CHANGING THE TIRES
If you get a flat tire while driving, do not apply the brake heavily.
Instead, gradually decrease your speed. Hold the steering wheel firmly
and slowly move to a safe place on the side of the road.
The use of tire sealants is not recommended and may compromise the
integrity of your tires. The use of tire sealants may also affect your tire
pressure monitoring system (if equipped).
Temporary spare tire information
The temporary spare tire for your vehicle is labeled as such. It is smaller
than a regular tire and is designed for emergency use only.
If you use the temporary spare tire continuously or do not follow
these precautions, the tire could fail, causing you to lose control
of the vehicle, possibly injuring yourself or others.
When driving with the temporary spare tire do not:
use more than one temporary spare tire at a time
exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) or drive further than 3 200 km (2 000
miles) total under any circumstances
load the vehicle beyond maximum vehicle load rating listed on the
Safety Compliance Label
tow a trailer
use tire chains
drive through an automatic car wash, because of the vehicle's reduced
ground clearance
