Jacking Point Indicators
14. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw clockwise, using the swivel wrench. Raise
the vehicle only until the tire just clears the
surface and enough clearance is obtained
to install the compact spare tire. Minimum
tire lift provides maximum stability. 15. Remove the five wheel bolts and take the
wheel off.
16. Make sure the contact surfaces between compact spare tire and hub are clean so
that the fastening bolts will not come
loose.
17. Fit the compact spare tire by inserting the first wheel bolt for two threads into the
hole closest to the valve.
18. Take the wheel wrench and tighten the wheel bolts.
19. Inflate the compact spare tire by removing the cap from its inflation valve and
screwing on the compressor inflation hose
fitting. 20. Make sure that the switch on the
compressor is in the (off) O position, open
the liftgate and insert the plug into the
power socket in the cargo area, or on the
center console and start the engine. Place
the on/off switch in the (on) I position.
Attaching Compressor To Tire
21. Inflate the compact spare tire to a pres -
sure of 43.5 psi (3 bar).

NOTE:

If spare tire is overinflated, be sure to lower
the psi in the tire to the recommended amount
by using the deflation button on the air
compressor.
22. Operate the wheel wrench on the jack to lower the vehicle.
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by
jacking on locations other than those
indicated in the Jacking Instructions for this
vehicle.
WARNING!
Raising the vehicle higher than necessary
can make the vehicle less stable. It could
slip off the jack and hurt someone near it.
Raise the vehicle only enough to remove
the tire.
CAUTION!
Be sure to mount the spare tire with the
valve stem facing outward. The vehicle
could be damaged if the spare tire is
mounted incorrectly.

able to check the pressure of the compact
spare tire on the pressure gauge with the
compressor off.

NOTE:

Do not stow the deflated tire in the compact
spare tire location.
The compressor was designed for inflating the
compact spare tire. Do not use it for inflating
mattresses, rafts, etc.

NOTE:

Spare tires are intended for temporary use
only.
Have the full-sized tire repaired or replaced, as
soon as possible.
TIRE SERVICE KIT — IF
EQUIPPED
Description
If a tire is punctured, you can make an emer -
gency repair using the Tire Service Kit located
in the rear storage area under the load plat -
form.
1. Stop the vehicle in a position where you can repair the tire safely. You should be as
far as possible from the side of the road,
and in a position that is not dangerous for
oncoming traffic. Turn on the Hazard
Warning Flashers, remove the safety
triangle from the luggage compartment,
and place it at a suitable distance from the
vehicle to make other drivers aware of
your presence.
2. Verify that the valve stem (on the wheel with the deflated tire) is in a position that
is near to the ground. This will allow the tire repair kit hoses to reach the valve stem
and keep the tire service kit flat on the
ground.
3. Place the gear selector in PARK (P).
4. Apply the electric park brake and turn the engine OFF.
To access the Tire Service Kit, open the liftgate
and lift the load floor.
Load Floor
The Tire Service Kit consists of:
Sealant cartridge containing the sealing
fluid
Filler Tube
Air compressor, complete with pressure
gauge and connectors
Adhesive label with the writing "Max.
50 mph (80 km/h)”, to be attached in a
position easily visible to the driver (e.g. on
the dashboard) after repairing the tire
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off
the jack, do not tighten the wheel nuts fully
until the vehicle has been lowered. Failure
to follow this warning may result in serious
injury.
WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a
collision or hard stop could endanger the
occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the
jack parts and the spare tire in the places
provided. Have the deflated (flat) tire
repaired or replaced immediately.
