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 theTire Service Kit.
Do not useTire 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.
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.
If the wheel has any damage.
If you are unsure of the condition of the
tire or the wheel.
KeepTire Service Kit away from open
flames or heat sources.
A looseTire Service Kit thrown forward in
a collision or hard stop could endanger the
occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the
Tire Service Kit in the place provided. Failure
to follow these warnings can result in
injuries that are serious or fatal to you, your
passengers, and others around you.
Take care not to allow the contents ofTire
Service Kit to come in contact with hair,
eyes, or clothing.Tire Service Kit sealant is
harmful if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed
through the skin. It causes skin, eye, and
respiratory irritation. Flush immediately
with plenty of water if there is any contact
with eyes or skin. Change clothing as soon
as possible, if there is any contact with
clothing.
Tire Service Kit Sealant solution contains
latex. In case of an allergic reaction or rash,
consult a physician immediately. KeepTire
Service Kit out of reach of children. If
swallowed, rinse mouth immediately with
plenty of water and drink plenty of water.
Do not induce vomiting! Consult a physician
immediately.
To use theTire Service Kit, proceed as
follows:
1. Apply the electric park brake.
2. Connect the hose to the sealant
cartridge containing the sealing liquid.
Unscrew the tire valve cap, take out the
filler tube and tighten the fitting on the
tire valve.
3. Make sure the power switch of the
compressor is in the off position (O).
4. Insert the plug into the power outlet in
the center console, then start the engine.

5. Start the compressor by placing the
power switch in the on position (I).
6. Inflate the tire to a pressure of at
least 32 psi (2.2 bar). Refer to “Tires” in
“Servicing And Maintenance” for more
information. In order to obtain a more
precise reading, check the pressure value
on pressure gauge with the compressor
off.
7. If the pressure is not at least 26 psi
(1.8 bar) after 15 minutes, disengage the
compressor from the valve and power
outlet.Then, move the vehicle forwards
approximately five tire turns in order to
distribute the sealing fluid inside the tire
evenly, and then repeat the inflation
operation.
8. Drive the vehicle for about 5 miles
(8 km), stop, engage the electric park
brake, and recheck the tire pressure.
9. If the pressure is less than 19 psi
(1.3 bar),
DO NOT
drive the vehicle, and
see an authorized dealer.
10. If a pressure value of at least 19 psi
(1.3 bar) is detected, restore the correct
pressure (with engine running and
electric park brake engaged), and drive
immediately with great care to an
authorized dealer.
Warning!
Tire Service Kit is not a permanent flat tire
repair. Have the tire inspected and repaired
or replaced after usingTire Service Kit. Do
not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) until the tire is
repaired or replaced. Failure to follow this
warning can result in injuries that are serious
or fatal to you, your passengers, and others
around you. Have the tire checked as soon as
possible at your authorized dealer.
11. Apply the adhesive label from the
sealant bottle where it can be easily seen
by the driver as a reminder that the tire
has been treated with aTire Service Kit,
as well as not to exceed the speed
restriction for the treated tire.
Warning!
Do not adhere the speed restriction sticker
to the padded area on the steering wheel.
Adhering the speed restriction sticker to the
padded area on the steering wheel is
dangerous because the air bag may not
operate (deploy) normally resulting in
serious injury. In addition, do not adhere the
sticker to areas where warning lights or the
speedometer cannot be viewed.
Note:
Only use original sealant
cartridges, which can be purchased at an
authorized dealer.
Checking And Restoring Tire Pressure
The compressor can also be used to
check and, if necessary, restore the tire
pressure.
Proceed as follows:
1. Make sure that the power switch is in
the O (off) position.
2. Connect the hose directly to the valve
on the tire to be inflated.
3. Insert the plug into the socket in the
passenger compartment or in the cargo
area and start the engine.
4. Start the compressor by putting the
power switch to I (on). As soon as the
correct pressure is reached, put the
power switch to O (off).

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
If the tire is over inflated, reduce the
pressure by pushing the PSI/BAR button
and releasing it when the correct
pressure is reached.
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.
Warning!
Failure to follow this jump-starting
procedure could result in personal injury or
property damage due to battery explosion.
Caution!
Do not use a portable battery booster pack
or any other booster source with a system
voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to
the battery, starter motor, alternator or
electrical system may occur.
Remote Battery Connection Posts
The remote posts of the battery for jump
starting can be found inside the engine
compartment.The battery itself is
located in the luggage compartment.
The negative terminal (-) is positioned
next to the passenger side hood lock.
Warning!
Do not connect the jumper cable to the
negative (-) post of the discharged battery.
The resulting electrical spark could cause
the battery to explode and could result in
serious injury. Only use the specific ground
point, do not use any other exposed metal
parts.
The positive post (+) can be accessed by
removing the cover, and opening the
protective flap.

To carry out the operation, you need to
have the correct cables to connect to the
battery of another vehicle or a portable
battery booster pack to the remote posts
of the discharged battery. Usually, these
cables have terminals at the ends and are
identified by different sheath colors (red
= positive, black = negative).
Jump Starting Procedure
Warning!
Failure to follow this jump-starting
procedure could result in personal injury or
property damage due to battery explosion.
Caution!
Failure to follow these procedures could result
in damage to the charging system of the
booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.
Preparation For Jump Starting:
1. Firmly apply the parking brake, place
the gear selector to PARK, then cycle the
ignition to OFF.
2. Turn off all electrical features in the
vehicle.
3. If using another vehicle to jump start
the battery, park the vehicle within the
jumper cables reach, apply the parking
brake and make sure the ignition is OFF.
Warning!
Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as
this could establish a ground connection and
personal injury could result.
Cable Connection
Proceed as follows to perform a jump
starting procedure:
1. Connect the positive (+) end of the
jumper cable to the positive (+) post of
the vehicle with the discharged battery
2. Connect the opposite end of the
positive (+) jumper cable to the positive
(+) post of the booster battery.
3. Connect the negative end (-) of the
jumper cable to the negative (-) post of
the booster battery.
4. Connect the opposite end of the
negative (-) jumper cable to the remote
negative (-) post of the vehicle with the
discharged battery.
Warning!
Do not connect the jumper cable to the
negative (-) post of the discharged battery.
The resulting electrical spark could cause
the battery to explode and could result in
serious injury. Only use the specific ground
point, do not use any other exposed metal
parts.
5. 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. If
using a portable battery booster pack,
before starting the vehicle, wait a few
seconds after completing the connection.
