HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
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 place.
replace the flat tire with the compact
spare tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the full-size tir\
e re

paired or
replaced.
Getting Ready to Change the Tire
Park the vehicle on a firm, level, non-slippery surface. Apply the par\
king brake,
shift to Park (P), and turn the vehicle off. Turn on the hazard warning lights.
1.
open the trunk floor lid.
2.
Take the tool case out of the trunk. T

ake the jack
and wheel nut wrench out of the tool case.
3.
Unscrew the wing bolt, then remove the spacer
cone.
remove the spare tire.
4.
Place the compact spare tire (wheel side up)
under the vehicle body, near the tire that needs
to be replaced.
5.
Loosen each wheel nut about one turn using the
wheel nut wrench.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required Federal Explanation
U.S. models
each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly\

when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the \
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure\

label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated \
on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine\
the
proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped
with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates
a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly underinflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the\

proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly underinflated tire causes the tire to ove\
rheat and
can lead to tire failure. Underinflation also reduces fuel efficienc\
y and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle’
s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenanc\
e,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even
if underinflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of\
the
TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator
to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This \
sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the \
malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be abl\
e
to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle \
that
prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or altern\
ate
tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
Driving on an extremely underinflated tire can cause it to overheat. A\
n overheated
tire can fail. Always inflate your tires to the specified pressure.

Tire Information
To safely operate your vehicle, your tires must be of the proper type and\
size, in good
condition with adequate tread, and properly inflated.
Inflation Guidelines
•
Properly inflated tires provide the best combination of handling, trea\
d life, and
comfort.
refer to the driver’

s doorjamb label or the specifications (see page
148) for the specified pressure.
•
Underinflated tires wear unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy

,
and are more likely to fail from overheating.
•
overinflated tires make your vehicle ride harshly

, are more prone to road
hazards, and wear unevenly.
•
every day before you drive, look at each of the tires. If one looks lower\
than t

he
others, check the pressure with a tire gauge.
•
Measure the air pressure when tires are cold. This means the vehicle has been
parked for at least 3 hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). If n\
ecessar

y, add
or release air until the specified pressure is reached, and then calib\
rate the
system (see page 121). If checked when hot, tire pressure can be as mu\
ch as
4–6 psi (30–40 kPa, 0.3–0.5 kgf/cm
2) higher than checked when cold.
•
At least once a month or before long trips, use a gauge to measure the p\
ressure
in all tires, including the spare.
even tires in good condition can lose 1–2 ps

i
(10–20 kPa, 0.1–0.2 kgf/cm
2) per month.
Inspection Guidelines
every time you inflate the tires, check for the following:
•
Any damage to tires, including bumps, bulges, cuts, splits, or cracks in\
the side
or tread.
remove any foreign objects and inspect for air leaks. replace t

ires if
you see fabric or cord.
•
Uneven or excessive tread wear. Have a dealer check the wheel alignment.
•
Cracks or other damage around the valve stems.
Wear Indicators The groove where the wear indicator is located is
1/16 inch (1.6 mm) shallower than elsewhere on the
tire. If the tread has worn so low that the indicator is
exposed, replace the tire. Worn out tires have poor
traction on wet roads.

indicator mark
Changing Wiper Blades
If the wiper blades leave streaks across the windshield, try cleaning th\
em first with a
paper towel or soft cloth and wiper fluid. If the wiper blade rubber h\
as deteriorated,
you should change the wiper blades.
1.
Lift the driver side wiper arm first, then the
passenger side.
2.
Press and hold the tab, then slide the holder from
the wiper arm.
3.
Slide the wiper blade out from its holder by pulling
the tabbed end out.
4.
remove the retainers from the rubber blade that
has been removed, and mount to a new rubber
blade. Correctly align the rubber protrusion and the
retainer grooves.
5.
Slide the new wiper blade onto the holder from the
bottom end. The tab on the holder should fit in the
indent of the wiper blade.
6.
Slide the wiper holder onto the wiper arm, then
push down the lock tab.
7.
Lower the passenger side wiper arm first, then the
driver side.

