Locking Lug Nuts — If Equipped

Warning!

If your vehicle has optional anti-theft

wheel lug nuts, one on each wheel will

lock the tires and you must use a

special key to unlock them. This key will

attach to the lug wrench.

To Install The Anti-theft Lug Nut

Proceed as follows:

Being under a jacked-up vehicle is

dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the

jack and fall on you. You could be crushed.

Never get any part of your body under a

vehicle that is on a jack. If you need to get

under a raised vehicle, take it to a service

center where it can be raised on a lift.

1. Place the special key on top of the

nut, and be sure to hold the key square

to it. If you hold the key at an angle, you

may damage both key and nut. Do not

use a power impact wrench.

Register them with the lock

manufacturer by filling out the card

provided in the glove compartment and

mailing it in the accompanying

envelope. If you lose this key, contact

an authorized dealer or use the lock

manufacturer's order form, which is

with the registration card.

2. Place the lug wrench on top of the

special key, apply pressure, and turn it

clockwise.

6. Turn the jack handle clockwise and

raise the vehicle high enough so that

the tire is just raised off the ground and

can be removed. Before removing the

lug nuts, make sure your vehicle is

firmly in position and that it cannot slip

or move.

Accessory wheel locks cannot be used

on steel wheels. This includes situations

when the spare tire is installed. If the

spare tire is installed, one of the original

lug nuts (which should still be in the

vehicle) must be installed in place of the

wheel lock.

Tire Service Usage

Precautions

Sealing A Tire With Tire

Service Kit

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.

The tire sealant cannot be reused. If the

sealant has been used, or is expired,

purchase new tire sealant at an

authorized dealer.

Warning!

Note: The Tire Service Kit cannot be

used in the following cases. Consult an

authorized dealer if any of these

conditions exist:

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.

Tire Service Kit Sealant solution contains

latex. In case of an allergic reaction or

rash, consult a physician immediately.

Keep Tire Service Kit out of reach of

children. If swallowed, rinse mouth

immediately with plenty of water and drink

plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting!

Consult a physician immediately.

Do not use Tire Service Kit or drive the

vehicle under the following circumstances:

The period of effective use for the

tire sealant has expired (the period of

effectiveness is indicated on the bottle

label).

If the puncture in the tire tread is

approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) or larger.

If the tire has any sidewall damage.

The tear or puncture in the tire

exceeds about 0.16 inches (4 mm).

If the tire has any damage from driving

with extremely low tire pressure.

The damage has occurred to an

area of the tire other than the tread.

U.S.A. And CANADA Markets:

If the tire has any damage from driving

on a flat tire.

Proceed as follows:

The vehicle has been driven with

nearly no air remaining in the tire.

1. Pull over to a safe location and turn

on the vehicle’s Hazard Warning Lights.

If the wheel has any damage.

If you are unsure of the condition of the

tire or the wheel.

The tire has come off the wheel rim.

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 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.

Damage to the wheel rim has

occurred.

Keep Tire Service Kit away from open

flames or heat sources.

The tire has two or more punctures.

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 warnings can result

in injuries that are serious or fatal to you,

your passengers, and others around you.

3. Place the gear selector in REVERSE

for a manual transmission, and PARK

for automatic transmission.

7. Pull out the air compressor hose

and the air compressor plug from the

air compressor.

4. Apply the parking brake with the

brake pedal pressed and cycle the

engine OFF.

5. Unload passengers and cargo, then

excessively. Otherwise, the sealant

could spray out of the injection hose. If

the sealant contacts clothing or other

objects, you may not be able to

remove it.

The sealant hardens easily, and

injecting it will be difficult under cold

weather conditions (32 °F (0 °C) or

below). Warm the sealant inside the

vehicle to facilitate injection.

8. Install the air compressor hose,

which was pulled out of the air

compressor, into the injection valve of

the bottle.

11. Insert the air compressor plug into

the accessory socket, located deep in

the back of the footwell on the

passenger side, and cycle the ignition

to ACC.

Note: When inserting the air

compressor plug into or removing it

from the accessory socket, make sure

that the air compressor switch is off.

When turning the air compressor on/off,

use the air compressor switch. Before

checking the tire inflation pressure using

the tire pressure gauge, turn the air

compressor switch off.

12. The sealant is injected into the tire

when the air compressor is switched

on. After the sealant is injected

completely, wait until the tire inflation

pressure increases to the specified tire

inflation pressure. For the correct

pressure, check the tire inflation

pressure label on the driver's door

frame.

10. Install the bottle to the air

compressor and push it in until the left

and right tabs are engaged securely.

Note: Make sure that the air

compressor switch is off before

inserting the air compressor hose into

the injection valve of the bottle. If the air

compressor hose is not installed to the

injection valve of the bottle securely, the

sealant may leak.

Note: The inflation pressure may

increase to about 43.5 psi (3 Bar)

temporarily to inject the sealant through

the valve. Normally, the inflation

pressure decreases gradually and it

reaches the actual inflation pressure

after about 30 seconds.

9. Remove the valve cap from the valve

of the flat tire, install the injection hose

to the tire valve, and turn the sleeve to

the right to tighten.

16. Remove the air compressor hose

from the injection valve of the bottle.

Then, install the injection hose to the

injection valve of the bottle to prevent

leakage of any remaining sealant.

Warning!

Never use the air compressor above 3 Bar

(43.5 psi). Using the air compressor at an

inflation pressure above 3 Bar (43.5 psi)

continuously is dangerous. If the air

compressor overheats, hot air will be

exhausted and you could get burned.

Do not adhere the speed restriction sticker

to the padded area on the steering wheel.

Adhering the speed restriction sticker to

the padded area on the steering wheel is

dangerous because the air bag may not

operate (deploy) normally resulting in

serious injury. In addition, do not adhere

the sticker to areas where warning lights or

the speedometer cannot be viewed.

Caution!

14. Adhere the repaired tire sticker to

the wheel of the flat tire.

If the tire inflation pressure does not

increase, repair of the tire is not possible. If

the tire does not reach the specified tire

inflation pressure within 10 minutes, it may

have received extensive damage. In this

case, the repair using the tire service kit

was not successful.
