wrench while at the end of the handle for increased
leverage. Tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern until each
nut has been tightened twice. Refer to “Torque Specifi-
cations” in “Technical Specifications” for proper wheel
lug nut torque. If in doubt about the correct tightness,
have them checked with a torque wrench by an autho-
rized dealer or at a service station.

ground. This will provide the best positioning of the kit
when 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 and cycle the ignition in

the OFF position.

4. Ensure the park brake is engaged.

Setting Up To Use Tire Service Kit:

1. Remove the Tire Service Kit from the storage location.

2. Uncoil the Sealant/Air Hose. Remove the cap from the

valve stem and then screw the fitting
in at the end of the Sealant/Air Hose
clockwise onto the valve stem.

3. Uncoil the Power Plug and insert the plug into the

vehicle’s 12 Volt power outlet.

4. Place the Tire Service Kit on the ground next to the

deflated tire.

Tire Service Kit Usage Precautions
• Replace the Tire Service Kit Sealant Bottle prior to the

expiration date (printed at the lower right hand corner
on the bottle label) to assure optimum operation of the
system. Refer to “Sealant Bottle Replacement” in this
section.

486

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

• The Sealant Bottle is a one tire application use and needs

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
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.

• The Tire Service Kit Sealant is only intended to seal

punctures less than 1/4 inch (6 mm) diameter in the
tread/contact surface of your vehicle’s tires.

• The Tire Service Kit Sealant is not intended to seal

punctures on the tires’ side walls.

• 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.

• 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 circumstances:

– 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 pressure.

– 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.
