wheel firmly. Steer to maintain
lane position, and then gently
brake to a stop, well off the
road, if possible.
A rear blowout, particularly on
a curve, acts much like a skid
and may require the same
correction as used in a skid.
Stop pressing the accelerator
pedal and steer to straighten
the vehicle. It may be very
bumpy and noisy. Gently brake
to a stop, well off the road,
if possible.
The vehicle has no spare tire,
no tire changing equipment,
and no place to store a tire.
If the vehicle has run-flat tires,
there is no need to stop on
the side of the road to change
a flat tire. See Run-Flat Tires
0415.
If the vehicle has self-sealing
tires, see Self-Sealing Tires
0 415. Tread punctures
typically will not cause tires to
lose air. However, if the vehicle
does get a flat tire, there is no
spare tire, tire changing equipment, or place to store a
tire. Contact Roadside
Assistance for help.
{Warning
Driving on a flat tire will
cause permanent damage to
the tire. Re-inflating a tire
after it has been driven on
while severely underinflated
or flat may cause a blowout
and a serious crash. Never
attempt to re-inflate a tire
that has been driven on
while severely underinflated
or flat. Have your dealer or
an authorized tire service
center repair or replace the
flat tire as soon as possible.
{Warning
Special tools and
procedures are required to
service a run-flat tire.
If these special tools and
procedures are not used,

Warning (Continued)
injury or vehicle damage may
occur. Always be sure the
proper tools and
procedures, as described in
the service manual,
are used.
If a tire goes flat, avoid further
tire and wheel damage by
driving slowly to a level place,
well off the road, if possible.
Turn on the hazard warning
flashers. See Hazard Warning
Flashers 0149.
This vehicle may come with a
tire sealant and compressor
kit. To use the tire sealant and
compressor kit, see Tire
Sealant and Compressor Kit
0 439.

Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit
{Warning
Idling a vehicle in an
enclosed area with poor
ventilation is dangerous.
Engine exhaust may enter
the vehicle. Engine exhaust
contains carbon monoxide
(CO) which cannot be seen
or smelled. It can cause
unconsciousness and even
death. Never run the engine
in an enclosed area that has
no fresh air ventilation. For
more information, see
Engine Exhaust0271.
{Warning
Overinflating a tire could
cause the tire to rupture
and you or others could be
injured. Be sure to read and
follow the tire sealant and
compressor kit instructions
and inflate the tire to its
recommended pressure. Do
not exceed the
recommended pressure.
{Warning
Storing the tire sealant and
compressor kit or other
equipment in the passenger
compartment of the vehicle
could cause injury. In a
sudden stop or collision,
loose equipment could strike
someone. Store the tire
sealant and compressor kit
in its original location. If this vehicle has a tire sealant
and compressor kit, there may
not be a spare tire or tire
changing equipment, and on
some vehicles there may not
be a place to store a tire.
The tire sealant and
compressor can be used to
temporarily seal punctures up
to 6 mm (0.25 in) in the tread
area of the tire. It can also be
used to inflate an
underinflated tire.
If the tire has been separated
from the wheel, has damaged
sidewalls, or has a large
puncture, the tire is too
severely damaged for the tire
sealant and compressor kit to
be effective. See Roadside
Assistance Program
0487.
Read and follow all of the tire
sealant and compressor kit
instructions.

glass cleaner after cleaning
with plain water.
Caution
To prevent scratching, never
use abrasive cleaners on
automotive glass. Abrasive
cleaners or aggressive
cleaning may damage the
rear window defogger.
Cleaning the windshield with
water during the first three to
six months of ownership will
reduce tendency to fog.
Speaker Covers
Vacuum around a speaker
cover gently, so that the
speaker will not be damaged.
Clean spots with water and
mild soap.
Coated Moldings
Coated moldings should be
cleaned.
.When lightly soiled, wipe
with a sponge or soft,
lint-free cloth dampened
with water.
.When heavily soiled, use
warm soapy water.
Vinyl/Rubber
If equipped with vinyl floor and
rubber floor mats, use a soft

loose dirt. For more thorough
cleaning, use a mild soap and
water solution.
{Warning
Do not use cleaners that
contain silicone, wax-based
products, or cleaners that
increase gloss on vinyl/
rubber floor and mats.
These cleaners can
permanently change the
appearance and feel of the
vinyl/rubber and can make
the floor slippery. Your foot
could slip while operating
the vehicle, and you could
lose control, resulting in a
crash. You or others could
be injured.
Fabric/Carpet/Suede
