Page: 82 / 112

When rotating your tires, always use the correct rotation
pattern shown here.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and
rear inflation pressures as shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. See
“ Loading Your Vehicle ”
in the Index of the owner manual for an example of the
label and its location on your vehicle.
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) sensors will
need to be reset after a tire rotation. See
“ TPMS Sensor
Identification Codes ” under “ Tire Pressure Monitor
Operation ” .
Make certain that all wheel nuts are properly tightened.
See
“ Wheel Nut Torque ” under “ Capacities and
Specifications ” in the Index of the owner manual.
If a Tire Goes Flat
The vehicle has a tire sealant and compressor kit. See
Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit (Without Selector
Switch) on page 6
‑ 33 or Tire Sealant and Compressor
Kit (With Selector Switch) on page 6 ‑ 43 . There is no
spare tire, no tire changing equipment, and no place to
store a tire.
It is unusual for a tire to blow out while you are driving,
especially if you maintain your tires properly. See
“ Tires ”
in the Index of the owner manual. If air goes out of a
tire, it is much more likely to leak out slowly. But, if you
should ever have a blow out, here are a few tips about
what to expect and what to do:
If a front tire fails, the flat tire will create a drag that pulls
the vehicle toward that side. Take your foot off the
accelerator pedal and grip the steering wheel firmly.
Steer to maintain lane position, and then gently brake to
a stop well out of the traffic lane.
A rear blow out, particularly on a curve, acts much like a
skid and may require the same correction you would
use in a skid. In any rear blow out, remove your foot
from the accelerator pedal. Get the vehicle under
control by steering the way you want the vehicle to go.
It may be very bumpy and noisy, but you can still steer.
Gently brake to a stop, well off the road if possible.
