If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire and wheel damage
by driving slowly to a level place and stopping. Then
do this:
1. Turn on the hazard warning flashers. See “Hazard
Warning Flashers” in the Index of the owner
manual.
2. Park the vehicle. Set the parking brake firmly and
put the shift lever in P (Park).
3. Turn off the engine.
4. Inspect the flat tire.
If the tire has been separated from the wheel, has
damaged sidewalls, or has a puncture larger than a
1
⁄
4
inch (6 mm), the tire is too severely damaged for the
tire sealant and compressor kit to be effective. See
“Roadside Service” in the Index of the owner manual.
If the tire has a puncture less than a
1
⁄
4
inch (6 mm)
in the tread area of the tire, see Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit (Without Selector Switch) on page 5-32
or Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit (With Selector
Switch) on page 5-40.
