224 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
(Continued)
(Continued)
To use the Semi-Auto 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 Semi-Auto Kit
hoses to reach the valve stem and keep the
tire repair kit flat on the ground.
3. Place the gear selector to PARK (P).
4. Apply the Electric Park Brake and cycle the
engine OFF.
INFLATION PROCEDURE
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 Semi-Auto Kit.
Do not use the Semi-Auto Kit or drive the
vehicle under the following circumstances:
If the puncture in the tire tread is approxi-
mately 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.
If you are unsure of the condition of the
tire or the wheel.
Keep the Semi-Auto Kit away from open
flames or heat sources.
A loose Semi-Auto Kit thrown forward in a colli-
sion or hard stop could endanger the occu-
pants of the vehicle. Always stow the
Semi-Auto 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.
WARNING!
Take care not to allow the contents of the
Semi-Auto Kit to come in contact with hair,
eyes, or clothing. Semi-Auto Kit sealant is
harmful if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed
through the skin. It causes skin, eye, and
respiratory irritation. Flush immediately with
plenty of water if there is any contact with eyes
or skin. Change clothing as soon as possible,
if there is any contact with clothing.
Semi-Auto Kit sealant solution contains latex.
In case of an allergic reaction or rash, consult
a physician immediately. Keep the Semi-Auto
Kit out of reach of children. If swallowed, rinse
mouth immediately with plenty of water and
drink plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting!
Consult a physician immediately.
