Adjust tire pressure to the COLD pressure.

COLD pressure: After vehicle has been
parked for three hours or more or driven
less than 1 mile (1.6 km).

COLD tire pressures are shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label affixed to
the driver side center pillar.

After adjusting tire pressure to the COLD
tire pressure, the display of the tire pres-
sure information may show higher pres-
sure than the COLD tire pressure after the
vehicle has been driven more than 1 mile
(1.6 km). This is because the tire pressure
increases as the tire temperature rises.
This does not indicate a system malfunc-
tion.

5. Securely store the flat tire and jacking equip-

ment in the vehicle.

WARNING

Always make sure that the spare tire

and jacking equipment are properly se-

cured after use. Such items can become

dangerous projectiles in an accident or

sudden stop.

The spare tire is designed for emer-

gency use. See specific instructions un-

der the heading “Wheels and tires” in

the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself”

section of this manual.

To start your engine with a booster battery, the

instructions and precautions below must be fol-

lowed.

WARNING

If done incorrectly, jump starting can

lead to a battery explosion, resulting in

severe injury or death. It could also

damage your vehicle.

Explosive hydrogen gas is always

present in the vicinity of the battery.

Keep all sparks and flames away from

the battery.

Do not allow battery fluid to come into

contact with eyes, skin, clothing or

painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a cor-

rosive sulfuric acid solution which can

cause severe burns. If the fluid should

come into contact with anything, imme-

diately flush the contacted area with

water.

Keep battery out of the reach of

children.

The booster battery must be rated at 12

volts. Use of an improperly rated battery

can damage your vehicle.
