Changing a Flat Tire  
If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually  
to reduce speed. Then, stop in a safe place. Replace the flat tire with a compact  
spare tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the full-size tire repaired or  
replaced.  
1Changing a Flat Tire  
Follow compact spare precautions:  
Periodically check the tire pressure of the compact  
spare. It should be set to the specified pressure.  
Specified Pressure: 60 psi (420 kPa, 4.2 kgf/cm2)  
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level, non-slippery surface and apply the parking brake.  
When driving with the compact spare tire, keep the  
vehicle speed under 50 mph (80 km/h). Replace with  
a full-size tire as soon as possible.  
Continuously variable transmission models  
2. Put the transmission into (P  
.
.
Manual transmission models  
The compact spare tire and wheel in your vehicle are  
specifically for this model. Do not use them with  
another vehicle. Do not use another type of compact  
spare tire or wheel with your vehicle.  
2. Put the transmission into (R  
All models  
3. Turn on the hazard warning lights and set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF.  
Do not mount tire chains on a compact spare tire.  
If a chain-mounted front tire goes flat, remove one of  
the full-size rear tires and replace it with the compact  
spare tire. Remove the flat front tire and replace it  
with the full-size tire that was removed from the rear.  
Mount the tire chains on the front tire.  
NOTICE  
Do not use the jack if it doesn't work properly. Call  
your dealer or a professional towing service.

Temporarily Repairing a Flat Tire  
If the tire has a large cut or is otherwise severely damaged, you will need to have the  
vehicle towed. If the tire only has a small puncture, from a nail for instance, you can  
use the temporary tire repair kit so that you can drive to the nearest service station  
for a more permanent repair.  
1Temporarily Repairing a Flat Tire  
The kit should not be used in the following situations.  
Instead, contact a dealer or roadside assistance to  
have the vehicle towed.

•
The tire sealant has expired.  
More than one tire is punctured.  
The puncture or cut is larger than 5/32 inch (4 mm).  
The tire side wall is damaged or the puncture is  
outside the contact area.  
If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually  
to reduce speed. Then, stop in a safe place.  
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level, non-slippery surface and apply the parking brake.  
2. Put the transmission into (R

Until the sealant injection is complete, the pressure  
shown on the pressure gauge will appear higher than  
actual. After the sealant injection is complete the  
pressure will drop and then begin to rise again as the  
tire is inflated with air. This is normal. To accurately  
measure the air pressure using the gauge, turn the air  
compressor off only after the sealant injection is  
complete.

Reasons for the indicator to come on or blink  
NOTICE  
A tire pressure is significantly low, or the TPMS has not been calibrated.  
If there is a problem with the TPMS, the indicator blinks for about one  
minute, and then stays on.  
Driving on an extremely underinflated tire can cause  
it to overheat. An overheated tire can fail. Always  
inflate your tires to the prescribed level.  
If the compact spare tire* is installed, the indicator will either come on or  
it will first blink for about one minute, then stay on.  
What to do when the indicator comes on  
■
Drive carefully and avoid abrupt cornering and hard braking.  
Stop your vehicle in a safe place. Check the tire pressure and adjust the  
pressure to the specified level. The specified tire pressure is on a label on  
the driver side doorjamb.  
u Calibrate the TPMS after the tire pressure is adjusted.  
2 TPMS Calibration P. 539  
If the compact spare tire* causes the indicator to come on, change the
