CHANGING A FLAT TIRE

WARNING: If the tire pressure
monitor sensor becomes damaged it may
not function.
If you get a flat tire while driving, do not apply

decrease your speed. Hold the steering
wheel firmly and slowly move to a safe place
on the side of the road.
Have a flat serviced by an authorized dealer
in order to prevent damage to the tire
pressure monitoring system sensors. See
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Overview
(page 392). Replace the spare tire with a road
tire as soon as possible. During repairing or
replacing of the flat tire, have an authorized
dealer inspect the tire pressure monitoring
system sensor for damage.
