Handling the Unexpected
2. Place the flat tire face down in the spare tire
well.
3. Remove the spacer cone from the wing
bolt, flip it over, and insert it back on the
bolt. Secure the flat tire with the wing bolt.
4. Securely put the jack , wheel nut wrench
and jack handle bar back in the tool case.
Store the case in the trunk.
If you replace a flat tire with 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-informati on display, but this is normal.
If you replace the tire with a full-size tire, the warning message on the multi-
information display and the low tire pressu re/TPMS indicator will go off after a few
miles (kilometers).
