Tire sealing system
Location of the tire sealing kit
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire sealing
system that enables you to temporarily seal a
hole in the tread surface and reinflate a flat
tire, or to adjust a tire's inflation pressure.
• The tire sealing kit is stowed behind the
ski hatch in the center of the rear seat
backrest.

Location of the tools
The system consists of an air compressor, an
integrated container for the sealing com-
pound, wiring to connect the system to the
vehicle's electrical system via one of the 12-
volt sockets, and a hose used to connect the
system to the tire's inflation valve.
NOTE
The tire sealing system is only intended to
seal holes on the tire's tread area, not the
sidewall.
• Tires with large holes or tears cannot be
repaired with the tire sealing system.
WARNING
• After using the tire sealing system, the
vehicle should not be driven farther than
approximately 120 miles (200 km). Have the
tire replaced as soon as possible.
• The vehicle should not be driven faster
than 50 mph (80 km/h) while using a tire that
has been temporarily repaired with the tire
sealing system.
• After using the tire sealing system, drive
carefully and avoid abrupt steering maneu-
vers and sudden stops.
• A tire that has been temporarily inflated
with the tire sealing kit cannot be repaired
and re-used. It must be replaced.
