REPLACING FUSES
General Information
Warning!
When replacing a blown fuse, always
use an appropriate replacement fuse with
the same amp rating as the original fuse.
Never replace a fuse with another fuse of
higher amp rating. Never replace a blown
fuse with metal wires or any other material.
Failure to use proper fuses may result in
serious personal injury, fire and/or property
damage.
Before replacing a fuse, make sure that
the ignition is off and that all the other
services are switched off and/or
disengaged.
If the replaced fuse blows again, contact
an authorized dealer.
If a general protection fuse for safety
systems (air bag system, braking system),
power unit systems (engine system,
gearbox system) or steering system blows,
contact an authorized dealer.
Your vehicle's electrical system is
protected by fuses.
If any lights, accessories, or controls do
not work, inspect the appropriate circuit
protector. If a fuse has blown, the inside
element will be melted. If the same fuse
blows again, go to an Authorized Dealer
as soon as possible. Fuse location
Fuses are grouped together in two fuse
boxes located in the interior on the left
side of the vehicle and under the hood.

tire change.
If working on or near a roadway, be
extremely careful of motor traffic.
Proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the lug nuts by turning them
counterclockwise one turn each, but do
not remove any lug nuts until the tire
has been raised off the ground. 2. Place the jack under the lift point
closest to the tire being changed with
the jack head squarely under the
jack-up point.
3. Turn the jack screw in the direction
shown and adjust the jack head so that
it is close to the jack-up position.
4. Continue raising the jack head
gradually by rotating the screw with
your hand until the jack head is inserted
into the lift point.
Caution!
Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by
jacking on locations other than those

5. Insert the jack lever and attach the
lug wrench to tire jack.
Warning!
Being under a jacked-up vehicle is
dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the
jack and fall on you. You could be crushed.
Never get any part of your body under a
vehicle that is on a jack. If you need to get
under a raised vehicle, take it to a service
center where it can be raised on a lift.
6. Turn the jack handle clockwise and
raise the vehicle high enough so that
the tire is raised off the ground and can
be removed. Before removing the lug
nuts, make sure your vehicle is firmly in
position and that it cannot slip or move.
Warning!
Raising the vehicle higher than necessary
can make the vehicle less stable. It could
slip off the jack and hurt someone near it.
Raise the vehicle only enough to remove
the tire.
7. Remove the wheel nuts by turning
them counterclockwise; then remove
the wheel.Locking Lug Nuts — If Equipped
If your vehicle has optional antitheft
wheel lug nuts, one on each wheel will
lock the tires and you must use a
special key to unlock them. This key will
attach to the lug wrench.
Register them with the lock
manufacturer by filling out the card
provided in the glove compartment and
mailing it in the accompanying
envelope. If you lose this key, contact
an authorized dealer or use the lock
manufacturer's order form, which is
with the registration card.
Accessory wheel locks cannot be used
on steel wheels. This includes situations
when the spare tire is installed. If the
spare tire is installed, one of the original
lug nuts (which should still be in the
vehicle) must be installed in place of the
wheel lock.
To Remove An Antitheft Lug Nut
Proceed as follows:
1. Obtain the special key for the
antitheft lug nut.
2. Place the special key on top of the
antitheft lug nut, and be sure to hold
the key square to it. If you hold the key
at an angle, you may damage both key
and nut. Do not use a power impact
wrench.
3. Place the lug wrench on top of the
key and apply pressure. Turn the
wrench counterclockwise.

Mounting The Tire
Proceed as follows:
1. Remove dirt and grime from the
mounting surfaces of the wheel and
hub, including the hub bolts, with a
cloth.
2. Mount the tire and install the wheel
nuts with the beveled edge inward;
tighten them by hand.
Caution!
Be sure to mount the spare tire with the
valve stem facing outward. The vehicle
could be damaged if the spare tire is
mounted incorrectly.
3. Turn the lug wrench
counterclockwise and lower the vehicle.
Use the lug wrench to tighten the nuts
in the order shown.
Warning!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the
jack, do not tighten the wheel nuts fully until
the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow
this warning may result in serious injury.
4. Remove the tire blocks and store
the tools and jack.
5. Check the inflation pressure.
If in doubt about the correct tightness,
have them checked with a torque
wrench by your authorized dealer or
service station.

