Tire Service Kit Components

1 — Sealant Cartridge

2 — Filler Tube

3 — Adhesive Label

4 — Air Compressor

Tire Service Kit Location

The Tire Service Kit includes:

● 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.

● Sealant cartridge containing the sealing fluid.

● Filler tube.

NOTE:

● Adhesive label with the writing "Max. 50 mph (80

km/h)”, to be attached in a position easily visible to

the driver (e.g. on the dashboard) after repairing the

tire.

● Do not remove foreign bodies from the tire.

The sealant is effective with external temperatures of

between -40°F (-40°C) and 122°F (50°C). The sealant

has an expiration date.

● Do not leave the compressor running for more

than 20 minutes, this may cause overheating.

To use the Tire Service Kit, proceed as follows:

● Do not use Tire Service Kit or drive the vehicle

under the following circumstances:

● Air compressor, complete with pressure gauge and

connectors.

1. Stop the vehicle in a position where you can repair

the tire safely. You should be as far as possible

from the side of the road, and in a position that

is not dangerous for oncoming traffic. Activate

the Hazard Warning Flashers, remove the safety

triangle from the trunk, and place it at a suitable

distance from the vehicle to make other drivers

aware of your presence.

● An instruction pamphlet for reference in prompt and

correct use of the Tire Service Kit, which must be

then given to the personnel dealing with the sealant-

treated tire.

○ 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.

● A pair of protective gloves.

● Adaptors for inflating different elements.

○ If the tire has any damage from driving on a flat

tire.

2. Verify that the valve stem (on the wheel with the

deflated tire) is in a position that is near to the

check the pressure value on pressure gauge with

the compressor off.

10. If the pressure is less than 26 psi (1.8 bar),

DO NOT drive the vehicle, and see an authorized

dealer.

11. If a pressure value of at least 26 psi (1.8 bar) is

detected, restore the correct pressure (with engine

running and Electric Park Brake applied), and

drive immediately with great care to an authorized

dealer.

CHECKING AND RESTORING TIRE PRESSURE

The compressor can also be used to check and, if

necessary, restore the tire pressure.

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

at an authorized dealer.

Proceed as follows:

1. Release the quick connector and connect it

directly to the valve of the tire to be inflated.

7. If the pressure is not at least 26 psi (1.8 bar) after

15 minutes, disengage the compressor from the

valve and power outlet. Then, move the vehicle

forwards approximately 33 ft (10 m) in order to

distribute the sealant inside the tire evenly, and

then repeat the inflation operation.

12. Apply the adhesive label from the sealant bottle

where it can be easily seen by the driver as a

reminder that the tire has been treated with a Tire

Service Kit, as well as not to exceed the speed

restriction for the treated tire.

8. If you still cannot obtain a pressure of at least

26 psi (1.8 bar) within 15 minutes of turning

the compressor on, do not drive the vehicle, and

contact an authorized dealer.

If the vehicle's high voltage battery has also been

discharged, it will need to be recharged to a minimum

operating State Of Charge (SOC) before the vehicle can

be operated:

2. Push the air release button.

● If the vehicle can be connected to a Level 1 or Level

2 charger where it is currently parked, the vehicle

will still require a jump start to allow the vehicle to

begin the battery charging process. Once the vehicle

charging has begun (indicated by the charge status

indicator on top of the vehicle's instrument panel),

the jumper cables can be removed from the vehicle

jump posts.

● If the vehicle cannot be connected to a Level 1 or

Level 2 charger where it is currently parked, the

vehicle can be moved by connecting 12 Volt power

to the vehicle's jump posts and then shifting the

transmission from PARK (P) into NEUTRAL (N). Power

provided by the jumper cables will also allow the

Electric Park Brake to be released. Carefully move

the vehicle to a Level 1 or Level 2 charge location.

While the vehicle is being moved, the external 12

Volt power must remain connected to the vehicle

jump posts.

JUMP STARTING

SEALANT CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT

NOTE:

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

improperly, so please follow the procedures in this

section carefully.

Only use original cartridges, which can be purchased at

an authorized dealer.

Proceed as follows:

NOTE:

Be careful when moving the vehicle - ensure that

control of the vehicle is maintained. Also, ensure that

vehicle is secured to prevent unintentional movement

during and after moving the vehicle. If the external

12 Volt power becomes disconnected from the vehicle

jump posts or there is an interruption of the 12

Volt power while moving the vehicle, the vehicle's

transmission may engage PARK. Do not allow the

jumper cables to come in contact with each other or

to the vehicle, this will result in a short.

1. Remove the sealant cartridge by pushing the

release button located on the side of the

compressor.

When using a portable battery booster pack, follow the

manufacturer’s operating instructions and precautions.

The vehicle requires its 12 Volt battery power to turn-

on the vehicle's high voltage battery. The high voltage

battery is used to charge the 12 Volt battery, provide

electric vehicle operation. If the 12 Volt battery has

been discharged, the vehicle can be jump started using

a set of jumper cables and a battery in another vehicle

or by using a portable battery booster pack.

2. Insert the new sealant cartridge by pushing

downward firmly.
