TIRE SERVICE KIT

Small punctures up to 1/4 inch (6 mm) in the tire tread can

be sealed with Tire Service Kit. Foreign objects (e.g., screws

or nails) should not be removed from the tire. Tire Service

Kit can be used in outside temperatures down to approxi-

mately -4°F (-20°C).

208 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

Tire Service Kit Usage Precautions

• The Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant Hose (6) are a one tire

application use and need to be replaced after each use.

Always replace these components immediately at your

original equipment vehicle dealer.

• Replace the Tire Service Kit Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant

Hose (6) 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 “Sealing A

Tire With Tire Service Kit” section (F) “Sealant Bottle

And Hose Replacement”.

• 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.

• 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

Hose (7) and make sure the Mode Select Knob (5) is in

the Air Mode when inflating such items to avoid inject-

ing sealant into them. The Tire Service Kit Sealant is only

intended to seal punctures less than 1/4 inch (6 mm)

diameter in the tread of your tire.

Tire Service Kit Expiration Date Location

• Do not lift or carry the Tire Service Kit by the hoses.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY 209

provided. Failure to follow these warnings can result

in injuries that are serious or fatal to you, your

passengers, and others around you.

• 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.

• 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.

• Tire Service Kit Sealant solution contains latex. In

case of an allergic reaction or rash, consult a physi-

cian 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 immedi-

ately.

• 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.

7

– If you are unsure of the condition of the tire or the

wheel.

• Keep Tire Service Kit away from open flames or heat

source.

• 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

Sealing A Tire With Tire Service Kit

3. Place the Tire Service Kit flat on the ground next to the

deflated tire.

(A) Whenever You Stop To Use Tire Service Kit:

4. Remove the cap from the valve stem and then screw the

fitting at the end of the Sealant Hose (6) onto the valve

stem.

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 (6) and (7) 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.

5. Uncoil the Power Plug (8) 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.

(C) Injecting Tire Service Kit Sealant Into The

Deflated Tire:

• Always start the engine before turning ON the Tire

3. Place the transmission in PARK (auto transmission) or in

Gear (manual transmission) and place the ignition in the

OFF position.

Service Kit.

NOTE: Manual transmission vehicles must have the park-

ing brake engaged and the gear selector in NEUTRAL.

4. Apply the parking brake.

• After pushing the Power Button (4), the sealant (white

fluid) will flow from the Sealant Bottle (1) through the

Sealant Hose (6) and into the tire.

(B) Setting Up To Use Tire Service Kit:

1. Push in the Mode Select Knob (5) and turn to the Sealant

Mode position.

tire.

2. Uncoil the Sealant Hose (6) and then remove the cap

from the fitting at the end of the hose.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY 211

If the sealant (white fluid) does not flow within 0 – 10

seconds through the Sealant Hose (6):

If the sealant (white fluid) does flow through the Sealant

Hose (6):

1. Push the Power Button (4) to turn Off the Tire Service

Kit. Disconnect the Sealant Hose (6) from the valve stem.

Make sure the valve stem is free of debris. Reconnect the

Sealant Hose (6) to the valve stem. Check that the Mode

Select Knob (5) is in the Sealant Mode position and not

Air Mode. Push the Power Button (4) to turn On the Tire

Service Kit.

1. Continue to operate the pump until sealant is no longer

flowing through the hose (typically takes 30 - 70 sec-

onds). As the sealant flows through the Sealant Hose (6),

the Pressure Gauge (3) can read as high as 70 psi

(4.8 Bar). The Pressure Gauge (3) will decrease quickly

from approximately 70 psi (4.8 Bar) to the actual tire

pressure when the Sealant Bottle (1) is empty.

2. Connect the Power Plug (8) to a different 12 Volt power

outlet in your vehicle or another vehicle, if available.

Make sure the engine is running before turning ON the

Tire Service Kit.

2. The pump will start to inject air into the tire immedi-

ately after the Sealant Bottle (1) 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 (3).

3. The Sealant Bottle (1) may be empty due to previous

use. Call for assistance.

If the tire does not inflate to at least 26 psi (1.8 Bar)

pressure within 15 minutes:

NOTE: If the Mode Select Knob (5) is on Air Mode and the

pump is operating, air will dispense from the Air Pump

Hose (7) only, not the Sealant Hose (6).

• The tire is too badly damaged. Do not attempt to drive

the vehicle further. Call for assistance.

NOTE: If the tire becomes overinflated, push the Deflation

Button to reduce the tire pressure to the recommended

inflation pressure before continuing.

212 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

If the tire inflates to the recommended pressure or is at

least 26 psi (1.8 Bar) pressure within 15 minutes:

(D) Drive Vehicle:

Immediately after injecting sealant and inflating the tire,

drive the vehicle 5 miles (8 km) or ten minutes to ensure

distribution of the Tire Service Kit Sealant within the tire.

Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).

valve stem, reinstall the cap on the fitting at the end of the

hose, and place the Tire Service Kit in the vehicle storage

location. Quickly proceed to (D) “Drive Vehicle.”
