Before changing a tire, first stop your vehicle
in a safe, flat location.
1. Park the vehicle on level and stable
ground.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. On vehicles equipped with manual trans-
axle, stop the engine and move the gear-
shift lever to the “R” (Reverse) position.
On vehicles equipped with continuously
variable transmission (CVT), move the
selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position,
and stop the engine.
4. Turn on the hazard flashers and set up a
warning triangle, flashing signal light,
etc., at an adequate distance from the
vehicle, and have all your passengers
leave the vehicle.
5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when
it is raised on the jack, place chocks or
blocks (A) in front of and behind the tire
that is diagonally opposite from the tire
(B) you are changing.
6. Get the jack, bar and wheel nut wrench
ready.
(Refer to “Jack and tools” on page 8-5.)

The compact spare tire is stowed beneath the
luggage floor board of the luggage compart-
ment. It is designed to save space in the lug-
gage compartment. Its lighter weight makes it
easier to use if a flat tire occurs.
How to change a tire
WARNING
 The jack should not be used for any pur-
pose other than to change a tire.
 Never get under the vehicle or put any
portion of your body under the vehicle
while it is supported by the jack.
WARNING
 Be sure to apply chocks or blocks to the
correct tire when jacking up the vehicle. If
the vehicle moves while jacked up, the
jack could slip out of position, leading to
an accident.
NOTE
 The chocks shown in the illustration do not
come with your vehicle. It is recommended
that you purchase chocks or blocks and keep
them in the vehicle for use if needed.
 If chocks or blocks are not available, use
stones or any other objects that are large
enough to hold the wheel in position.
Spare tire information
Compact spare tire
WARNING
 Tires, including spare tire, degrade over
time with age even when they are not
being used. It is recommended that tires
over 6 years generally be replaced even if
damage is not obvious.
CAUTION
 While the compact spare tire is stowed, the
inflation pressure should be checked at least
once a month to assure that it remains at the
recommended inflation pressure. See the tire
and loading information placard attached to
the driver’s door sill. Refer to “Tire and load-
ing information placard” on page 11-2.