Sealing A Tire With Tire
Service
Warning!
Do not attempt to seal a tire on the side
of the vehicle closest to traffic. Pull far
enough off the road to avoid the danger of
being hit when using the Tire Service Kit.
Do not use Tire Service Kit or drive the
vehicle under the following circumstances:
If the puncture in the tire tread is
approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) or larger.
If the tire has any sidewall damage.
If the tire has any damage from driving
with extremely low tire pressure.
If the tire has any damage from driving
on a flat tire.
If the wheel has any damage.
If you are unsure of the condition of the
tire or the wheel.
Keep Tire Service Kit away from open
flames or heat source.
A loose Tire Service Kit thrown forward
in a collision or hard stop could endanger
the occupants of the vehicle. Always stow
the Tire Service Kit in the place provided.
Failure to follow these warnings can result
in injuries that are serious or fatal to you,
your passengers, and others around you.
Take care not to allow the contents of
Tire Service Kit to come in contact with
hair, eyes, or clothing. Tire Service Kit
sealant is harmful if inhaled, swallowed, or
absorbed through the skin. It causes skin,
eye, and respiratory irritation. Flush
immediately with plenty of water if there is
any contact with eyes or skin. Change
clothing as soon as possible, if there is any
contact with clothing.
Tire Service Kit Sealant solution contains
latex. In case of an allergic reaction or rash,
consult a physician immediately. Keep Tire
Service Kit out of reach of children. If
swallowed, rinse mouth immediately with
plenty of water and drink plenty of water.
Do not induce vomiting! Consult a
physician immediately.
U.S.A. And CANADA Markets:
Proceed as follows:
1. Pull over to a safe location and turn
on the vehicle’s hazard warning lights.
2. Verify that the valve stem (on the
wheel with the deflated tire) is in a
position that is near to the ground. This
will allow the Tire Service Kit hoses to
reach the valve stem and keep the Tire
Service Kit flat on the ground. This will
provide the best positioning of the kit
when injecting the sealant into the
deflated tire and running the air pump.
Move the vehicle as necessary to place
the valve stem in this position before
proceeding.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

3. Shift the gear selector to Reverse (R)
for a manual transmission, and shift the
gear selector to Park (P) for an
automatic transmission.
4. Apply the parking brake with the
brake pedal depressed and turn off the
engine.
5. Unload passengers and cargo and
remove the Tire Service Kit.
6. Shake the sealant bottle to mix the
contents. Then extend the injection
hose.Note:
Do not shake the bottle
excessively. Otherwise, the sealant
could spray out of the injection hose,
and if the sealant contacts clothing or
other objects, you may not be able to
remove it.
The sealant hardens easily and
injecting it will be difficult under cold
weather conditions (32 °F (0 °C) or
below). Warm the sealant inside the
vehicle to facilitate injection. 7. Pull out the air compressor hose
and the air compressor plug from the
air compressor.
8. Install the air compressor hose
which was pulled out of the air
compressor to the injection valve of the
bottle.08020202-121-003Tire Service Kit Location

Warning!
Never use the air compressor above
43.5 psi (3 Bar). Using the air compressor
at an inflation pressure above 3 Bar
(43.5 psi) continuously is dangerous. If the
air compressor overheats, hot air will be
exhausted and you could get burned.
Caution!
If the tire inflation pressure does not
increase, repair of the tire is not possible. If
the tire does not reach the specified tire
inflation pressure within 10 minutes, it may
have received extensive damage. In this
case, the repair using the tire service kit
was not successful.
Do not operate the air compressor for a
continuous 10 minutes or longer because
using it for long periods could cause a
malfunction.
13. Adhere the speed restriction sticker
to an area where it can be viewed easily
by the driver.
Warning!
Do not adhere the speed restriction sticker
to the padded area on the steering wheel.
Adhering the speed restriction sticker to
the padded area on the steering wheel is
dangerous because the air bag may not
operate (deploy) normally resulting in
serious injury. In addition, do not adhere
the sticker to areas where warning lights or
the speedometer cannot be viewed.
14. Adhere the repaired tire sticker to
the wheel of the flat tire.
15. When the tire inflates to the
specified tire inflation pressure, turn the
air compressor switch off, turn the
sleeve of the injection hose to the left,
and pull it out of the tire valve. 16. Remove the air compressor hose
from the injection valve of the bottle.
Then, install the injection hose to the
injection valve of the bottle to prevent
leakage of any remaining sealant.
Note:
The remaining sealant in the
hose may spray out when the hose is
removed. Remove the hose carefully
because you may not be able to
remove the sealant contacting clothing
or other objects.
17. Install the tire valve cap.
18. Place the Tire Service Kit back into
its storage location.
19. Start driving immediately to spread
the sealant in the tire.
Note: Carefully drive the vehicle at a
speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) or less. If
