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. Then, go to a dealer to have the full-size tire permanently repaired or replaced.

*Models with a compact spare do not include a tire repair kit.

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 parking brake.
  3. Turn on the hazard warning lights, and turn the vehicle off.

Getting Ready to Repair the Tire

  4. Follow the instructions in the kit to repair the tire.
NOTICE

Do not use an unapproved puncture-repairing agent other than the one provided in the kit that came with your vehicle. If a different agent is used, you may permanently damage the tire pressure sensor.
