WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES • Secure the tire, jack (base of jack faces rear of vehicle), and tools in their proper locations. TIREFIT Instructions 1 TIREFIT will temporarily seal small punctures up to 4 in.(6 mm) in the tire tread allowing you to drive your vehicle up to 100 mi (160 km) with a maximum speed of 55 mph (88 km/hr). TIREFIT can be used in outside temperatures down to approximately -4°F (-20°C). NOTE: Do not remove foreign objects (e.g., screws or nails) from the tire. The TIREFIT kit is located in the trunk. • Verify that the valve stem is close to the ground. • Put on the gloves from the TIREFIT Kit Accessory Storage Compartment. • Turn the Mode Select knob to the Sealant Mode position . • Remove the Yellow Cap from the fitting at the end of the Clear Sealant Hose. • Remove the valve stem cap and screw the fitting at the end of the Clear Sealant Hose onto the valve stem. • Insert the Power Plug into the vehicle's 12-volt power outlet. . The sealant (white fluid) will • Start the engine and then press the Power button flow from the Sealant Bottle through the Clear Sealant Hose and into the tire. NOTE: • Sealant may leak out through the puncture in the tire. • If the sealant (white fluid) does not flow within 0 - 10 seconds through the Clear Sealant Hose: to turn OFF the TIREFIT kit. • Press the Power button • Disconnect the Clear Sealant Hose and make sure the valve stem is free of debris. • Repeat previous steps to verify sealant will flow, making sure the Mode Select . knob is in Sealant Mode • Continue to operate the pump until sealant is no longer flowing through the hose (typically takes 30 - 70 seconds). As the sealant flows through the Clear Sealant Hose, the pressure gauge can read as high as 70 psi. The pressure gauge will decrease quickly from approximately 70 psi to the actual tire pressure when the sealant bottle is empty. • 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 pressure indicated on the Tire and Loading Information label on the driver's side door opening. Check the tire pressure by looking at the pressure gauge. NOTE: If the tire does not inflate to at least 26 psi pressure 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 pressure within to turn off the TIREFIT kit. 15 minutes, press the Power button 47
