Changing a Flat Tire

Follow compact spare precautions:
Periodically check the tire pressure of the compact
spare. It should be set to the specified pressure.
Specified Pressure: 60 psi (420 kPa, 4.2 kgf/cm

)

When driving with the compact spare tire, keep the
vehicle speed under 50 mph (80 km/h). Replace with
a full-size tire as soon as possible.

The compact spare tire and wheel in your vehicle are
specifically for this model.
Do not use them with another vehicle.
Do not use another type of compact spare tire or
wheel with your vehicle.

Do not mount tire chains on a compact spare tire.
If a chain-mounted front tire goes flat, remove one of
the full-size rear tires and replace it with the compact
spare tire. Remove the flat front tire and replace it
with the full-size tire that was removed from the rear.
Mount the tire chains on the front tire.

Do not use the jack if it doesn’t work properly. Call
your dealer or a professional towing service.

Emergency Engine Stop

The ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to stop the engine due to an
emergency situation even while driving. If you must stop the engine, do either of the
following operations:
• Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for about two seconds.
• Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button three times.

The steering wheel will not lock. However, because turning off the engine disables
the power assist the engine provides to the steering and braking systems, it will
require significantly more physical effort and time to steer and slow the vehicle. Use
both feet on the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle and stop immediately in a
safe place. With manual transmission models you can also downshift the
transmission to utilize engine braking.

The power mode is in ACCESSORY when the engine is stopped.
To change the mode to VEHICLE OFF, move the shift lever to

P after the vehicle

comes to a complete stop.

Then press the ENGINE START/STOP button twice without depressing the brake
pedal.

The power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF.

Connect when using the automotive
battery charger to boost your 12-volt
battery, select a lower charging voltage
than 15-volt. Check the charger manual
for the proper setting.

3. Connect the second jumper cable to the

booster battery - terminal.

4. Connect the other end of the second

jumper cable to the stud bolt as shown. Do
not connect this jumper cable to any other
part.

5. If your vehicle is connected to another

vehicle, start the assisting vehicle’s engine
and increase its rpm slightly.

6. Attempt to start your vehicle’s engine. If it

turns over slowly, check that the jumper
cables have good metal-to-metal contact.

Jump Starting Procedure

Jump Starting

Securely attach the jumper cables clips so that they
do not come off when the engine vibrates. Also be
careful not to tangle the jumper cables or allow the
cable ends to touch each other while attaching or
detaching the jumper cables.

Battery performance degrades in cold conditions and
may prevent the engine from starting.

WARNING

A battery can explode if you do not follow
the correct procedure, seriously injuring
anyone nearby.

Keep all sparks, open flames, and smoking
materials away from the battery.
