CHANGING THE TIRES
If you get a flat tire while driving, do not apply the brake heavily.
Instead, gradually decrease your speed. Hold the steering wheel firmly
and slowly move to a safe place on the side of the road.

The use of tire sealants may damage your tires. The use of tire
sealants may also damage your tire pressure monitoring system

(if equipped).

Your vehicle may be equipped with a conventional spare tire that is
different in one or more of the following: type, brand, size, speed rating
and tread design. If this is the case, this dissimilar spare tire is still rated
for your vehicle loads (GAWR and GVWR). Your vehicle is equipped with
a spare wheel that does not match the road wheels and is not equipped
with a Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) sensor.

Spare tire information
Note:
If your vehicle is equipped with the tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS), the system indicator light will illuminate when the spare
is in use. To restore the full functionality of the monitoring system, all
road wheels equipped with tire pressure monitoring sensors must be
mounted on the vehicle
If your vehicle is equipped with TPMS, have a flat tire serviced by a
dealer or qualified technician in order to prevent damage to the TPMS
sensor. Replace the spare tire with a road tire as soon as possible.
Location of the spare tire and tools
The spare tire and tools for your vehicle are stowed in the following
locations:
