Tirefit Usage Precautions; Sealing A Tire With Tirefit - Fiat 500e User Manual

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
Selecting Sealant Mode
• Turn the Mode Select Knob (5) to this position to inject the TIREFIT Sealant and to in-
flate the tire. Use the Sealant Hose (clear hose) (6) when selecting this mode.
Using The Power Button
• Push and release the Power Button (4) once to turn On the TIREFIT kit. Push and release
the Power Button (4) again to turn Off the TIREFIT kit.
Using The Deflation Button
• Press the Deflation Button (2) to reduce the air pressure in the tire if it becomes
over-inflated.

TIREFIT Usage Precautions

• Replace the TIREFIT Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant Hose (6) prior to the expiration date
(printed on the bottle label) to assure optimum operation of the system. Refer to "Seal-
ing a Tire with TIREFIT" section (F) "Sealant Bottle and Hose Replacement".
• The Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant Hose (6) are a one tire application use.After each use,
always replace these components immediately at an authorized studio.
• When the TIREFIT 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 be-
fore connecting the TIREFIT kit.
• You can use the TIREFIT air pump to inflate bicycle tires.The kit also comes with two
needles, located in the Accessory Storage Compartment (on the bottom of the air
pump) for inflating sport balls, rafts, or similar inflatable items. However, use only the Air
Pump Hose (7) and make sure the Mode Select Knob (5) is in the Air Mode when inflat-
ing such items to avoid injecting sealant into them.The TIREFIT Sealant is only intended to
seal punctures less than 1/4 in (6 mm) diameter in the tread of your vehicle.
• Do not lift or carry the TIREFIT kit by the hoses.

Sealing A Tire With TIREFIT

(A) Whenever You Stop To Use TIREFIT:
1. Pull over to a safe location and turn on the vehicle' s Hazard Warning flashers.
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 TIREFIT Hoses (6) and (7) to reach the valve stem
and keep the TIREFIT kit flat on the ground.This will provide the best positioning of the
kit when injecting the sealant into the deflated tire and running the air pump. Move the
vehicle as necessary to place the valve stem in this position before proceeding.
3. Place the transmission in PARK (auto transmission) or in Gear (manual transmission) and
cycle the ignition to the OFF position.
4. Set the parking brake.
