TIRE REPAIR KIT — IF
EQUIPPED
Description
If a tire is punctured, you can make a first
emergency repair using the Tire Repair
Kit located in the rear storage area under
the load floor.
Note: Vehicles equipped with Run Flat
Tires will not be equipped with aTire
Repair Kit.
The Tire Repair 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 (eg. 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
Repair Kit, which must be then given to
the personnel dealing with the
sealant-treated tire.
A pair of protective gloves.
Some adaptors, for inflating different
elements.
Note: The sealing fluid is effective with
external temperatures of between -40°F
(-40°C) and 122°F (50°C). The sealing
fluid has an expiration date.
To use theTire Repair 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. Engage
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 repair kit
flat on the ground.
3. Shift the gear selector to PARK (P).
4. Apply the electric park brake and turn
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 Tire Service Kit.
Do not use Tire Service Kit or drive the
vehicle under the following circumstances:
If the puncture in the tire tread is
approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) or larger.
If the tire has any sidewall damage.
