WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES • Immediately disconnect the Sealant Hose (6) from the valve stem, reinstall the cap on the fitting at the end of the hose, and place the TIREFIT kit in the vehicle storage location. Quickly proceed to (D) "Drive Vehicle". (D) 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 TIREFIT Sealant within the tire. Do not exceed 55 mph (88 km/h). (E) After Driving: • Pull over to a safe location. Refer to "Whenever You Stop to Use TIREFIT" before continuing. • Turn the Mode Select Knob (5) to the Air Mode position. • Uncoil the power plug and insert the plug into the vehicle's 12 Volt power outlet. • Uncoil the Air Pump Hose (7) (black in color) and screw the fitting at the end of hose (7) onto the valve stem. • Check the pressure in the tire by reading the Pressure Gauge (3). • If tire pressure is less than 19 psi (1.3 Bar) , the tire is too badly damaged. Do not attempt to drive the vehicle further. Call for assistance. • If the tire pressure is 19 psi (1.3 bar) or higher: • Press the Power Button (4) to turn on TIREFIT and inflate the tire to the pressure indicated on the tire and loading information label on the driver-side door opening. NOTE: If the tire becomes over-inflated, press the Deflation Button to reduce the tire pressure to the recommended inflation pressure before continuing. • Disconnect the TIREFIT kit from the valve stem, reinstall the cap on the valve stem and unplug from 12 Volt outlet. • 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 dealer or tire service center. • Replace the Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant Hose (6) assembly at your authorized dealer as soon as possible. Refer to "(F) Sealant Bottle and Hose Replacement." NOTE: When having the tire serviced, advise the authorized dealer or service center that the tire has been sealed using the TIREFIT service kit. (F) Sealant Bottle And Hose Replacement: • Uncoil the Sealant Hose (6) (clear in color). • Locate the round Sealant Bottle release button in the recessed area under the sealant bottle. • Press the Sealant Bottle release button. The Sealant Bottle (1) will pop up. Remove the bottle and dispose of it accordingly. • Clean any remaining sealant from the TIREFIT housing. 87
