Maintenance
The inside lenses of exterior lights (headlights, brake lights etc.) may fog temporarily 
if you have driven in the rain, or after the vehicle has been run through a car wash. 
Dew condensation also may build up inside  the lenses when there is a significant 
enough difference between the ambient and  inside lens temperatures (similar to 
vehicle windows fogging up in rainy conditions). These conditions are natural 
processes, not structural design problems in the exterior lights.
Lens design characteristics ma y result in moisture developing on the light lens frame 
surfaces. This also is not a malfunction.
However, if you see large amounts of wa ter accumulation, or large water drops 
building up inside the lenses, have your vehicle inspected by a dealer.

Handling the Unexpected
If a Tire Goes Flat
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 a compact 
spare tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have th e full-size tire repaired or 
replaced.
1. Park the vehicle on firm, level, and non- slippery surface and apply the parking 
brake.
2. Move the shift lever to 
(P.
3. Turn on the hazard warning lights an d turn the ignition switch to LOCK 
(0*1.
*1: Models with the smart entry system have an  ENGINE START/STOP button instead of an 
ignition switch.
1 Changing a Flat Tire
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
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 prof essional towing service.

■Jump Starting Procedure1Jump Starting
Securely attach the jumper cables clips so that they 
do not come off when the e ngine vibrates. Also be 
careful not to tangle the ju mper cables or allow the 
cable ends to touch each other while attaching or 
detaching the jumper cables.
Battery performance degrades  in cold conditions and 
may prevent the engi ne from starting.
3WARNING
A battery can explode if you do not follow 
the correct procedure, seriously injuring 
anyone nearby.
Keep all sparks, open flames, and smoking 
materials away from the battery.
