1. Remove the center cap.

2. Place the flat tire face down in the spare tire

well.

3. Remove the spacer cone from the wing

bolt, flip it over, and insert it back on the
bolt. Secure the flat tire with the wing bolt.

4. Securely store the wheel nut wrench and

jack handle bar back in the tool bag. Store
the bag in the center of the flat tire.

5. Store the jack. Turn the jack’s end bracket

to lock it in place.

If you replace a flat tire with the spare tire, the low tire pressure indicator comes on
while you are driving. After driving for a few miles (kilometers), the indicator will go
off and the TPMS indicator comes on, but this is normal.

If you replace the tire with a specified regular tire, the low tire pressure or TPMS
indicator will go off after a few miles (kilometers).

TPMS and the Spare Tire

The system cannot monitor the pressure of the spare
tire. Manually check the spare tire pressure to be sure
that it is correct.

Use TPMS specific wheels. Each is equipped with a
tire pressure sensor mounted inside the tire behind
the valve stem.
