NOTE:  
Immobilizer system  
Keys  
If the immobilizer/keyless push start sys-  
tem warning light blinks or comes on, a  
message may be shown on the information  
display.  
This system is designed to help prevent  
vehicle theft by electronically disabling the  
engine starting system.  
EXAMPLE  
The engine can be started only with your  
vehicle’s original immobilizer ignition key  
or keyless push start system remote con-  
troller, which has an electronic identifica-  
tion code programmed in it. The key or  
remote controller communicates the identi-  
fication code to the vehicle when the igni-  
tion switch is turned to “ON” position or the  
engine switch is pressed to change the  
ignition mode to “ON”. If you need to make  
spare keys or remote controllers, see an  
authorized SUZUKI dealer. The vehicle  
must be programmed with the correct iden-  
tification code for the spare. A key made  
by an ordinary locksmith will not work.  
For vehicles without a keyless push  
start system  
If this light blinks, turn the ignition switch to  
“LOCK” position, and then turn it back to  
“ON” position.  
If the light still blinks after the ignition  
switch is turned back to “ON” position,  
there may be something wrong with your  
key or with the immobilizer system. Ask an  
authorized SUZUKI dealer to have the sys-  
tem inspected.  
54G489  
For vehicles with a keyless push start  
system  
Your vehicle comes with a pair of identical  
keys. Keep one of the keys as a spare key  
in a safe place. One key can open all of the  
locks on the vehicle.  
If this light blinks, change the ignition mode  
to “LOCK” (OFF), and then change it back  
to “ON”. Also refer to “If the master warn-  
ing indicator light blinks and the engine  
cannot be started” in “Starting engine  
(vehicle with keyless push start system) (if  
equipped)” in “OPERATING YOUR VEHI-  
CLE” section.  
If the light still blinks after the ignition mode  
is changed back to “ON”, there may be  
something wrong with your key or with the  
immobilizer system. Ask an authorized  
SUZUKI dealer to have the system  
inspected.  
The key identification number is stamped  
on a metal tag provided with the keys or on  
the keys. Keep the tag in a safe place. If  
you lose your keys, you will need this num-  
ber to have new keys made. Write the  
number below for your future reference.  
80JM122  
If the immobilizer/keyless push start sys-  
tem warning light blinks when the ignition  
switch is in “ON” position or the ignition  
mode is “ON”, the engine will not start.

The immobilizer/keyless push start system  
warning light may also blinks if the remote  
controller is not in the vehicle when you  
close the door or attempt to start the  
engine.  
This immobilizer system, model I68P0 (for  
vehicles without a keyless push start sys-  
tem) and P74P0 (for vehicles with a key-  
less push start system) are in compliance  
with the essential requirements and other

• The pinching prevention function  
does not operate while you are  
holding the window switch in UP  
position.  
• The pinching prevention function  
may not detect an object caught in  
the window just before the window  
is fully closed.  
The driver’s window is equipped with a  
pinching prevention function. This function  
detects a foreign object that is caught in  
the window as it is being closed by AUTO-  
UP feature, which allows you to close the  
window without holding the window switch  
in UP position, and stops the window from  
closing to prevent damage.  
NOTE:  
WARNING  
Even if you cannot close the window by the  
AUTO-UP feature because there may be  
something wrong with the pinching preven-  
tion function, you can close the window by  
holding the window switch in UP position.  
If you drive in extreme off-road condition,  
the pinching prevention function may oper-  
ate accidentally because the window  
reacts to vehicle jolting.  
To avoid injuring an occupant by win-  
dow entrapment, check that no part  
of the occupant’s body such as  
hands or head is in the path of the  
electric window when closing it.  
This function may not detect an  
object due to the size, hardness, or  
position of the object being caught in  
the closing window.  
WARNING  
Whenever you disconnect and recon-  
nect the lead-acid battery or replace  
the fuse, the pinching prevention  
function needs to be initialized.  
The pinching prevention function will  
not be activated until the initialization  
is completed.

