If you have a flat tire, follow the instructions below:
Stopping the vehicle

away from traffic.
- Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
- Park on a level surface and apply the parking
brake. Shift the manual transmission into R
(Reverse), or the CVT into P (Park).
- Turn off the engine.
- Raise the hood to warn other traffic and to
signal professional road assistance personnel
that you need assistance.
- Have all passengers get out of the vehicle
and stand in a safe place, away from traffic
and clear of the vehicle.
WARNING
- Make sure the parking brake is securely
applied and the manual transmission is
shifted into R (Reverse), or the CVT is

- Never change tires when the vehicle is
on a slope, ice or slippery areas. This is
hazardous.
- Never change tires if oncoming traffic is
close to your vehicle. Wait for professional
road assistance.

Blocking wheels
Place suitable blocks 1 at both the front and
back of the wheel diagonally opposite the flat tire
2 to prevent the vehicle from moving when it is
jacked up.
WARNING Be sure to block the wheel as the vehicle
may move and result in personal injury. |
Getting the spare tire and tools
- Open the trunk. Lift the trunk floor carpeting
and spare tire cover A . Remove the jack
and the spare tire as indicated.
- To remove the jack, take off the strap and lift
out. If necessary, remove the spare tire first
to easily access the jack strap.
Removing the wheel cover (if so equipped)
CAUTION
Do not use your hands to pry off wheel
caps or wheel covers. Doing so could result
in personal injury.
To remove the wheel cover, use the jack rod 1
as illustrated.
Apply cloth 2 between the wheel and jack rod to
prevent damaging the wheel and wheel cover.
Use caution not to scratch the wheel cover or
wheel surface.
Jacking up vehicle and removing the damaged tire
Jacking up vehicle and removing the
damaged tire
WARNING
- Never get under the vehicle while it is
supported only by the jack. If it is necessary
to work under the vehicle, support
it with safety stands.
- Use only the jack provided with your
vehicle to lift the vehicle. Do not use the
jack provided with your vehicle on other
vehicles. The jack is designed for lifting
only your vehicle during a tire change.
- Use the correct jack-up points. Never
use any other part of the vehicle for jack
support.
- Never jack up the vehicle more than
necessary.
- Never use blocks on or under the jack.
- Do not start or run the engine while
vehicle is on the jack. It may cause the
vehicle to move. This is especially true
for vehicles with limited slip
differentials.
- Do not allow passengers to stay in the
vehicle while it is on the jack.
- Never run the engine with a wheel(s) off
the ground. It may cause the vehicle to
move.

Always refer to the proper illustrations for the
correct placement and jack-up points for your
specific vehicle model and jack type.
Carefully read the caution label attached to
the jack body and the following instructions.
- Loosen each wheel nut one or two turns by
turning counterclockwise with the wheel nut
wrench. Do not remove the wheel nuts
until the tire is off the ground.
- Place the jack directly under the jack-up
point as illustrated so the top of the jack
contacts the vehicle at the jack-up point.
Align the jack head between the two
notches in the front or the rear as shown.
Also fit the groove of the jack head between
the notches as shown.
The jack should be used on firm and
level ground.
- To lift the vehicle, securely hold the jack lever
and rod with both hands. Carefully raise the
vehicle until the tire clears the ground. Remove
the wheel nuts, and then remove the
tire.
Installing the spare tire
The spare tire is designed for emergency
use. See specific instructions under the
heading “Wheels and tires” in the “Maintenance
and do-it-yourself” section of this
manual.
- Clean any mud or dirt from the surface between
the wheel and hub.
- Carefully put the spare tire on and tighten
the wheel nuts finger tight.
- With the wheel nut wrench, tighten wheel
nuts alternately and evenly as illustrated until
they are tight.
- Lower the vehicle slowly until the tire
touches the ground. Then, with the wheel
nut wrench, tighten the wheel nuts securely
in the sequence illustrated ( A , B , C , D ,
E ). Lower the vehicle completely.
As soon as possible, tighten the wheel nuts
to the specified torque with a torque
wrench.
Wheel nut tightening torque:
83 ft-lb (113 N·m)
The wheel nuts must be kept tightened to
specification at all times. It is recommended
that wheel nuts be tightened to
specification at each lubrication interval.
Adjust tire pressure to the COLD pressure.
COLD pressure: After vehicle has been
parked for three hours or more or driven
less than 1 mile (1.6 km).
COLD tire pressures are shown on the Tire
and Loading Information Label.

- Install the jack in its storage area and tighten
the jack strap .

carpeting over the damaged tire.

and jacking equipment are properly secured
after use. Such items can become
dangerous projectiles in an accident or
sudden stop.
