Practical hints
Flat tire
Warning!
Follow recommend inflation pressures.
Do not overinflate tires. Overinflating tires
can result in sudden deflation (blowout) be-
cause they are more likely to become punc-
tured or damaged by road debris, potholes,
etc.
Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated tires
wear unevenly, adversely affect handling
and fuel economy, and are more likely to fail
from being overheated.
Detach the electric air pump.
Stow electrical plug 3 and air hose 4
behind flap 1 and place the air pump
back in the trunk.
