If a tire is punctured, you can make a first
emergency repair using the Tire Service Kit
located in the rear storage compartment in-
side the storage container.
Tire punctures of up to 1/4 inch (6 mm) can
be repaired; the kit can be used in all weather
conditions. Do not remove the foreign object
from the punctured tire, i.e., screw or nail.
1. Remove the Tire Service Kit from the
vehicle, take it out from the bag and place
it near the punctured tire. Screw the clear
flexible filling tube to the tire valve.
2. Insert the power plug into the vehicle
power outlet socket. Start the vehicle
engine.
3. Push the Tire Service Kit power button to
the “I” position. The electric compressor
will be turned on, sealant and air will
inflate the tire.
Minimum 26 psi (1.8 bar) of pressure
should be reached within 20 minutes. If
the pressure has not been reached turn
off and remove the Tire Service Kit, drive
the vehicle 30 feet (10 meters) back and
forth, to better distribute the sealant in-
side the tire.
4. Attach the clear flexible filling tube of the
compressor directly to the tire valve and
repeat the inflation process.
When the correct pressure has been
reached, start driving the vehicle to uni-
formly distribute the sealant inside the
tire. After 10 minutes, stop and check
the tire pressure. If the pressure is below
19 psi (1.3 bar), do not drive the vehicle,
as the tire is too damaged, and contact
the nearest authorized dealer.
WARNING!
Tire Service Kit is not a permanent flat tire
repair. Have the tire inspected and re-
paired or replaced after using Tire Service
Kit. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) until
the tire is repaired or replaced. Failure to
follow this warning can result in injuries
that are serious or fatal to you, your pas-
sengers, and others around you. Have the
WARNING!
tire checked as soon as possible at an
authorized dealer.
If the pressure is at 19 psi (1.3 bar) or
above repeat the inflation process to
reach the correct tire pressure and con-
tinue driving.
5. Peel off the warning label from the bottle
and place it on the dashboard as a re-
minder to the driver that the tire has been
treated with Tire Service Kit.
WARNING!
The metal end fitting from Power Plug may
get hot after use, so it should be handled
carefully.
