10% neutral soap solution. Then buff it with a clean, dry cloth. Remove any dust or
dirt on leather surfaces immediately.

Handling the Unexpected
If a Tire Goes FlatTemporarily Repairing a Flat TireIf the tire has a large cut or is otherwise severely damaged, you will need to have the
vehicle towed. If the tire only has a small puncture, from a nail for instance, you can

for a more permanent repair.
If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually
to reduce speed. Then stop in a safe place.
1.Park the vehicle on a firm, level, and non-slippery surface and apply the parking
brake.
2.Move the shift lever to

3.Turn on the hazard warning lights and set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF
(LOCK).

on the brake pedal, if necessary, to slow the vehicle and stop immediately in a
safe place.
