Flat tire
̈ Detach the electric air pump.

pump back in the trunk.
Lowering the vehicle
̈ Lower vehicle by turning crank coun-
terclockwise until the full weight of the
vehicle is resting on the ground.
̈ Pull the jack out of the jack support
tube.
1 - 5 Wheel bolts
̈ Tighten the five wheel bolts evenly, fol-
lowing the diagonal sequence illustrat-
ed (

Warning!
G
Follow recommend inflation pressures.
Do not overinflate tires. Overinflating tires
can result in sudden deflation (blowout) be-
cause they are more likely to become punc-
tured or damaged by road debris, potholes,
etc.
Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated tires
wear unevenly, adversely affect handling
and fuel economy, and are more likely to fail
from being overheated.
i
The flat tire may be transported in the
trunk when the retractable hardtop is
raised. Use the protective sheet provid-
ed with the spare wheel. Do not acti-
vate the tire inflation pressure monitor
until the deflated tire has been re-
moved from the vehicle.
