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.

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)
When driving with the compact spare tyre, keep the
vehicle speed under 80 km/h. Replace with a full-size
tyre as soon as possible.
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.
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.
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.