WARNING  
• Never allow persons to ride in the  
cargo area of a vehicle. In the event  
of an accident, there is a much  
greater risk of injury for persons  
who are not riding in a seat with  
their seat belt securely fastened.  
• Seat belts should always be  
adjusted as follows:  
– the lap portion of the belt should  
be worn low across the pelvis,  
not across the waist.  
– the shoulder straps should be  
worn on the outside shoulder  
only, and never under the arm.  
– the shoulder straps should be  
away from your face and neck,  
but not falling off your shoulder.  
(Continued)  
(Continued)  
65D231S  
• Seat belts should never be worn  
with the straps twisted and should  
be adjusted as tightly as is com-  
fortable to provide the protection  
for which they have been designed.  
A slack belt will provide less pro-  
tection than a snug belt.  
WARNING  
Wear your seat belts at all times.  
WARNING  
• Check that each seat belt buckle is  
inserted into the proper buckle  
catch. It is possible to cross the  
buckles in the rear seat.  
An air bag supplements or adds to  
the frontal crash protection offered  
by seat belts. The driver and all pas-  
sengers must be properly restrained  
by fastening seat belts at all times,  
whether or not an air bag is mounted  
at their seating position, to minimize  
the risk of severe injury or death in  
the event of a crash.

• Never use the same seat belt for  
more than one occupant and never  
attach a seat belt over an infant or  
child being held on an occupant’s  
lap. Such seat belt use could cause  
serious injury in the event of an  
accident.  
• For children, if the shoulder belt  
irritates the neck or face, move the  
child closer to the center of the  
vehicle.  
as low as possible  
across the hips  
• Avoid contamination of seat belt  
webbing by polishes, oils, chemi-  
cals, and particularly battery acid.  
Cleaning may safely be carried out  
using mild soap and water.  
• Do not insert any items such as  
coins and clips into the seat belt  
buckles, and be careful not to spill  
liquids into these parts. If foreign  
materials get into  
buckle, the seat belt may not work  
properly.  
• All seatbacks should always be in  
an upright position when driving,  
or seat belt effectiveness may be  
reduced. Seat belts are designed to  
offer maximum protection when  
seatbacks are in the upright posi-  
tion.  
• Periodically inspect seat belt  
assemblies for excessive wear and  
damage. Seat belts should be  
replaced if webbing becomes  
frayed, contaminated or damaged  
in any way. It is essential to replace  
the entire seat belt assembly after it  
has been worn in a severe impact,  
even if damage to the assembly is  
not obvious.

(Continued)  
• Pregnant women should use seat  
belts, although specific recommen-  
dations about driving should be  
made by the woman’s medical advi-  
sor. Remember that the lap portion  
of the belt should be worn as low  
as possible across the hips, as  
shown in the illustration.  
• Children aged 12 and under should  
ride properly restrained in the rear  
seat.  
• Infants and small children should  
never be transported unless they  
are properly restrained. Restraint  
systems for infants and small chil-  
dren can be purchased locally and  
should be used. Check that the  
system you purchase meets appli-  
cable safety standards. Read and  
follow all the directions provided  
by the manufacturer.  
• Do not fasten your seat belt over  
hard or breakable objects in your  
pockets or on your clothing. If an  
accident occurs, objects such as  
glasses, pens, etc. under the seat  
belt can cause injury.

Driver’s seat belt reminder  
Front passenger’s seat belt reminder  
The front passenger’s seat belt reminder  
will activate only when there is a passen-  
ger sitting in the front seat. In some situa-  
tions, however, such as when you place  
heavy objects in the front seat, the seat  
belt reminder can be activated as if a pas-  
senger was present. The front passenger’s  
seat belt reminder works in the same man-  
ner as the driver’s seat belt reminder.  
The reminder will be automatically can-  
celed when the rear seat belt is buckled or  
the ignition switch is turned off, or the  
engine switch is pressed to change the  
ignition mode to “LOCK” (OFF).  
If the driver’s seat belt remains unbuckled  
when the ignition switch is turned to “ON”  
position or the engine switch is pressed to  
change the ignition mode to “ON”, the  
reminder works as follows:  
1) The driver’s seat belt reminder light will  
come on. The front passenger’s seat  
belt reminder light will also come on if a  
front passenger does not fasten his/her  
seat belt.  
2) After the vehicle’s speed has reached  
about 15 km/h, the driver’s seat belt  
reminder light will blink and a buzzer  
will sound for about 95 seconds.  
3) The reminder light will remain on until  
the driver’s seat belt is buckled.  
If the driver has buckled his or her seat belt  
and later unbuckles the seat belt, the  
reminder system will be activated from  
Step 1) or 2) according to the vehicle’s  
speed. When the vehicle’s speed is less  
than 15 km/h, the reminder will start from  
Step 1). When the vehicle’s speed is more  
than 15 km/h, the reminder will start from  
Step 2).  
The reminder will be automatically can-  
celed when the driver’s seat belt is buckled  
or the ignition switch is turned off, or the  
engine switch is pressed to change the  
ignition mode to “LOCK” (OFF).  
Rear passenger’s seat belt reminder  
If a rear seat belt is not fastened when the  
engine is started, all the rear passenger’s  
seat belt reminder lights will come on for  
about 35 seconds and then go out. The  
reminder fades when the seat belt is fas-  
tened.  
The rear passenger’s seat belt reminder  
lights will also come on for about 35 sec-  
onds in the following conditions.  
• If a seat belt is unfastened when the  
vehicle speed is less than 15 km/h, the  
corresponding light will come on.  
• If a seat belt is unfastened when the  
vehicle speed is more than 15 km/h, the  
corresponding light will come on and a  
buzzer will sound.

Periodically check if the seat belts work  
properly and are not damaged. Check the  
webbing, buckles, latch plates, retractors,  
anchorages and guide loops. Replace any  
seat belts which do not work properly or  
are damaged.  
Adjust the shoulder anchor height so that  
the shoulder belt rides on the center of the  
outboard shoulder. To move upward, slide  
the anchor up. To move downward, slide  
the anchor down while pulling the lock  
knob out. After adjustment, check that the  
anchor is securely locked.  
NOTICE  
When you move a seatback, make  
sure the belt webbing is hooked in  
the seat belt hangers so the seat  
belts are not caught by the seatback,  
seat hinge, or seat latch. This helps  
prevent damage to the belt system.  
WARNING  
Check that the shoulder belt is posi-  
tioned on the center of the outside  
shoulder. The belt should be away  
from your face and neck, but not fall-  
ing off your shoulder. Misadjustment  
of the belt could reduce the effective-  
ness of the seat belt in a crash.

BEFORE DRIVING  
WARNING  
that the restraint system you select meets  
applicable safety standards.  
All child restraint systems are designed to  
be secured in vehicle seats either by seat  
belts (lap belts or the lap portion of lap-  
shoulder belts) or by special rigid lower  
anchor bars built into the seat. Whenever  
possible, SUZUKI recommends that child  
restraint systems be installed on the rear  
seat. According to accident statistics, chil-  
dren are safer when properly restrained in  
rear seating positions than in front seating  
positions.  
When using a child restraint system  
on the front passenger’s seat, the  
front passenger’s air bag system  
must be deactivated; otherwise  
deployment of the front passenger’s  
air bag could result in the death or  
serious injury of the child.  
WARNING  
If you install a child restraint system  
in the rear seat, slide the front seat  
far enough forward so that the child’s  
feet do not touch the front seatback.  
This will help avoid injury to the child  
in the event of an accident.

Whenever possible, SUZUKI recom-  
mends that child restraint systems be  
installed on the rear seat. According to  
accident statistics, children are safer when  
properly restrained in rear seating posi-  
tions than in front seating positions.  
• If you must install the child restraint sys-  
tem on the front passenger’s seat, follow  
instructions below.  
– Deactivate the front passenger’s front  
air bag by the front passenger air bag  
deactivation system.  
– Slide the seat to the most rear position  
by the seat position adjustment lever.

WARNING  
Some child restraint systems require the  
use of a top tether strap. Top tether anchor-  
age brackets are provided in your vehicle at  
the locations shown in the illustrations.  
The number of the top tether anchorage  
brackets provided in your vehicle depends  
on the vehicle specification. Install the child  
restraint system as follows:  
Do not attach the child restraint top  
tether strap to the luggage restraint  
loops (if equipped). Incorrectly  
attached top tether strap will reduce  
the intended effectiveness of the  
child restraint system.  
When you put your child in the child  
restraint system, appropriately slide the  
front seat forward not to touch a part of  
your child’s body.  
NOTICE  
When installing a child restraint sys-  
tem to the rear seat, adjust the front  
seat position so that the front seat  
does not interfere with the child  
restraint system.

