CHANGING A FLAT TIRE
WARNING: If the tire pressure
monitor sensor becomes damaged it may
not function.
Note: The use of tire sealant may damage
your tire pressure monitoring system and
should only be used in roadside
emergencies. If you must use a sealant, use
the Tire Mobility Kit sealant. Replace the tire
pressure monitoring system sensor and
valve stem on the wheel by an authorized
dealer after use of the sealant.
Note: The tire pressure monitoring system
indicator light will illuminate 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 while 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.
See
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Overview
(page 385). Replace the spare tire with a road
tire as soon as possible. During repairing or
replacing of the flat tire, have an authorized
dealer inspect the tire pressure monitoring
system sensor for damage.
