CHANGING A FLAT TIRE
Note:
You should only use tire sealants in
roadside emergencies as they may cause
damage to the tire pressure monitoring
system sensor.
Note: The tire pressure monitoring system
indicator light illuminates when the spare
tire is in use. To restore the full function of
the monitoring system, all road wheels
equipped with tire pressure monitoring
sensors must be mounted on the vehicle.
If you get a flat tire when driving, do not
apply the brake heavily. Instead, gradually
decrease your speed. Hold the steering
wheel firmly and slowly move to a safe
place on the side of the road.
Have a flat serviced by an authorized
dealer in order to prevent damage to the
tire pressure monitoring system sensors.
Replace the spare tire with a road tire as
soon as possible. During repairing or
replacing of the flat tire, have the
authorized dealer inspect the tire pressure
monitoring system sensor for damage.
Tire Change Procedure WARNING: Failure to follow these
guidelines could result in an increased
risk of loss of vehicle control, injury or
death. WARNING:
Do not get under a
vehicle that is only supported by a
vehicle jack. WARNING:
The jack supplied with
this vehicle is only intended for changing

provided, make sure the jack capacity is
adequate for the vehicle weight,
including any vehicle cargo or
modifications. If you are unsure if the jack
capacity is adequate, contact the
authorized dealer. WARNING:
Use only the specified
jacking points. If you use other positions,
you may damage the body, steering,
suspension, engine, braking system or
the fuel lines. WARNING:
Never place anything
