Temporarily Repairing a Flat Tire
This vehicle is not equipped with a spare 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.
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 firm, level, and non-slippery surface and apply the parking
brake.
2. Put the shift lever in
P.
3. Turn on the hazard warning lights and turn the ignition switch to LOCK
0.
When towing a trailer, unhitch the trailer.
