Handling the Unexpected
1. Remove the center cap.
2. Place the flat tire face down in the 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 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. Tire Pressures Low
appears on the driver information interface *
, but this is normal.
Calibrate the TPMS when you replace the tire with a specified regular tire.

uuIndicator, Coming On/BlinkinguIf the Electric Power Steering (EPS) System Indicator Comes On
Handling the Unexpected
If the Electric Power Steering (EPS) System Indicator
Comes On
■Reasons for the indicator to come on
• Comes on when there is a problem with the EPS system.
• If you depress the accelerator pedal repeatedly to increase the engine
speed while the engine is idling, the indicator comes on, and
sometimes the steering wheel becomes harder to operate.
• Comes on when EPS steering angle cent er point memory is lost. This
could be due to a number of problems to include: battery disconnect,
main fuse blow, low battery causing reset of the EPS system, wire
damage to EPS harness. Vehi cle Stability Assist (VSA®), VSA ® OFF,
Collision Mitigation Braking System TM
(CMBS TM
)*
, and low tire
pressure/TPMS *
indicators also come on with EPS indicator.
The Drive Carefully Systems Initializing... message appears on the
driver information interface.
■ What to do when the indicator comes on
• Stop the vehicle in a safe place and restart the engine.
If the indicator comes on and stays on, immediately have your vehicle
inspected by a dealer.
• If the EPS indicator, VSA ® indicator, VSA ® OFF indicator, CMBS TM
indicator *
, and low tire pressure/TPMS indicator *
come on
simultaneously, you need to ca librate the VSA and EPS systems.
Drive straight at speed more than 12 mph (20 km/h) for less than 10
seconds to calibrate the VSA and EPS systems.
If the indicators come on and stay on, park your vehicle in a safe
place, turn off and restart the engine, then repeat the above
operation.
If the indicators still come on and stay on, immediately have your
vehicle inspected by a dealer.

uuIndicator, Coming On/BlinkinguIf the Low Tire Pressure/TPMS Indicator Comes On or Blinks
Handling the Unexpected
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, or the TPMS has not been calibrated.
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 th e indicator comes on
Drive carefully and avoid abrupt cornering and hard braking.
Stop your vehicle in a safe place. Ch eck the tire pressure and adjust the
pressure to the specified level. The sp ecified tire pressure is on a label on
the driver-side doorjamb.
uCalibrate the TPMS after the tire pressure is adjusted.
■ What to do when the indica tor blinks, then remains on
Have the tire inspected by a dealer as soon as possible. If the compact
spare tire causes the indica tor to blink, change the tire to a full-size tire.
The indicator goes off after driving for a few miles (kilometers).
uCalibrate the TPMS after a full-size tire is reinstalled.
