TIRE SERVICE KIT — IF
EQUIPPED
Description
If a tire is punctured, you can make an emer
-
gency repair using the Tire Service Kit located
in the rear storage area under the load plat
-
form.
1. Stop the vehicle in a position where you
can repair the tire safely. You should be as
far as possible from the side of the road,
and in a position that is not dangerous for
oncoming traffic. Turn on the hazard
warning flashers, remove the safety
triangle from the luggage compartment,
and place it at a suitable distance from the
vehicle to make other drivers aware of
your presence.
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
repair kit hoses to reach the valve stem
and keep the tire service kit flat on the
ground.
3. Place the gear selector in PARK (P).
4. Apply the electric park brake and turn the
engine OFF.
To access the Tire Service Kit, open the liftgate
and lift the load floor.
