CAUTION!

• The metal end fitting from the Power Plug and Cable may get hot after use and

should be handled carefully.

• Failure to reinstall the Yellow Cap on the fitting at the end of the Clear Sealant Hose

can result in sealant contacting your skin, clothing, and the vehicle’s interior. It can
also result in sealant contacting internal TIREFIT kit components which may cause
permanent damage to the kit.

• Immediately after injecting sealant and inflating the tire, drive the vehicle 5 mi (8 km)

or 10 minutes to ensure distribution of the TIREFIT Sealant within the tire. Do not
exceed 55 mph (88 km/h).

• Pull over and repeat Preparations for Jacking or Tire Repair.

• Turn the Mode Select knob to the Air Mode position

.

• Connect the Black Air Pump Hose to the valve stem.

• Check the pressure in the tire by reading the Pressure Gauge.

NOTE: If tire pressure is less than 19 psi, the tire is too badly damaged. Do not attempt
to drive the vehicle further. Call for assistance.

• If the tire pressure is 19 psi or higher, press the Power button

and inflate the tire

to the pressure indicated on the Tire and Loading Information label on the driver's
side door opening.

• Disconnect the TIREFIT kit from the valve stem and then reinstall the valve stem cap.

• 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.

WARNING!

Do not use TIREFIT or drive the vehicle under the following circumstances:

• If the cut or puncture in the tire tread is approximately 0.24 in (6 mm) or larger.

• If the tire has any sidewall damage.

• If the tire has any damage from driving with extremely low tire pressure.

• If the tire has any damage from driving on a flat tire.
