JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING

Run Flat Tires

This vehicle is equipped with run flat tires. Although the
tires are designed with a “run flat” feature that allows the
vehicle to be driven approximately 50 miles (80 km) at
55 mph (88 km/h). immediate service should be ob-
tained.

WARNING!

Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) if the “Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light” is illuminated. Vehicle
handling and braking may be reduced. You could
have an accident and be severely or fatally injured.

NOTE:

The “run flat” feature eliminates the need for a

spare tire and jack. This vehicle is not equipped with
either a spare tire or jack.

JUMP-STARTING PROCEDURES

If your vehicle has a discharged battery it can be jump-
started using a set of jumper cables and a battery in
another vehicle or by using a portable battery booster
pack. Jump-starting can be dangerous if done improperly
so please follow the procedures in this section carefully.

NOTE:

When using a portable battery booster pack

follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions and
precautions.

CAUTION!

Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any
other booster source with a system voltage greater
than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor,
alternator or electrical system may occur.
