4.Recheck the air pressure using the air only
hose on the compressor.
5.Turn the selector switch to AIR ONLY.
uDo not turn the air compressor on to
check the pressure.

6.If the air pressure is:
•Less than 19 psi (130 kPa):
Do not add air or continue driving. The
leak is too severe. Call for help and have
your vehicle towed.

•32 psi (220 kPa) or more:
Continue driving for another 10 minutes
or until you reach the nearest service
station. Do not exceed 50 mph (80
km/h).
uIf the air does not go down after driving
for 10 minutes, you do not need to check
the pressure any more.
•Greater than 19 psi (130 kPa), but less
than 32 psi (220 kPa):
Turn the air compressor on to inflate the
tire until the tire pressure reaches 32 psi
(220 kPa).
Then drive carefully for 10 more minutes
or until you reach the nearest service
station. Do not exceed 50 mph (80
km/h).
uYou should repeat this procedure as long
as the air pressure is within this range.

Running the engine with the vehicle in an
enclosed or even partly enclosed area can
cause a rapid build-up of toxic carbon

Handling the Unexpected
Changing a Flat TireIf 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.
1.Park the vehicle on firm, level, non-slippery surface, and apply the parking brake.
2.Move the shift lever to

3.Set the parking brake.
4.Turn on the hazard warning lights and turn the ignition switch to LOCK

Models with optional compact spare tire
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/cm
2)
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.
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.
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.
Do not use a puncture-repairing agent other than the
Tire Repair Kit provided with your vehicle, as some
tire repair agents can cause damage to the pressure
sensors.
U.S. models only

1.Remove the center cap.
2.Place the flat tire face down in the compact
spare tire well.
3.Remove the spacer cone from the wing
bolt, flip it over, and insert it back on the
bolt. Secure the flat tire with the wing bolt.
4.Securely put the jack and wheel nut wrench
back in the tool case. Store the case in the
trunk.
If you replace a flat tire with the compact spare tire, the low tire pressure/TPMS
indicator comes on while you are driving. After driving for a few miles (kilometers),
the indicator will start blinking for a short time and then stay on. CHECK TPMS
SYSTEM appears on the intelligent multi-information display (i-MID), but this is
normal.
If you replace the tire with a specified regular tire, the warning message on the i-MID
and the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator will go off after a few miles (kilometers).

The system cannot monitor the pressure of the
compact spare tire. Manually check the compact
spare tire pressure to be sure that it is correct.
Use TPMS specific wheels. Each is equipped with a
tire pressure sensor mounted inside the tire behind
the valve stem.

Handling the Unexpected
If the IMA Indicator Comes On
■Reasons for the indicator to come on
Comes on when there is a problem with the IMA system.■What to do when the indicator come on
Avoid high speeds and immediately get your vehicle inspected by a
dealer.
If the Low Tire Pressure/TPMS Indicator Comes On or Blinks
■Reasons for the indicator to come on or blink
A tire pressure is significantly low. If there is a problem with the TPMS or
the compact spare tire is installed, the indicator blinks for about one
minute, and then stays on.■What to do when the indicator comes on
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.■What to do when the indicator blinks
Have the tire inspected by a dealer as soon as possible. If the compact
spare tire
* causes the indicator to blink, change the tire to a full-size tire.
The indicator goes off after driving for a few miles (kilometers).

it to overheat. An overheated tire can fail. Always
inflate your tires to the prescribed level.
