CHANGING THE TIRES
If you get a flat tire while driving:
do not brake heavily.
gradually decrease the vehicles speed.
hold the steering wheel firmly.
slowly move to a safe place on the side of the road.
Note: The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) indicator light will
illuminate when the spare is in use. To restore the full functionality of
the monitoring system, all road wheels equipped with tire pressure
monitoring sensors must be mounted on the vehicle.
