Maintenance
Tire and Wheel Replacement
Replace your tires with radials of the sa me size, load range, speed rating, and
maximum cold tire pressure ra ting (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
TM (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.
Whenever you have a tire replaced or reset, make sure that the rubber valve stem is
replaced and that the TPMS sensor is trans ferred from the old valve stem to the new
one.
If you replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel’s specifications match those of the
original wheels.

Installing improper tires on your vehicle can
affect handling and stability. This can cause

killed.

recommended in this owner’s manual.

Handling the Unexpected
If the Low Tire Pressure/TPMS Indicator Comes On or
Blinks
■Reasons for the indicator to come on or blink
A tire pressure is significantly low.
If there is a problem with the TPMS, the indicator blinks for about one
minute, and then stays on.
If the compact spare tire
* is installed, the indicator will either come on or
it will first blink for abou t one minute, then stay on.
■What to do when the indicator comes on
Drive carefully and avoid abrupt cornering and hard braking.
Stop your vehicle in a safe place. Ch eck the tire pressure and adjust the
pressure to the specified level. The sp ecified tire pressure is on a label on
the driver side doorjamb.
If the compact spare tire
* causes the indicator to come on, change the
tire to a full-size tire.
■What to do when the indicator blinks
Have the tire inspected by a dealer as soon as possible. If the compact
spare tire
* causes the indicator to first b link, and then stay on, change
the tire to a full-size tire. The indi cator goes off after driving for a few
miles (kilometers).