Tire Service Life
The life of your tires is dependent on many factors, including driving h\
abits, road
conditions, vehicle loading, inflation pressure, maintenance history, speed, and
environmental conditions (even when the tires are not in use).
In addition to regular inspections and inflation pressure maintenance,\
it is
recommended that you have annual inspections performed once the tires re\
ach
five years old. All tires, including the spare, should be removed from\
service after
10 years from the date of manufacture, regardless of their condition or \
state of
wear.
Winter TiresIf driving on snowy or frozen roads, mount all season tires marked “M\
+S”, snow
tires, or tire chains; reduce speed; and maintain sufficient distance \
between
vehicles when driving. For winter tires, select the size and load ranges\
that are the
same as the original tires, and mount them to all four wheels.
Tire ChainsInstall tire chains on the front tires only. Because your vehicle has limited tire
clearance, we strongly recommend using the following chains:
For 205/65R16 tires:
Cable-type: SCC
radial Chain SC1034
For 215/55R17 tires:


Cable-type: SCC
radial Chain SC1036
For 235/40R19 tires:


Cable-type: SCC
radial Chain SC1040
Mount chains as tightly as you can, and make sure that they do not touch\
the
brake lines or suspension.
T

raction devices that are the wrong size or improperly installed can dama\
ge your
vehicle’s brake lines, suspension, body, and wheels. Stop driving if they are hitting
any part of the vehicle.
NOTICE
Using the wrong chains, or not properly installing chains, can damage th\
e
brake lines and cause a crash in which you can be seriously injured or k\
illed.
Follow all instructions in this guide regarding the selection and use of\
tire
chains.
WARNING
Tire and Loading Information LabelThe label attached to the driver’s doorjamb provides necessary tire and
loading information. Using tires that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can cause\

a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner’s manual regarding tire inflation
and maintenance
.
WARNING
Tire and Wheel Replacement
replace your tires with radials of the same size, load range, speed ratin\

g, and
maximum cold tire pressure rating (as shown on the tire’s sidewall). Using tires
of a different size or construction can cause certain vehicle systems to\
work
incorrectly. It is best to replace all four tires at the same time. If that isn’\
t possible,
replace the front or rear tires in pairs.
If you change or replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel’s specifications match
those of the original wheels.
only use TPMS-specified wheels approved f

or your
vehicle.

DOT Tire Quality Grading
The tires on your vehicle meet all U.S. Federal Safety requirements. All tires are
also graded for treadwear, traction, and temperature performance according
to Department of T
ransportation (D
oT) standards. The following explains these
gradings.
Uniform Tire Quality Grading
Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall betwee\
n tread
shoulder and maximum section width.
For example:
Treadwear 200
Traction AA
Temperature A
All passenger car tires must conform to Federal Safety
requirements in addit

ion
to these grades.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of th\
e tire
when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test\
course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1 1/2) tim\
es as well
on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance \
of
tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart
significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, servi\
ce practices,
and differences in road characteristics and climate.
TractionThe traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. Those \
grades
represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concre\
te. A tire
marked C may have poor traction performance.
WARNING: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead
braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hy\
droplaning,
or peak traction characteristics.
Tire Labeling
The tires that came on your vehicle have a number of markings. Those you\

should be aware of are described below.
Here is an example of what each marking means:
P215/55R17 94V
•
P: vehicle type (passenger vehicle)
•
215: tire width in millimeters
•
55: aspect ratio (tire section height as a
percentage of its width)
•
r: tire construction code (radial)
•
17: rim diameter in inches
•
94: load index (code indicating maximum load
tire can carry)
•
v: speed symbol (code indicating maximum speed rating)
Tire Identification Number (TIN)
The tire identification number
(TIN) is a group of numbers
and letters that look like the
example below. TIN is located
on the sidewall of the tire.
Glossary of Tire TerminologyCold Tire Pressure – The tire air pressure when the vehicle has been
parked for at least three hours or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km).
Load
rating – The maximum load that a tire is rated to carry for a given
inflation pressure.
Maximum Inflation Pressure – The maximum tire air pressure that the\
tire
can hold.
Maximum Load
rating – The load rating for a tire at the maximum
permissible inflation pressure for that tire.
recommended Inflation Pressure – The cold tire inflation pressure \
recommended by the manufacturer

.
