General Information

WARNING: Failure to follow these guidelines could result in an
increased risk of loss of vehicle control, injury or death.

Note: Do not use the temporary mobility kit if a tire has become
severely damaged by driving the vehicle with a tire that has insufficient
air pressure. Only punctured areas located within the tire tread can be
sealed with the temporary mobility kit.

Do not attempt to repair punctures larger than

1

4

inch (6 millimeters) or

damage to the tire’s sidewall. The tire may not completely seal.

Loss of air pressure may adversely affect tire performance. For this
reason:
Note: Do not drive the vehicle above 50 mph (80 km/h).
Note: Do not drive further than 120 miles (200 kilometers). Drive

only to your closest authorized dealer or tire repair shop to have your
tire inspected.

• Drive carefully and avoid abrupt steering maneuvers.
