kit is located in the storage
compartment on the driver side,
at the rear of the vehicle.
1. Press down on the latch tab and
pull the cover off to access the
storage compartment.
2. Press the two tabs on the quick
release buckle to release the
tire sealant and compressor
kit strap.
3. Remove the sealant and
compressor kit from its tray.
To store the tire sealant and

Changing a Flat Tire
If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire
and wheel damage by driving slowly
to a level place. Turn on the hazard
warning flashers. See Hazard
Warning Flashers on page 3-5.
{ CAUTION
Changing a tire can be dangerous.
The vehicle can slip off the jack
and roll over or fall on you or other
people. You and they could be
badly injured or even killed. Find
a level place to change your tire.
To help prevent the vehicle from
moving:
1. Set the parking brake firmly.
2. Put the shift lever in P (Park).
3. Turn off the engine and do
not restart while the vehicle
is raised.
4. Do not allow passengers to
remain in the vehicle.
To be even more certain the
vehicle will not move, you should
put blocks at the front and rear of
the tire farthest away from the one
being changed. That would be the
tire, on the other side, at the
opposite end of the vehicle.
