Tire Service Kit Components
1 — Sealant Cartridge
2 — Filler Tube
3 — Adhesive Label
4 — Air Compressor
NOTE:
The sealant is effective with external temperatures of
between -40°F (-40°C) and 122°F (50°C). The sealant
has an expiration date.
To use the Tire Service Kit, proceed as follows:
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.
2.
Verify that the valve stem (on the wheel with the
deflated tire) is in a position that is near to the
ground. This will allow the tire service kit hoses to
reach the valve stem and keep the tire repair kit
flat on the ground. If equipped, use all available
safety equipment required by law.
3.
Place the gear selector to PARK (P).