EXAMPLE  
To determine if your vehicle is equipped  
with a seat belt pretensioner system at the  
front or rear seating positions, check the  
label on the seat belt at the bottom part. If  
the letters “p” and/or “PRE” appear as illus-  
trated, your vehicle is equipped with the  
seat belt pretensioner system. You can use  
the pretensioner seat belts in the same  
manner as ordinary seat belts.  
Seat belt pretensioner system  
EXAMPLE  
and/or  
Read this section and “Supplemental  
restraint system (air bags)” section to learn  
more about the pretensioner system.  
The seat belt pretensioner system works  
with the supplemental restraint system (air  
bags). The crash sensors and the elec-  
tronic controller of the air bag system also  
control the seat belt pretensioners. The  
pretensioners are triggered only when  
there is a frontal or side crash severe  
enough to trigger the air bags and the seat  
belts are fastened. For precautions and  
general information including servicing the  
pretensioner system, refer to “Supplemen-  
tal restraint system (air bags)” section in  
addition to this “Seat belt pretensioner sys-  
tem” section, and follow all those precau-  
tions.

WARNING  
This section describes your SUZUKI  
vehicle’s seat belt pretensioner sys-  
tem. Read and follow all these  
instructions carefully to minimize  
your risk of severe injury or death.  
NOTICE  
When installing a child restraint sys-  
tem to the rear seat, adjust the front  
seat position so that the front seat  
does not interfere with the child  
restraint system.  
The pretensioner is located in each front  
seat belt retractor and each rear seat belt  
retractor in outboard seating position. The  
pretensioner tightens the seat belt so the  
belt fits the occupant’s body more snugly in  
the event of a frontal or side crash. The  
retractors will remain locked after the pre-  
tensioners are activated. Upon activation,  
2-47

than 10 seconds, or comes on while driv-  
ing, the pretensioner system or the air bag  
system may not work properly. Have both  
systems inspected by an authorized  
SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.  
The driver and all passengers must be  
properly restrained by fastening seat belts  
at all times, whether or not a pretensioner  
is equipped at their seating position, to  
minimize the risk of severe injury or death  
in the event of a crash.  
Service on or around the pretensioner sys-  
tem components or wiring must be per-  
formed only by an authorized SUZUKI  
dealer who is specially trained. Improper  
service could result in unintended activa-  
tion of pretensioners or could render the  
pretensioner inoperative. Either of these  
two conditions may result in personal  
injury.  
Sit fully back in the seat; sit up straight; do  
not lean forward or sideways. Adjust the  
belt so the lap portion of the belt is worn  
low across the pelvis, not across the waist.  
Please refer to “Seat adjustment” section  
and the instructions and precautions about  
the seat belts in this “Seat belts and child  
restraint systems” section for details on  
proper seat and seat belt adjustments.  
To prevent damage or unintended activa-  
tion of the pretensioners, check that the  
lead-acid battery is disconnected and the  
ignition switch has been in “LOCK” position  
or the ignition mode has been “LOCK”  
(OFF) for at least 90 seconds before per-  
forming any electrical service work on your  
SUZUKI vehicle.  
Please note that the pretensioners along  
with the air bags will activate in severe  
frontal or side crashes. They are not  
designed to activate in rear impacts, roll-  
overs, or minor frontal side crashes. The  
pretensioners can be activated only once.  
If the pretensioners are activated (that is, if  
the air bags are activated), have the pre-  
tensioner system serviced by an autho-  
rized SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.  
Do not touch pretensioner system compo-  
nents or wiring. The wires are wrapped  
with yellow tape or yellow tubing, and the  
couplers are yellow. When scrapping your  
SUZUKI vehicle, ask an authorized  
SUZUKI dealer, body repair shop, or scrap  
yard for assistance.

WARNING  
63J030  
NEVER use a rearward facing child  
restraint on a seat protected by an  
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH  
or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD  
can occur.  
If AIR BAG light on the instrument cluster

work properly. Have the air bag system  
inspected by an authorized SUZUKI dealer  
as soon as possible.  
NOTE:  
In a frontal angle crash, the side air bags  
and side curtain air bags may inflate.  
Front air bags are not designed to inflate in  
rear impacts, side impacts, rollovers or  
minor frontal crashes, since they would  
offer no protection in those types of acci-  
dents. Since an air bag deploys only one  
time during an accident, seat belts are  
needed to restrain occupants from further  
movements during the accident.

