If a tire has a small puncture, you can use the tire repair kit to temporarily repair it.
The puncture must be smaller than 3/16-inch (4 mm) and not in the tire sidewall.
Go to a dealer to have the full-size tire permanently repaired or replaced.

Before Repairing the Tire

1. Park the vehicle on firm, level, non-slippery surface.
2. Make sure the vehicle is in Park (P), and apply the electric parking brake.
3. Turn on the hazard warning lights, and turn the vehicle off.

Getting Ready to Repair the Tire

1. Open the trunk. Pull up the strap on the trunk

floor lid, and open the lid.

If equipped, turn the knob on the tool case lid
counterclockwise, and remove the cover.

2. Remove the kit.

3. Place the kit face up on flat ground near the

punctured tire and away from traffic. Do not
place the kit on its side.

4. Follow the instructions in the kit to repair the

tire.
