Tire Service Kit Usage Precautions
• Replace the Tire Service Kit Sealant Bottle
prior to the expiration date (printed at the
lower right hand corner on the bottle label)
to assure optimum operation of the sys-
tem. Refer to “Sealant Bottle Replace-
ment” in this section.
• The Sealant Bottle is a one tire application
use and needs to be replaced after each
use. Always replace these components im-
mediately at your original equipment ve-
hicle dealer.
• When the Tire Service Kit sealant is in a
liquid form, clean water, and a damp cloth
will remove the material from the vehicle
or tire and wheel components. Once the
sealant dries, it can easily be peeled off
and properly discarded.
• For optimum performance, make sure the
valve stem on the wheel is free of debris
before connecting the Tire Service Kit.
• You can use the Tire Service Kit air pump
to inflate bicycle tires. The kit also comes
with two needles, located in the Accessory
Storage Compartment (on the bottom of
the air pump) for inflating sport balls,
rafts, or similar inflatable items. However,
use only the Air Pump and make sure the
Mode Select Knob is in the Air Mode when
inflating such items to avoid injecting
sealant into them. The Tire Service Kit
Sealant is only intended to seal punctures
less than 1/4 inch (6 mm) diameter in the
tread of your vehicle.
• Do not lift or carry the Tire Service Kit by
the hoses.
WARNING!
• Do not attempt to seal a tire on the side
of the vehicle closest to traffic. Pull far
enough off the road to avoid the danger
of being hit when using the Tire Service
Kit.
• Do not use Tire Service Kit or drive the
vehicle under the following circum-
stances:
• If the puncture in the tire tread is
approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) or
larger.
• If the tire has any sidewall damage.
• If the tire has any damage from
driving with extremely low tire pres-
sure.
• If the tire has any damage from
driving on a flat tire.
• If the wheel has any damage.
• If you are unsure of the condition of
the tire or the wheel.
• Keep Tire Service Kit away from open
flames or heat source.
• A loose Tire Service Kit thrown forward in
a collision or hard stop could endanger
the occupants of the vehicle. Always
