Changing a Flat Tire
If you have an STS-V model, there is no spare tire and
no tire changing equipment. Your vehicle is equipped
with run-flat tires. See Run-Flat Tires (STS-V) on
page 5-65 for more information. If you have an STS
model, your vehicle may be equipped with a tire inflator
kit. See Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit on page 5-87
for more information. If your vehicle is not equipped
with a tire inflator kit, follow the directions for changing a
flat tire in this section.
If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire and wheel damage
by driving slowly to a level place. Turn on your vehicle’s
hazard warning flashers. See Hazard Warning Flashers
on page 3-6 for more information.
