CHANGING A FLAT TIRE

If you get a flat tire while driving:

• do not brake heavily.

• gradually decrease the vehicle’s speed.

• hold the steering wheel firmly.

• slowly move to a safe place on the side of the road.

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). This temporary spare tire is

not equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) sensor.

Note: The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) indicator light will

illuminate when the spare is in use. To restore the full functionality of

the TPMS system, all road wheels equipped with the tire pressure

monitoring sensors must be mounted on the vehicle.

Have a flat tire serviced by an authorized dealer in order to prevent

damage to the TPMS sensor, refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System

(TPMS) in the Tires, Wheels, and Loading chapter. Replace the spare

tire with a road tire as soon as possible. During repairing or replacing of

the flat tire, have the authorized dealer inspect the TPMS sensor for

damage.

The use of tire sealants may damage your Tire Pressure

Monitoring System and should only be used if it is supplied with

your vehicle as part of the original temporary mobility kit.

Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in the Tire,

Wheels and Loading chapter for important information. If the

tire pressure monitor sensor becomes damaged, it will no longer

function.

Dissimilar spare tire/wheel information

Failure to follow these guidelines could result in an increased

risk of loss of vehicle control, injury or death.
