Replacing the Flat Tire

2. Mount the compact spare tire. Replace the wheel
nuts, and lightly tighten them.

back in the tool case. Store the case in the cargo
area.
WARNING
Loose items can fly around the interior in a crash and can seriously injure the

Tire Repair Kit*

If a tire has a small puncture, you can use the tire repair kit to temporarily repair it.
The puncture must be smaller than 3/16-inch (4 mm) and not in the tire sidewall.
Go to a dealer to have the full-size tire permanently repaired or replaced.
Before Repairing the Tire
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level, and non-slippery surface.
2. Change the gear to Park (P) and apply the parking brake.
3. Turn on the hazard warning lights and turn the vehicle off.
Getting Ready to Repair the Tire
1. Pull the handle on the cargo area floor lid and
open the lid.
2. Remove the cargo floor box.
3. Remove the kit from the case.
4. Place the kit face up on flat ground near the
punctured tire and away from traffic. Do not
place the kit on its side.
5. Follow the instructions in the kit to repair the
tire.
NOTICE
Do not use an unapproved puncture-repairing agent on a flat tire, as it can damage
the tire pressure sensor.
