CHANGING A FLAT TIRE -
EXCLUDING: RAPTOR
If you get a flat tire when driving, do not
apply the brake heavily. Instead, gradually
decrease your speed, hold the steering
wheel firmly and slowly move to a safe
place on the side of the road.
Have the flat serviced by an authorized
dealer to prevent damage to the system
sensors. See Tire Pressure Monitoring
System Precautions (page 453). Replace
the spare tire with a road tire as soon as
possible. During repairing or replacing the
flat tire, have the authorized dealer inspect
the system sensor for damage.
Note: The use of tire sealant could damage
your tire pressure monitoring system and
should only be used in roadside
emergencies.
Note: The tire pressure monitoring system
indicator light illuminates when the spare
tire is in use. To restore the full function of
the monitoring system, all road wheels
equipped with tire pressure monitoring
sensors must be mounted on this vehicle.
