TIRE SERVICE KIT
Description
If a tire is punctured, you can make an emer-
gency repair using the Tire Service Kit located
in the trunk beneath the load floor.
Tire Service Kit Location
The Tire Service Kit includes:
Sealant cartridge containing the sealing
fluid.
Filler tube.
Adhesive label with the writing "Max.
50 mph (80 km/h)”, to be attached in a
position easily visible to the driver (e.g on
the dashboard) after repairing the tire.
Air compressor, complete with pressure
gauge and connectors.
An instruction pamphlet for reference in
prompt and correct use of the Tire Service Kit,
which must be then given to the personnel
dealing with the sealant-treated tire.
A pair of protective gloves.
Adapters for inflating different elements.
Tire Service Kit Components
NOTE:
The sealant is effective with external tempera-
tures 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.
3. Place the gear selector to PARK (P).
4. Apply the electric park brake and cycle the
engine OFF.
