Maintenance
Tire and Wheel Replacement
Replace your tires with radials of the sa me size, load range, speed rating, and
maximum cold tire pressure rating (as shown on the tire’s sidewall). Using tires of a
different size or construction can cause ce rtain vehicle systems such as the ABS and
Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®) system to work incorrectly.
It is best to replace all four tires at the same time. If that isn’t possible, replace the
front or rear tires in pairs.
If you replace a wheel, only use TPMS spec ified wheels approved for your vehicle.
Make sure that the wheel’s specificati ons match those of the original wheels.1Tire and Wheel Replacement
3WARNING
Installing improper tires on your vehicle can
affect handling and stability. This can cause
a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or
killed.
Always use the size and type of tires
recommended in this owner’s manual.

uuIf a Tire Goes Flat uChanging a Flat Tire*
Handling the Unexpected
1. Remove the center cap.
2. Place the flat tire face up under the hoist.
3. Insert the hoist bracke t into the center hole
of the flat tire.
4. Turn the wheel nut wrench with the jack
handle bar (clockwise) until the flat tire rests
against the underbody of the vehicle, and
you hear the hoist click.
5. Securely store the jack, wheel nut wrench,
and jack handle bar back in the tool case.
Store the case in the cargo area.
If you replace a flat tire wi th the spare tire, the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator comes
on while you are driving. After driving for a few miles (kilometers), the indicator will
start blinking for a short time and then stay on. Tire Pressure Monitor Problem
appears on the multi-information display (MID), but this is normal.
If you replace the tire with a specified regular tire, the warning message on the MID
and the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator will go off after a few miles (kilometers).

TPMS and the Spare Tire
The system cannot monitor th e pressure of the spare
tire. Manually check the spare tire pressure to be sure
that it is correct.
Use TPMS specific wheels. Each is equipped with a
tire pressure sensor mounted inside the tire behind
the valve stem.

pressure to the specified level. The sp ecified tire pressure is on a label on
the driver side doorjamb.

Have the tire inspected by a dealer as soon as possible. If the compact
spare tire

mode in ON, while you adjust tire pressure up or
down, the system alerts you as follows:
Below recommended pressure: The beeper
sounds and exterior lights flash once every five
seconds.
At recommended pressure: The beeper sounds
and the exterior lights flash rapidly for five seconds.
Above recommended pressure: The beeper
sounds and lights flash twice every three seconds.
