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 plac e. Replace the flat tire with a compact 
spare tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possib le to have the full-size tire repaired or 
replaced.
1. Park the vehicle on firm, level, and non-slippery surface, and apply the parking 
brake.

1 Changing a Flat Tire
Follow these 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 us e 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 the jack if it doesn’t work properly.
Call your dealer or a pr ofessional towing service.

vehicle's battery  + terminal.
2. Connect the other end of the first jumper 
cable to the booster battery  + terminal.
u Use a 12-volt booster battery only.
u When using an automotive battery 
charger to boost your 12-volt battery, 
select a lower charging voltage than 15-
volt. Check the charger manual for the 
proper setting.
3. Connect the second jumper cable to the 
booster battery  - terminal.1Jump Starting
Securely attach the jumper cables clips so that they 
do not come off when the e ngine vibrates. Also be
