NOTICE
Do not use the jack if it  doesn’t work properly. Call 
your dealer or a prof essional towing service.
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

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.

1Injecting Sealant and Air
NOTICE
Do not operate the temporary tire repair kit 
compressor for more than 15 minutes. The 
compressor can overheat  and become permanently 
damaged.
Until the sealant injection is complete, the pressure 
shown on the pressure gauge  will appear higher than 
actual. After the sealant injection is complete the 
pressure will drop and then  begin to rise again as the 
tire is inflated with air. This is normal. To accurately 
measure the air pressure usi ng the gauge, turn the air 
compressor off only after the sealant injection is 
complete.

Running the engine with the vehicle in an
