Tire Repair

Kit*

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, and non-slippery surface.
  2. Change the gear to Park (P), and apply the parking brake.
  3. Turn on the hazard warning lights and turn the vehicle off.

Getting Ready to Repair the Tire

  1. Pull the handle on the cargo area floor lid and open the lid.
     
  2. Remove the cargo floor box.
     
  3. Remove the kit from the case.