BEFORE DRIVING  
A seat belt helps keep you in the proper  
position for maximum protection when an  
air bag inflates. Adjust your seat as far  
back as possible while still maintaining  
control of the vehicle. Sit fully back in your  
seat; sit up straight; do not lean over the  
steering wheel or dashboard. Front occu-  
pants should not lean on or sleep against  
the door. Refer to “Seat adjustment” sec-  
tion and “Seat belts and child restraint sys-  
tems” section in this section for details on  
proper seat and seat belt adjustments.  
How the system works  
In a frontal crash, the crash sensors will  
detect rapid deceleration, and if the con-  
troller judges that the deceleration rep-  
resents  
a
severe frontal crash, the  
controller will trigger the inflators. If your  
vehicle is equipped with side air bags and  
side curtain air bags, crash sensors will  
detect a side crash, and if the controller  
judges that the side crash is severe  
enough, it will trigger the side air bag and  
side curtain air bag inflators. The inflators  
inflate the appropriate air bags with nitro-  
gen or argon gas. The inflated air bags  
provide a cushion for your head (front air  
bags and side curtain air bags only) and  
upper body. The air bag inflates and  
deflates so quickly that you may not even  
realize that it has activated. The air bag will  
neither hinder your view nor make it harder  
to exit the vehicle.  
65D610  
Air bags must inflate quickly and forcefully  
in order to reduce the chance of serious or  
fatal injuries. However, an unavoidable  
consequence of the quick inflation is that  
the air bag may irritate bare skin, such as  
the facial area against a front air bag. Also,  
upon inflation, a loud noise will occur and  
some powder and smoke will be released.  
These conditions are not harmful and do  
not indicate a fire in the vehicle. Be aware,  
however, that some air bag components  
may be hot for a while after inflation.  
54G582

52RM0-01E  
BEFORE DRIVING  
Even though your vehicle is moderately  
damaged by a crash, it may not be severe  
enough to trigger front, side or side curtain  
air bags to inflate. If your vehicle sustains  
any front-end or side damage, have the air  
bag system inspected by an authorized  
SUZUKI dealer to ensure that it works  
properly.  
Special procedures are required for servic-  
ing or replacing an air bag. For that rea-  
son, only an authorized SUZUKI dealer  
should be allowed to service or replace  
your air bags. Remind anyone who ser-  
vices your SUZUKI vehicle that it has air  
bags.  
WARNING  
• The driver should not lean over the  
steering wheel. The front passen-  
ger should not rest his or her body  
against the dashboard, or other-  
wise get too close to the dash-  
board. For vehicles with side air  
bags and side curtain air bag,  
occupants should not lean on or  
sleep against the door. In these sit-  
uations, the out-of-position occu-  
pant would be too close to an  
inflating air bag, and may suffer  
severe injury.  
• Do not attach any objects to, or  
place any objects over, the steering  
wheel or dashboard. Do not place  
any objects between the air bag  
and the driver or front passenger.  
These objects may interfere with air  
bag operation or may be propelled  
by the air bag in the event of a  
crash. Either of these conditions  
may cause severe injury.  
Service on or around air bag components  
or wiring must be performed only by an  
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Improper ser-  
vice could result in unintended air bag  
deployment or could render the air bag  
inoperative. Either of these two conditions  
may result in severe injury.  
Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnostic  
module which records information about  
the air bag system if the air bags deploy in  
a crash. The module records information  
about overall system status, and which  
sensors activated the deployment, and for  
a certain vehicle only, whether the driver’s  
seat belt was in use.  
To prevent damage or unintended inflation  
of the air bag system, check that the lead-  
acid battery is disconnected and the igni-  
tion switch has been in “LOCK” position or  
the ignition mode has been “LOCK” (OFF)  
for at least 90 seconds before performing  
any electrical service work on your  
SUZUKI vehicle. Do not touch air bag sys-  
tem components or wires. The wires are  
wrapped with yellow tape or yellow tubing,  
and the couplers are yellow for easy identi-  
fication.  
Servicing the air bag system  
If the air bags inflate, have the air bags  
and related components replaced by an  
authorized SUZUKI dealer as soon as pos-  
sible.  
If your vehicle ever gets in deep water and  
the driver’s floor is submerged, the air bag  
controller could be damaged. If this hap-  
pens, ask an authorized SUZUKI dealer to  
check the air bag system as soon as possi-  
ble.  
• For vehicles with side air bags, do  
not place seat covers on the front  
seats, because seat covers could  
restrict the air bag’s inflation. Also,  
do not place any cup holders on the  
door, as the cup holder could be  
propelled by the air bag in the event  
of a crash. Either of these condi-  
tions may cause severe injury.  
Scrapping a vehicle that has an uninflated  
air bag can be hazardous. Ask an autho-  
rized SUZUKI dealer, body repair shop or  
scrap yard for help with disposal.

