WARNING
Loose items can fly around the interior
in a crash and can seriously injure the
occupants.
Store the wheel, jack, and tools securely
before driving.
Storing the Flat Tire
1. Remove the center cap and place the flat
tire face down in the spare tire well.
2. 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.
3. Securely put the jack and wheel nut
wrench back in the tool case. Store the
case in the trunk.
Storing the Flat Tire
TPMS and the Spare Tire
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. "CHECK TPMS
SYSTEM" appears on the multi-information display, but this is normal.
If you replace the tire with a specified regular tire, the warning message on the
multi-information display and the TPMS indicator will go off after a few miles
(kilometers).
TPMS and the Spare Tire
The system cannot monitor the pressure of the
spare tire. Manually check the spare tire pressure to
be sure that it is correct.
Use TPMS specific wheels. Each is equipped with a
tire pressure sensor mounted inside the tire behind
the valve stem.
