Vehicle Care 149
If the vehicle is equipped with tire pressure
monitoring system, after tire rotation or tire
replacement, see your dealer to relearn the
tire pressure.
Caution
Using the wrong replacement wheels or
wheel bolts on your vehicle can be
dangerous. It could affect the braking and
handling of the vehicle, make the tires
lose air and make you lose control of the
vehicle. You could have a crash in which
you or others could be injured. Always
use the correct wheel and wheel bolts for
replacement.
Tire Chains
Tire chains are only used for emergencies or
in areas clearly defined by law and should
be installed on the drive wheels. Be
especially careful when driving the vehicle
equipped with tire chains. Compared with
tires without tire chains, when tires are
installed with tire chains, the
maneuverability of the vehicle is poor, and
the tire chain may damage the vehicle tire,
suspension or vehicle body. Therefore, use
cable tire chains as far as possible to ensure
enough space between the tire and other
parts in the wheel casing. When using tire
chains, carefully read the installation and
other related instructions of the tire chain
manufacturer.
After installation of tire chains, it is
suggested to drive the vehicle at the speed
of below 30 km/h or the limited speed
recommended by the tire chain
manufacturer (whichever is smaller).
Tire Repair Kit
The spare tire, jack and tools are under the
luggage compartment and can be seen after
raising the luggage compartment floor.
In-vehicle tools include jack rocker, socket
wrench, screwdriver (if equipped).
Spare Tire
Although the spare tire has been inflated, it
will leak after a period of time. The inflation
pressure shall be checked regularly.
Refer to the tire load information label for
the correct inflation pressure.
Do not use your spare tire for other
vehicles. Do not mix your spare tires or
wheels with wheels or tires of other vehicles
since they are not matched. Your spare tire
should be put together with its wheel.
CAUTION
Do not use tire chains on spare tires.
They may not be suitable for spare tires
and can damage your vehicle.