BEFORE DRIVING  
WARNING  
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire  
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to  
tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces  
fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may  
affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping  
ability. Each tire, including the spare,  
should be checked at least once a month  
when cold and set to the recommended  
inflation pressure as specified in the vehi-  
cle placard.  
Warning and indicator lights  
Failure to take corrective action when  
the low tire pressure warning light is  
not working or when it comes on and  
blinks while driving can lead to an  
accident.  
NOTE:  
If warning and indicator lights blink or  
come on, the corresponding messages  
may be shown on the information display.  
If the low tire pressure warning light  
does not come on for 2 seconds after  
the ignition switch is turned to “ON”  
position or the engine switch is  
pressed to change the ignition mode  
to “ON”, or comes on and blinks  
while driving, have your vehicle  
inspected by an authorized SUZUKI  
dealer. Even if the light turns off after  
blinking, indicating that the monitor-  
ing system has recovered, you  
should still have the system checked  
by an authorized SUZUKI dealer.  
Low tire pressure warning light  
The low tire pressure warning light is also  
used to inform you of a TPMS malfunction.  
When the system detects a malfunction,  
this light will blink for about 75 seconds  
and then remain continuously illuminated.  
This sequence will be repeated after the  
ignition switch is turned to “ON” position or  
the engine switch is pressed to change the  
ignition mode to “ON” as long as the mal-  
function exists.  
52D305  
As an added fuel efficiency feature, your  
vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure  
monitoring system (TPMS) that uses a low  
tire pressure warning light to inform you  
when one or more of your tires is signifi-  
cantly under-inflated.  
NOTE:  
The low tire pressure warning light may not

WARNING  
WARNING  
WARNING  
The load-carrying capacity of your  
tires is reduced at lower inflation  
pressures. If your tires are even mod-  
erately under-inflated, the load on the  
tires may exceed the load-carrying  
capacity of the tires, which could lead  
to tire failure. The low tire pressure  
warning light will not alert you to this  
condition, because it only comes on  
when one or more of your tires  
becomes significantly under-inflated.  
Check and adjust your tire inflation  
pressure at least once a month. Refer  
to “Tires” in “INSPECTION AND  
MAINTENANCE” section.  
Continuing to drive with the low tire  
pressure warning light on can lead to  
an accident, resulting in severe injury  
or death.  
(Continued)  
• If your vehicle is equipped with a  
flat tire repair kit instead of a spare  
tire, refer to “Flat tire repair kit” in  
“EMERGENCY SERVICE” section  
for instructions on how to perform  
an emergency repair of a flat tire.  
• If one or more of your tires is  
under-inflated, adjust the inflation  
pressure of all tires to the recom-  
mended inflation pressure as soon  
as possible.  
If the low tire pressure warning light  
comes on and stays on, reduce your  
speed and avoid abrupt steering and  
braking. Be aware that driving on a  
significantly under-inflated tire can  
cause the tire to overheat and can  
lead to tire failure, and may affect  
steering control and brake effective-  
ness. Stop the vehicle in a safe place  
as soon as possible and check your  
tires.  
Refer to “Tire pressure monitoring system  
(TPMS)” in “OPERATING YOUR VEHI-  
CLE” section for additional details on the  
tire pressure monitoring system. Refer to  
“Tires” in “INSPECTION AND MAINTE-  
NANCE” section for information on main-  
taining proper tire pressure.  
• If you have a flat tire, replace it with  
the spare tire (if equipped). Refer to  
“Jacking instructions” in “EMER-  
GENCY SERVICE” section for the  
tire replacement method. Also refer  
to “Replacing tires and/or wheels”  
for instructions on how to restore  
normal operation of the TPMS after  
you have had a flat tire.
