Tires

The front and rear tire pressure specifica-
tions are listed on the tire information label.
Both front and rear tires should have the
specified tire pressure.
Note that the value does not apply to the
compact spare tire, if equipped.
NOTE:
The tire inflation pressure will change due
to changes in atmospheric pressure, tem-
perature or tire temperature when driving.
To reduce the chance that the low tire
pressure warning light (if equipped) will
come on due to normal changes in tem-
perature and atmospheric pressure, it is
important to check and adjust the tire pres-
sures when the tires are cold. If you check
tires after driving, they are warm. Even ifthe tire pressure seems to be good in this
condition, it could fall below the specified
pressure when tires cool down. Also, tires
that are inflated to the specified pressure
in a warm garage may have pressure
below the specification when the vehicle is
driven outside in very cold temperature. If
you adjust the tire pressure in a garage
that is warmer than the outside tempera-
ture, you should add 1 kPa to the recom-
mended cold tire inflation pressure for
every 0.8°C difference between garage
temperature and outside temperature.
Tire inspection
Inspect your vehicle’s tires at least once a
month by performing the following checks:
1) Measure the air pressure with a tire
gauge. Adjust the pressure if neces-
sary. Remember to check the spare
tire, too.
EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
• Air pressures should be checked
when the tires are cold or you may
get inaccurate readings.
• Check the inflation pressure from
time to time while inflating the tire
gradually, until the specified pres-
sure is obtained.
• Never under-inflate or over-inflate
the tires.
Under-inflation can cause unusual
handling characteristics or can
cause the rim to slip on the tire
bead, resulting in an accident or
damage to the tire or rim.
Over-inflation can cause the tire to
burst, resulting in personal injury.
Over-inflation can also cause
unusual handling characteristics
which may result in an accident.

Tire rotation
4-tire rotation
54G114
To avoid uneven wear of your tires and to
prolong their life, rotate the tires as illus-
trated. Tires should be rotated every 10000
km (6000 miles). After rotation, adjust front
and rear tire pressures to the specification
listed on your vehicle’s tire information
label.
NOTE:
(For Mexico)
For additional instruction, refer to “SUP-
PLEMENT” section in the end of this book.
Compact spare tire (if equipped)
54G115
(1) Wear indicator
(2) Indicator location mark
Your vehicle comes equipped with a com-
pact spare tire. It is designed to save
space in your storage area, and its lighter
weight facilitates installing the spare tire
when getting a flat tire. It is only intended
for temporary emergency use, until the
conventional tire can be repaired or
replaced. The inflation pressure of the
compact spare tire should be checked at
least once a month. Use a quality pocket-
type inflation pressure gauge and set at
420 kPa (60 psi). At the same time, check
that the tire is stored securely. If it is not,
tighten it.Note that two or more compact spare tires
should not be used on one vehicle simulta-
neously.
WA R N I N G
The compact spare tire and wheel are
intended for temporary emergency
use only. Continuous use of this
spare can result in tire failure and
loss of control. Always observe these
precautions when using this spare:
• Your vehicle should be handled in a
different way when using this
spare.
• Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph).
• Replace this spare with a standard
tire and wheel as soon as possible.
• Use of this spare will reduce
ground clearance.
• Recommended air pressure for this
spare is 420 kPa (60 psi).
• Do not use tire chains on the com-
pact spare. If you must use tire
chains, rearrange the wheels so
standard tires and wheels are fitted
to the front axle.
• The compact spare tire has a much
shorter tread life than the conven-
tional tires on your vehicle.
Replace the tire as soon as the
tread wear indicator appears.
• When replacing the compact spare
tire, use a replacement tire with the
exact same size and construction.

1) Place the vehicle on level, hard ground.
2) Set the parking brake firmly and shift
into “R” (Reverse).

WA R N I N G
After using the tire changing tools,
stow them securely or they can
cause injury if an accident occurs.
CAUTION
The jack should be used only to
change wheels. It is important to read
the jacking instructions in this sec-
tion before attempting to use the
jack.
(1)
WA R N I N G
• Shift into “R” (Reverse) when you
jack up the vehicle.
• Never jack up the vehicle with the
transaxle in “N” (Neutral). Other-
wise, unstable jack may cause an
accident.

3) Turn on the hazard warning flasher if
your vehicle is near traffic.
4) Block the front and rear of the wheel
diagonally opposite of the wheel being
lifted.
5) Place the spare wheel near the wheel
being lifted as shown in the illustration
in case the jack slips.

6) Position the jack at an angle as shown
in the illustration and raise the jack by
turning the jack handle clockwise until
the jack-head groove fits around the
jacking bar beneath the vehicle body.7) Continue to raise the jack slowly and
smoothly until the tire clears the
ground. Do not raise the vehicle more
than necessary.
WA R N I N G
• Use the jack only to change wheels
on level, hard ground.
• Never jack up the vehicle on an
inclined surface.
• Never raise the vehicle with the
jack in a location other than the
specified jacking point (shown in
the illustration) near the wheel to
be changed.
• Check that the jack is raised at
least 25 mm (1 inch) before it con-
tacts the flange. Use of the jack
when it is within 25 mm (1 inch) of
being fully collapsed may result in
failure of the jack.
• Never get under the vehicle when it
is supported by the jack.
• Never run the engine when the
vehicle is supported by the jack
and never allow passengers to
remain in the vehicle.

Some child restraint systems require the
use of a top tether strap. Top tether
anchorage brackets are provided in your
vehicle at the locations shown in the illus-
tration. The number of the top tether
anchorage brackets provided in your vehi-
cle depends on the vehicle specification. Tire size T135/90R16 102M

child restraints. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used for adult
seat belts, harnesses or for attaching
other items or equipment to the vehi-
cle.EXAMPLEFront
