If a Tyre Goes Flat
Changing a Flat Tyre*
1Changing a Flat Tyre*
If a tyre goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually
to reduce speed. Then, stop in a safe place. Replace the flat tyre with a compact
spare tyre. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the full-size tyre repaired or
replaced.
Follow compact spare precautions:
Periodically check the tyre pressure of the compact
spare*. It should be set to the specified pressure.
Specified Pressure: 420 kPa (4.2 bar, 60 psi)
1. Park the vehicle on firm, level, and non-slippery surface and apply the parking
brake.
When driving with the compact spare tyre, keep the
vehicle speed under 80 km/h (50 mph). Replace with
a full-size tyre as soon as possible.
Automatic transmission models
The compact spare tyre and wheel in your vehicle are
specifically for this model. Do not use them with
another vehicle. Do not use another type of compact
spare tyre or wheel with your vehicle.
2. Change the gear position to (P
.
Manual transmission models
2. Move the shift lever to (R
.
Do not mount tyre chains on a compact spare tyre.
If a chain-mounted front tyre goes flat, remove one of
the full-size rear tyres and replace it with the compact
spare tyre. Remove the flat front tyre and replace it
with the full-size tyre that was removed from the rear.
Mount the tyre chains on the front tyre.
All models
3. Turn on the hazard warning lights and turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0*1
.
A compact spare tyre gives a harsher ride and less
traction on some road surfaces. Use greater caution
while driving.
Do not use more than one compact spare tyre at the
same time.
The compact spare tyre is smaller than the regular
tyre. Your vehicleβs ground clearance reduces when
the compact spare tyre is installed. Driving over road
debris or bumps could possibly damage the
underside of your vehicle.

Temporarily Repairing a Flat Tyre
If the tyre has a large cut or is otherwise severely damaged, you will need to have
the vehicle towed. If the tyre only has a small puncture, from a nail for instance, you
can use the temporary tyre repair kit so that you can drive to the nearest service
station for a more permanent repair.
The kit should not be used in the following situations.
Instead, contact a dealer or roadside assistant to have
the vehicle towed.

Until the sealant injection is complete, the pressure
shown on the pressure gauge will appear higher than
actual. After the sealant injection is complete the pressure
will drop and then begin to rise again as the tyre is
inflated with air. This is normal. To accurately measure the
air pressure using the gauge, turn the air compressor off
only after the sealant injection is complete.
u Check the air pressure gauge on the air
compressor.
u Refer to the driverβs doorjamb label for

3WARNING
Removing the radiator cap while the
engine is hot can cause the coolant to spray
out, seriously scalding you.
2. Once the engine has cooled down, inspect
the coolant level and check the cooling
system components for leaks.
u If the coolant level in the reserve tank is
low, add coolant until it reaches the
MAX mark.
u If there is no coolant in the reserve tank,
check that the radiator is cool. Cover the
radiator cap with a heavy cloth and open
