Tighten the lug nuts NOTE Introduction Certain models are equipped with a tire sealing system that enables you to temporarily seal a hole in the tread surface and re-inflate a flat tire, or to adjust a tire's inflation pressure. The system consists of an air compressor, a container for the sealing compound, wiring to connect the system to the vehicle's electrical system via one of the 12-volt sockets, and a hose used to connect the system to the tire's inflation valve. The 12-volt sockets are located in the front tunnel console and on the rear side of the center console in the rear seat, see page 189. 3. Install the wheel nuts and tighten handtight. Using the lug wrench, tighten crosswise until all nuts are snug. 4. Lower the vehicle to the ground and alternately tighten the bolts crosswise to 62 ft. lbs. (85 Nm). 5. Install the wheel cap (where applicable). • • The tire sealing system is only intended to seal holes on the tire's tread area, not the sidewall. Tires with large holes or tears cannot be repaired with the tire sealing system. 06 256
