If a Tyre Goes Flat
Changing 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.
1Changing a Flat Tyre
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.
Continuously variable transmission models
2. Move the shift lever to (P.
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.
Manual transmission models
2. Move the shift lever to (R.
All models
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.
3. Set the parking brake.
4. Turn on the hazard warning lights and turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0*1.
Mount the tyre chains on the front tyre.
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 vehicle’s ground clearance reduces when
the compact spare tyre is installed. Driving over road
debris or bumps could possibly damage the
underside of your vehicle.
*1: Models with the keyless access system have an ENGINE START/STOP button instead of an
ignition switch.
