Old valves may leak. When new

tubeless tires are mounted,

have new valves of the correct

type installed. Tubeless tires

must only be mounted on

wheels designed for tubeless

tires i.e., wheels which have

safety humps or ledges.

It is recommended that you have

your tires and wheels balanced.

Tires and wheels, which are not

balanced, may cause steering

difficulties, a bumpy ride, and

irregular tire wear.

Be sure that all your valves

have suitable valve caps. The

valve cap is the primary seal

against air loss.

TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES

When using any temporary spare

tire, be sure to follow the vehicle

manufacturer’s instructions.

REMEMBER... TO AVOID

DAMAGE TO YOUR TIRES AND

POSSIBLE ACCIDENT:

• CHECK TIRE PRESSURE AT

LEAST ONCE EACH MONTH

WHEN TIRES ARE COLD AND

BEFORE LONG TRIPS.

• DO NOT

UNDERINFLATE/OVERINFLATE.

• DO NOT OVERLOAD.

• DRIVE AT MODERATE

SPEEDS, OBSERVE LEGAL

LIMITS.

• AVOID DRIVING OVER

POTHOLES, OBSTACLES,

CURBS OR EDGES OF

PAVEMENT.

• AVOID EXCESSIVE WHEEL

SPINNING.

• IF YOU SEE ANY DAMAGE TO

A TIRE, REPLACE WITH THE

SPARE AND VISIT ANY

AUTHORIZED RETAILER AT

ONCE.

• IF YOU HAVE ANY

QUESTIONS, CONTACT YOUR

AUTHORIZED RETAILER.

Highway Hazards

No matter how carefully you drive,

there is always the possibility that

you could eventually have a flat

tire on the highway. Drive slowly

to the closest safe area out of

traffic. This could further damage

the flat tire, but your safety is

more important.

If you feel a sudden vibration or

ride disturbance while driving, or

you suspect your tire or vehicle

has been damaged, immediately

reduce your speed. Drive with

caution until you can safely pull

off the road. Stop and inspect the

tires for damage. If a tire is

under-inflated or damaged,

deflate it, remove the wheel and

replace it with your spare tire and

wheel. If you cannot detect a

cause, have the vehicle towed to

the nearest repair facility or tire

dealer to have the vehicle

inspected.

Tire and Wheel Alignment

A bad jolt from hitting a curb or

pothole can cause the front end

of your vehicle to become

misaligned or cause damage to

your tires. If your vehicle seems to

pull to one side when you are

driving, the wheels could be out of

alignment. Have an authorized

dealer check the wheel alignment

periodically.

Wheel misalignment in the front

or the rear can cause uneven and

rapid treadwear of your tires and

should be corrected by an

authorized dealer.

INSPECTING THE WHEEL

VALVE STEMS

Check the valve stems for holes,

cracks, or cuts that could permit

air leakage.

TIRE ROTATION

WARNING: If the tire label

shows different tire pressures for

the front and rear tires and the

vehicle has a tire pressure

monitoring system, then you

need to update the settings for

the system sensors. Always

perform the system reset

procedure after tire rotation. If

you do not reset the system, it

may not provide a low tire

pressure warning when

necessary.

Rotating your tires at the

recommended interval will help

your tires wear more evenly,

providing better tire performance

and longer tire life.

Note: If your tires show any uneven

wear have the alignment checked

by an authorized dealer before

rotating tires.

Note: If you have a dissimilar spare

wheel and tire assembly, it is

intended for temporary use only

and should not be used in a tire

rotation.

Note: After having your tires

rotated, inflation pressure must be

checked and adjusted to the

vehicle requirements.

Tire Rotation Diagram

Follow the diagram indicating the

correct tire locations for rotating

the tires.

WHAT IS THE TIRE SEALANT

AND INFLATOR KIT

The kit consists of an air compressor to

re-inflate the tire and a canister of sealing

compound that will effectively seal most

punctures. This kit will provide a temporary

tire repair allowing you to drive your vehicle

up to 120 mi (200 km) at a maximum

speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) to reach a tire

service location.

Note: The temporary mobility kit contains

enough sealant compound in the canister

for one tire repair only. See an authorized

dealer for replacement sealant canisters.

TIRE SEALANT AND INFLATOR

KIT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: Failure to follow these

guidelines could result in an increased

risk of loss of vehicle control, injury or

death.

WARNING: Do not run the engine

when operating the air compressor

unless the vehicle is outdoors or in a

well-ventilated area.

Note: Do not use the kit if a tire has become

severely damaged. Only punctures located

within the tire tread can be sealed with the

kit.

Do not attempt to repair punctures larger

than 0.24 in (6 mm) or damage to the tire's

sidewall. The tire may not completely seal.

• Drive carefully and avoid abrupt

steering maneuvers.

• Periodically monitor tire inflation

pressure in the affected tire; if the tire

is losing pressure, have the vehicle

towed.

• Read the information in the Tips for

Use of the Kit section to make sure safe

operation of the kit and your vehicle.

After sealant use, the tire pressure

monitoring system sensor and valve stem

on the wheel must be replaced by an

authorized dealer.

LOCATING THE TIRE SEALANT

AND INFLATOR KIT

The kit is located under the load floor in

the rear of the vehicle.

USING THE TIRE SEALANT

AND INFLATOR KIT

Tips for use of the kit

To make sure the kit operates safely and

properly, observe the following:

• Before operating the kit, make sure

your vehicle is safely off the road and

away from moving traffic.

• Do not remove any foreign objects,

such as nails or screws, from the tire.

• Do not allow the compressor to

operate continuously for more than 15

minutes. This prevents the compressor

from overheating.

• Only use the kit when the ambient

temperature is between -22°F (-30°C)

and 158°F (70°C).

• Only use the sealing compound before

the use-by date. The use-by date is on

a label on the sealant canister and can

be seen through the rectangular

viewing window on the bottom of the

compressor. Check the use-by date

regularly and replace the canister when

the sealant expires.

Note: Sealant compound contains latex.

Use appropriate precautions to avoid any

allergic reactions.

E175978

Place the selector in the Air

position when inflating a tire or

other objects.

What to do when a tire is punctured

A tire puncture within the tire's tread area

can be repaired in two stages with the kit.
