IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

If the sealant (white fluid) does flow through the

Sealant Hose:

1. Continue to operate the pump

until sealant is no longer flowing

through hose (typically takes 30 - 70

seconds). As the sealant flows

through the Sealant Hose, the Pressure

Gauge can read as high as 70 psi (4.8 bar).

The Pressure Gauge will decrease quickly

from approximately 70 psi (4.8 bar) to the

actual tire pressure when the Sealant Bottle

is empty.

2. The pump will start to inject air into

the tire immediately after the

Sealant Bottle is empty. Continue to

operate the pump and inflate the tire

to the cold tire inflation pressure found on the

tire and loading information label located in

the driver-side door opening. Check the tire

pressure by looking at the Pressure Gauge.

If the tire does not inflate to at least 26 psi

(1.8 bar) within 15 minutes:



The tire is too badly damaged. Do not attempt to

drive the vehicle further. Call for assistance.

If the tire inflates to the recommended pressure or

is at least 26 psi (1.8 bar) within 15 minutes:

NOTE:

If the tire becomes overinflated, push the Deflation

Button to reduce the tire pressure to the recom

mended inflation pressure before continuing.

1. Push the Power Button to turn the

Tire Service Kit off.

2. Remove the speed limit label from

the Tire Service Kit and place sticker

on the steering wheel.

3. Immediately disconnect the Sealant Hose

from the valve stem, reinstall the cap on the

fitting at the end of the hose, and place the Tire

Service Kit in the vehicle storage location.

Drive Vehicle:

Immediately after injecting sealant and

inflating the tire, drive the vehicle 5 miles

(8 km) or 10 minutes to ensure

distribution of the Tire Service Kit Sealant

within the tire. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).

After Driving:



Pull over to a safe location and turn on the

vehicle’s Hazard Warning Flashers.



Verify that the valve stem (on the wheel with the

deflated tire) is in a position that is near to the

ground. This will allow the Tire Service Kit Hose

to reach the valve stem and keep the Tire

Service Kit flat on the ground. This will provide

the best positioning of the kit when injecting the

sealant into the deflated tire and running the air

pump. Move the vehicle as necessary to place

the valve stem in this position before

proceeding.



Place the transmission in PARK (P) and cycle the

ignition in the OFF position.



Apply the parking brake.

WARNING!

The Tire Service Kit is not a permanent flat tire

repair. Have the tire inspected and repaired or

replaced after using the Tire 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 an authorized dealer.

IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS

If the vehicle is overheating, it will need to be

serviced by an authorized dealer.
In any of the following situations, you can reduce

the potential for overheating by taking the

appropriate action.



On the highway — slow down.



In city traffic — while stopped, place the trans

mission in NEUTRAL (N), but do not increase

engine idle speed.

NOTE:

There are steps that you can take to slow down an

impending overheat condition:



If your Air Conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The

A/C system adds heat to the engine cooling

system and turning the A/C off can help remove

this heat.



You can also turn the temperature control to

maximum heat, the mode control to floor and

the blower control to high. This allows the heater

core to act as a supplement to the radiator and

aids in removing heat from the engine cooling

system.

CAUTION!

To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not

“top off” the fuel tank after filling.

WARNING!



Never have any smoking materials lit in or

near the vehicle when the fuel door is open or

the tank is being filled.



Never add fuel when the engine is running.

This is in violation of most state and federal

fire regulations and may cause the Malfunc

tion Indicator Light to turn on.



A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a

portable container that is inside of a vehicle.

You could be burned. Always place fuel

containers on the ground while filling.

WARNING!

You or others can be badly burned by hot engine

coolant (antifreeze) or steam from your radiator.

If you see or hear steam coming from under the

hood, do not open the hood until the radiator

has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling

system pressure cap when the radiator or

coolant bottle is hot.

304

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

MANUAL PARK RELEASE

To move the vehicle in cases where the

transmission will not shift out of PARK (P) (such as

a depleted battery), a Manual Park Release is

available.

Manual Park Release Access Cover

Follow These Steps To Activate The Manual Park

Release:
1. Apply firm pressure to the brake pedal while

seated in the driver’s seat.

2. Apply the parking brake, if possible.
3. Using a small screwdriver or similar tool,

remove the Manual Park Release access

cover, which is to the lower left of the steering

column.

4. The Manual Park Release access cover is

connected to a red tether strap. Pull the tether

strap out as far as it will go, then release it. The

transmission should now be in NEUTRAL (N),

allowing the vehicle to be moved.

Tether Strap

NOTE:

When the lever is locked in the released position,

the tether will remain outside of the trim panel and

the access cover cannot be reinstalled.
5. Release the parking brake only when the

vehicle is securely connected to a tow vehicle.

CAUTION!

Driving with a hot cooling system could damage

your vehicle. If temperature gauge reads “H”,

pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle

with the air conditioner turned off until the

pointer drops back into the normal range. If the

pointer remains on the “H”, turn the engine off

immediately, and call for service.

WARNING!

You should be seated in the driver’s seat with

your foot firmly placed on the brake pedal to

maintain control of the vehicle before activating

the Manual Park Release. If possible, you should

apply the parking brake. Activating the Manual

Park Release will allow your vehicle to roll away if

it is not secured or properly connected to a tow

vehicle. Activating the Manual Park Release on

an unsecured vehicle could lead to serious

injury or death for those in or around the vehicle.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

305

To Reset The Manual Park Release:
1. Apply firm pressure to the brake pedal while

seated in the driver’s seat.

2. Pull the tether strap out again, then release it.
3. Allow the tether to retract with the lever back

to its original position.

4. Verify that the transmission is in PARK (P).
5. Confirm that the tether has retracted fully

and reinstall the access cover. If the access

cover cannot be reinstalled, repeat

steps 1 through 4.

FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE

If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or

snow, it can often be moved using a rocking

motion. Turn the steering wheel right and left to

clear the area around the front wheels. Then shift

back and forth between DRIVE (D) and REVERSE

(R) while gently pressing the accelerator.

NOTE:

Shifts between DRIVE and REVERSE can only be

achieved at wheel speeds of 5 mph (8 km/h) or

less. Whenever the transmission remains in

NEUTRAL (N) for more than two seconds, you must

press the brake pedal to engage DRIVE or

REVERSE.
Use the least amount of accelerator pedal

pressure that will maintain the rocking motion

without spinning the wheels or racing the engine.

NOTE:

Push the ESC OFF button to place the Electronic

Stability Control (ESC) system in “Partial Off”

mode, before rocking the vehicle

page 225.

Once the vehicle has been freed, push the ESC OFF

button again to restore “ESC On” mode.

WARNING!

Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces

generated by excessive wheel speeds may

cause damage, or even failure, of the axle and

tires. A tire could explode and injure someone.

Do not spin your vehicle's wheels faster than

30 mph (48 km/h) or for longer than

30 seconds continuously without stopping when

you are stuck and do not let anyone near a

spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.

CAUTION!



Racing the engine or spinning the wheels may

lead to transmission overheating and failure.

Allow the engine to idle with the transmission

in NEUTRAL for at least one minute after every

five rocking-motion cycles. This will minimize

overheating and reduce the risk of transmis

sion failure during prolonged efforts to free a

stuck vehicle.



When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by shifting

between DRIVE and REVERSE, do not spin the

wheels faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or

drivetrain damage may result.



Revving the engine or spinning the wheels too

fast may lead to transmission overheating and

failure. It can also damage the tires. Do not

spin the wheels above 30 mph (48 km/h)

while in gear (no transmission shifting

occurring).

306

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
