TIRE SERVICE KIT —
IF EQUIPPED
Description
If a tire is punctured, you can make a first
emergency repair using the Tire Service
Kit located in the rear storage area under
the load platform.
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. Turn on
the hazard warning flashers, remove the
safety triangle from the luggage
compartment, 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 repair kit hoses to reach
the valve stem and keep the tire service
kit flat on the ground.
3. Place the gear selector to PARK (P).
4. Apply the electric park brake and turn
the engine OFF.
