CHANGING THE TIRES
If you get a flat tire while driving:
• do not brake heavily.
• gradually decrease the vehicle’s speed.
• hold the steering wheel firmly.
• slowly move to a safe place on the side of the road.
The use of tire sealants may damage your tires. The use of tire
sealants may also damage your tire pressure monitoring system
(if equipped).
If your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring
system, refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (if
equipped) in the Maintenance and specifications section for
important information. If the tire pressure monitor sensor becomes
damaged, it will no longer function.
Spare tire information
Your spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) sensor. The tire pressure monitoring system indicator light will
illuminate when the spare is in use. To restore full functionality of the
monitoring system, all road wheels equipped with tire pressure
monitoring sensors must be mounted on the vehicle.
Have flat tires serviced by a dealer or qualified technician in order to
prevent damage to the TPMS sensor. Replace the spare tire with a road
tire as soon as possible.
If your vehicle is equipped with AWD, a spare tire of a different
diameter than the road tires should not be used. Such a tire
could make the vehicle difficult to control as well as result in damage
to driveline components.
