rear center end of the rear luggage
storage box lid. Then pull the ends

curely.

11. Check the air pressure of the re-
placed tire.
Adjust the air pressure to the specifi-
cation designated on page 294 in
Section 8. If the pressure is lower,
drive slowly to the nearest service
station and fill to the correct pressure.
Do not forget to reinstall the tire infla-
tion valve cap as dirt and moisture
could get into the valve core and
possibly cause air leakage. If the cap
is missing, have a new one put on as
soon as possible.
As soon after changing wheels as
possible, tighten the wheel nuts to the
torque specified on page 294 in Sec-
tion 8 with a torque wrench. Have a
technician repair the flat tire.
