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
and 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 necessary to place the valve stem in this
position before proceeding.
3. Place the transmission in PARK and place the igni-
tion in the OFF position.
4. Apply the parking brake.
5. Remove speed limit sticker off of the sealant car-
tridge and place it inside the vehicle visually avail-
able for the driver to see.
Setting Up To Use The Tire Service Kit
1. Push in the sealant cartridge inlet into the sealant
cartridge receptacle.
2. Uncoil the Sealant 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 onto the
valve stem.
Sealant Cartridge Components

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
5. 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 Sealant Into The Tire
1. Always start the engine before turning on the Tire
Service Kit.
2. After pushing the Power Button, the sealant (white
fluid) will flow from the sealant cartridge through
the sealant hose and into the tire. As the sealant flows
through the sealant hose, the pressure gauge can
read as high as 70 psi (4.8 Bar). The pressure gauge
will decrease quickly from approximately 70 psi (4.8
Bar) to the actual tire pressure when the sealant
cartridge is empty.
NOTE:
Sealant may leak out through the puncture in
the tire.
3. The pump will start to inject air into the tire imme-
diately after the sealant cartridge 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 looking at the pressure
gauge.
NOTE:
•
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 attempt to drive the vehicle
further. Call for assistance.
•
Do not let the compressor be turned on for more
than 20 consecutive minutes. The pump may over-
heat.
4. Remove sealant cartridge by pushing the cartridge
release button on the side of the compressor.
Drive Vehicle
Immediately after injecting sealant and inflating the
tire, drive the vehicle 5 miles (8 km) or 10 minutes to
ensure distribution of the Tire Service Kit Sealant within
the tire. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).

WARNING!
Tire Service Kit is not a permanent flat tire repair.
Have the tire inspected and repaired or replaced
after using Tire Service Kit. Do not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h) until the tire is repaired or replaced.
Failure to follow this warning can result in injuries
that are serious or fatal to you, your passengers, and
others around you.
After Driving
1. Attach the air pump hose (black) to the repaired tire.
2. Check the pressure in the tire by reading the pressure
gauge. If the pressure is less than 19 psi (1.3 Bar), the
tire is too badly damaged. Do not attempt to drive
the vehicle further. Call for assistance.
NOTE:
A replacement sealant cartridge is available at
an authorized dealer.
Tire Service Kit Usage Precautions
•
Replace the Tire Service Kit Sealant Cartridge and
Sealant Hose prior to the expiration date (printed on
the left hand side of the cartridge label) to assure
optimum operation of the system.
•
The Sealant Cartridge and Sealant Hose are a one tire
application use and need to be replaced after each
use. Always replace these components immediately
at 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 compo-
nents. 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.
•
Do not lift or carry the Tire Service Kit by the hoses.
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 improp-
erly, so please follow the procedures in this section
carefully.
