•
Take care not to allow the contents of Tire
Service Kit to come in contact with hair,
eyes, or clothing. Tire Service Kit is harm-
ful if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed
through the skin. It causes skin, eye, and
respiratory irritation. Flush immediately
with plenty of water if there is any contact
with eyes or skin. Change clothing as soon

Sealing A Tire With Tire Service Kit
(A) Whenever You Stop To Use Tire Service
Kit:
1. Pull over to a safe location and turn on the
vehicle’s Hazard Warning flashers.
2. Verify that the valve stem (on the wheel with
the deflated tire) is in a position that is near
to the ground. This will allow the Tire Service
Kit Hoses (6) and (7) to reach the valve stem
and keep the Tire Service Kit flat on the
ground. This will provide the best positioning
of the kit when injecting the sealant into the
deflated tire and running the air pump. Move
the vehicle as necessary to place the valve
stem in this position before proceeding.
3. Place the transmission in PARK (auto trans-
mission) or in Gear (manual transmission)
and turn Off the ignition.
4. Set the parking brake.
