INFLATION PROCEDURE  
WARNING!  
The information required by current legislation  
is shown on the kit cartridge label. Read the  
cartridge label before use, avoid improper use.  
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

If the wheel has any damage.  
If you are unsure of the condition of the tire or  
the wheel.  
Keep Tire Service Kit away from open flames or  
heat sources.  
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.

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 placard, located on the driver’s side B-pillar or  
9. Drive the vehicle for about 5 miles (8 km), stop,  
apply the Electric Park Brake, and recheck the tire  
pressure.  
WARNING!  
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.

194. In order to obtain a more precise reading,  
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  
you. Have the tire checked as soon as possible  
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.  
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY 173  
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.  
Sealant Cartridge Replacement

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.

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:  
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.
