Do not drive farther than 120 miles (200 km). Drive only to the

tire is losing pressure, have the vehicle towed.

• Read the information in the Tips for use of the temporary mobility

kit section to ensure safe operation of the temporary mobility kit and
your vehicle.

Tips for use of the temporary mobility kit

Read the following list of tips to ensure safe operation of the temporary
mobility kit:
• Before operating the temporary mobility kit, make sure your vehicle is

safely off the road and away from moving traffic.

• Always set the parking brake to ensure the vehicle doesn’t move

unexpectedly.

• Do not remove any foreign objects, such as nails or screws, from the

tire.

• When using the temporary mobility kit, leave the engine running

(only if the vehicle is outdoors or in a well-ventilated area) so
the compressor doesn’t drain the vehicle’s battery.

• Do not allow the compressor to operate continuously for more than 10

minutes; this will help prevent the compressor from overheating.

• Never leave the temporary mobility kit unattended when it is

operating.

• Keep the temporary mobility kit away from children.
• Only use the temporary mobility kit when the ambient temperature is

above –20°F (-29°C).

• Only use the temporary mobility kit for sealing/inflating the tires on

your vehicle. Do not use the kit for inflating tires on motorcycles,
bicycles or any other type of tire.

• Only use the sealing compound before the expiration date. The

expiration date is labeled on the unit.

• Do not store the temporary mobility kit inside the passenger

compartment of the vehicle as it may cause injury during a sudden
stop or collision. Store the kit in its proper location.
