HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
Replacing the Flat Tire
n
1. Remove the wheel nuts and flat tire.
2. Wipe the mounting surfaces of the
wheel with a clean cloth. Mount the
compact spare tire. Screw the
wheel nuts until they touch the lips
around the mounting holes, then
stop rotating.
3. Lower the vehicle and remove the
jack. Tighten the wheel nuts in the
order indicated in the image. Go
around, tightening the nuts, two to
three times in this order.
Wheel nut torque: 94 lbf-ft (127 N-m,
13.0 kgf-m)
Do not over tighten the wheel nuts
by applying extra torque using your
foot or a pipe.
If you drive with the spare tire installed, the low tire pressure/TPMS
indicator appears. The indicator stays on until a regular tire is installed and
the TPMS system is recalibrated.
