If a Tire Goes Flat  
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 a compact  
spare tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the full-size tire repaired or  
replaced.  
1Changing a Flat Tire  
Periodically check the tire pressure of the compact  
spare. It should be set to the specified pressure.  
Specified Pressure: 60 psi (420 kPa, 4.2 kgf/cm2)  
When driving with the compact spare tire, keep the  
vehicle speed under 50 mph (80 km/h). Replace with  
a full-size tire as soon as possible.  
1. Park the vehicle on firm, level, and non-slippery and apply the parking brake.  
2. Move the shift lever to (P  
.
3. Turn on the hazard warning lights and turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0*1  
.
The compact spare tire and wheel in your vehicle are  
specifically for this model. Do not use them with  
another vehicle. Do not use another type of compact  
spare tire or wheel with your vehicle.  
Do not mount tire chains on a compact spare tire.  
If a chain-mounted front tire goes flat, remove one of  
the full-size rear tires and replace it with the compact  
spare tire. Remove the flat front tire and replace it  
with the full-size tire that was removed from the rear.  
Mount the tire chains on the front tire.  
*1: Models with the smart entry system have an ENGINE START/STOP button  
instead of an ignition switch.

The ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to stop the engine due to an  
emergency situation even while driving. If you must stop the engine, do either of the  
following operations:  
Do not press the button while driving unless it is  
absolutely necessary for the engine to be switched  
off.  
Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for about two seconds.  
Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button twice.  
The steering wheel will not lock. However, because turning off the engine disables  
the power assist the engine provides to the steering and braking systems, it will  
require significantly more physical effort and time to steer and slow the vehicle. Use  
both feet on the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle and stop immediately in a  
safe place.  
The power mode is in ACCESSORY when the engine is stopped.  
To change the mode to VEHICLE OFF, change the gear position to (P after the

the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground. This is an acceptable way to  
tow your vehicle.  
Never tow your vehicle with just a rope or chain.
