HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
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. This vehicle is
not equipped with a spare tire.
Before Repairing the Tire
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level, and non-slippery surface.
2. Move the shift lever to Park (P).
3. Turn on the hazard warning lights and set the ignition to OFF / power mode to
VEHICLE OFF (LOCK).
Getting Ready to Repair the Tire
1. Open the cargo area floor lid and take the kit out of
the case.
2. Place the kit upright on flat ground near the
punctured tire and away from traffic. Do not place
the kit on its side.
3. Follow the instructions in the kit to repair the tire.
NOTICE
If the required air pressure is not reached within 10 minutes, the tire may be too
severely damaged for the kit to provide the necessary seal and your vehicle will
need to be towed.
Do not operate the temporary tire repair kit compressor for more than 15 minutes.
The accessory power socket and compressor can overheat and become
permanently damaged.
WARNING
Running the engine with the vehicle in an enclosed or even partly enclosed
area can cause a rapid build-up of toxic carbon monoxide.
Breathing this colorless, odorless gas can cause unconsciousness and even
death. Only run the engine to power the air compressor with the vehicle
outdoors.

Changing a Flat Tire*
If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually
to reduce speed. Then, stop in a safe place. Replace the flat tire with the compact
spare tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the full-size tire repaired or
replaced.
Getting Ready to Change the Tire
Park the vehicle on a firm, level, and non-slippery surface. Apply the parking
brake, shift to Park (CVT) or Reverse (manual transmission), and turn the vehicle
off. Turn on the hazard warning lights.
1. Open the cargo area floor lid.
