Changing a Flat

Tire

If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually to reduce speed. Then, stop in a safe place. Replace the flat tire with the compact spare tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the full-size tire repaired or replaced.

Getting Ready to Change the Tire

Park the vehicle on a firm, level, non-slippery surface. Apply the electric parking brake, select Park (P), and turn the vehicle off. Turn on the hazard warning lights.

  1. Remove the floor mat under the second-row seat and pull up the carpet. Remove the floor lid.
  2. Remove the tool case, unscrew the wing bolt, and remove the spare tire.
     
     
  3. Place the compact spare tire (wheel side up) under the vehicle body, near the tire that needs to be replaced.
  4. Loosen each wheel nut about one turn using the wheel nut wrench.
     
     

Setting Up the Jack

  1. Place the jack under the jacking point closest to the tire to be changed.
  2. Turn the end bracket (as shown in the image) clockwise until the top of the jack contacts the jacking point. Make sure that the jacking point tab is resting in the jack notch.
     
     
  3. Raise the vehicle, using the jack handle bar and the jack handle, until the tire is off the ground.
WARNING

The vehicle can easily roll off the jack, seriously injuring anyone underneath.

Follow the directions for changing a tire exactly and never get under the vehicle when it is supported only by the jack.

The following instructions must be followed to use the jack safely:

  • Do not use the jack with people or luggage in the vehicle.
  • Use the jack provided in your vehicle. Other jacks may not support the weight ("load") or fit the jacking point.
  • Do not use while the engine is running.
  • Use only where the ground is firm and level.
  • Use only at the jacking points.
  • Do not get in the vehicle while using the jack.
  • Do not put anything on top of or underneath the jack.

Models with power sliding doors

  • If the main switch is on, the power sliding door may accidentally operate, causing an accident.
