WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES • The jack and spare tire or TIREFIT kit are stowed under an access cover in the trunk. • Lift the access cover using the pull strap and remove the fastener securing the spare tire. • After removing the spare tire, remove the fastener securing the jack. Preparations For Jacking Or TIREFIT Tire Repair • Park on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice or slippery areas. • Set the parking brake and shift the transmission into PARK.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES • Place the jack underneath the lift area that is closest to the flat tire. Turn the jack screw clockwise to firmly engage the jack saddle with the lift area of the sill flange. • Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw clockwise. Raise the vehicle only until the tire just clears the surface and enough clearance is obtained to install the spare tire. WARNING! Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle less stable and cause an accident.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES • Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while tightening for increased leverage. Alternate nuts until each one has been tightened twice. The correct wheel nut tightness is 100 ft lbs (135 N•m). If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or at a service station. WARNING! To assure that spare tires, flat or inflated, are securely stowed, spares must be stowed with the valve stem facing the ground.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES • Continue to operate the pump until sealant is no longer flowing through the hose (typically takes 30 - 70 seconds). As the sealant flows through the Clear Sealant Hose, the pressure gauge can read as high as 70 psi. The pressure gauge will decrease quickly from approximately 70 psi to the actual tire pressure when the sealant bottle is empty. • The pump will start to inject air into the tire immediately after the sealant bottle is empty.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES • Place the TIREFIT kit in its proper storage area in the vehicle. • Have the tire inspected and repaired or replaced at the earliest opportunity at an authorized service center. NOTE: When having the tire serviced, advise the authorized dealer or service center that the tire has been sealed using the TIREFIT service kit. • Refer to the Owner’s Manual on the DVD for Sealant Bottle and Hose Replacement.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES JUMP-STARTING • If your vehicle has a discharged battery it can be jump-started using a set of jumper cables and a battery in another vehicle or by using a portable battery booster pack. • Jump-starting can be dangerous if done improperly so please follow the procedures in this section carefully. NOTE: When using a portable battery booster pack follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions and precautions.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES WARNING! • Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can start anytime the ignition switch is on. You can be injured by moving fan blades. • Remove any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets that might make an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be seriously injured. • Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and generate hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES WARNING! Do not connect the cable to the negative post (-) of the discharged battery. The resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to explode and could result in personal injury. • Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery, let the engine idle a few minutes, and then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.

MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING! Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause accidents. Under-inflation is the leading cause of tire failure and may result in severe cracking, component separation, or “blow out”. Over-inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure. Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems. You could lose control of your vehicle.
