Tire Service Kit Usage Precautions
• 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".
• 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 equip-
ment vehicle dealer.
• 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 Com-
partment (on the bottom of the air pump) for
inflating sport balls, rafts, or similar inflatable
102
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
injecting 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.
• Do not lift or carry the Tire Service Kit by the
hoses.
WARNING!
• 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.
• 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.
WARNING!
– 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 provided. Failure
to follow these warnings can result in injuries
that are serious or fatal to you, your passen-
gers, and others around you.

Service Kit to come in contact with hair,
eyes, or clothing. Tire Service Kit sealant is
