WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES 169 Sealing tire with TIREFIT 1. Set the parking brake and turn on the hazard warning flashers. 2. Move the transmission selector lever to the PARK position and turn off the engine. 3. Remove the TIREFIT kit and electric air pump from the area below the cargo compartment carpet. 4. Open flap (2) on the electric air pump. 5. Pull the power plug (4) and air hose (5) along with the pressure gauge out of the air pump housing. 6. Screw the air hose (5) onto the hose connection on the TIREFIT sealant bottle (1). 7. Holding the sealant bottle by the top, insert it downwards into the recess (3) on the air pump. 8. Unscrew the valve cap from the valve on the deflated tire. 9. Screw the filler hose from the sealant bottle on the tire valve. 10. Insert the power plug (4) into the power point on the instrument panel. 11. Turn the ignition key to the ON/RUN position. 12. Press the switch on the air pump to 1. The air pump should start to inflate the tire. 13. After five minutes, the tire should be inflated to at least 26 psi (180 kPa) on the pressure gauge. 14. If the tire doesn't inflate to this level, press the air pump switch to 0, disconnect the TIREFIT system from the tire, and drive the vehicle back and forth approximately 30 feet (9.1 m) to distribute the sealant more evenly within the tire. 15. Attach the air pump hose directly to the tire, press the switch to 1, and inflate the tire again. NOTE: If a tire pressure of 26 psi (180 kPa) is not reached after five minutes, the tire is too badly damaged. Do not attempt to drive the vehicle further, and call for assistance. 6
