Compact Spare Tire
Use the compact spare tire as a
temporary replacement only. Get
your regular tire repaired or replaced,
and put it back on your vehicle as
soon as you can.
Do not mount snow chains on the
compact spare tire.
INDICATOR LOCATION MARK
Do not use your compact spare
tire on another vehicle unless it is
the same make and model.
Check the air pressure of the
compact spare tire every time you
check the other tires. It should be
inflated to:
The low tire pressure indicator
comes on and stays on after you
replace the flat tire with the
compact spare tire. After several
miles (kilometers) driving with the
compact spare tire, the TPMS
indicator comes on and the low
tire pressure indicator goes off.
60 psi (420 kPa , 4.2 kgf/cm )
TREAD WEAR INDICATOR BAR
Follow these precautions:
Replace the tire when you can see
the tread wear indicator bars. The
replacement should be the same size
and design tire, mounted on the
same wheel. The spare tire is not
designed to be mounted on a regular
wheel, and the spare wheel is not
designed for mounting a regular tire.
Never exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
This tire gives a harsher ride and
less traction on some road
surfaces. Use greater caution
while driving.

Changing a Flat Tire
If you have a flat tire while driving,
stop in a safe place to change it.
Drive slowly along the shoulder until
you get to an exit or an area to stop
that is far away from the traffic lanes.
SPARE TIRE
STRAP
The vehicle can easily roll off
the jack, seriously injuring
anyone underneath.
TOOLS
FLOOR LID
JACK
Follow the directions for
changing a tire exactly, and
never get under the vehicle
when it is supported only by the
jack.
2. Turn on the hazard warning lights,
and turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK (0) position. Have all
passengers get out of the vehicle
while you change the tire.
3. Open the tailgate. Raise the cargo
area floor lid by lifting up with the
strap, and remove it from cargo
area by disengaging the tabs.
When you store the flat tire in the
spare tire well, do not reinstall the
cargo area floor lid forcibly. This
will damage the tabs on the lid.
1. Park the vehicle on firm, level, and
non-slippery ground. Put the
transmission in Park. Apply the
parking brake.
If you are towing a trailer, unhitch
the trailer.
4. Take the tool kit out of the spare
tire.

If the Engine Won’t Start
Diagnosing why the engine won’t
start falls into two areas, depending
on what you hear when you turn the
ignition switch to the START (III)
position:
Nothing Happens or the Starter
Motor Operates Very Slowly
When you turn the ignition switch to
the START (III) position, you do not
hear the normal noise of the engine
trying to start. You may hear a
clicking sound, a series of clicks, or
nothing at all.
Turn the ignition switch to the
START (III) position. If the
headlights do not dim, check the
condition of the fuses. If the fuses
are OK, there is probably
something wrong with the
You hear nothing, or almost
nothing. The engine’s starter
motor does not operate at all, or
operates very slowly.
electrical circuit for the ignition
switch or starter motor. You will
need a qualified technician to
determine the problem. See
Emergency Towing on page 403 .
Check these things:
Check the transmission interlock.
The transmission must be in Park
or neutral or the starter will not
operate.
You can hear the starter motor
operating normally, or the starter
motor sounds like it is spinning
faster than normal, but the engine
does not start up and run.
If the headlights dim noticeably or
go out when you try to start the
engine, either the battery is
discharged or the connections are
corroded. Check the condition of the
battery and terminal connections
(see page 376 ). You can then try
jump starting the vehicle from a
booster battery (see page 390 ).
Turn the ignition switch to the ON
(II) position. Turn on the
headlights, and check their
brightness. If the headlights are
very dim or do not come on at all,
the battery is discharged. See
Jump Starting on page 390 .

If the Engine Won’t Start
The Starter Operates Normally
In this case, the starter motor’s
speed sounds normal, or even faster
than normal, when you turn the
ignition switch to the START (III)
position, but the engine does not run.
Do you have fuel? Check the fuel
gauge; the low fuel indicator may
not be working.
There may be an electrical
problem, such as no power to the
fuel pump. Check all the fuses
(see page 397 ).
Are you using a properly coded
key? An improperly coded key will
cause the immobilizer system
indicator in the instrument panel
to blink rapidly (see page 63 ).
If you find nothing wrong, you will
need a qualified technician to find
the problem. See Emergency
Towing on page 403 .
Are you using the proper starting
procedure? Refer to Starting the
Engine on page 314 .

Jump Starting
Although this seems like a simple
procedure, you should take several
precautions.
To Jump Start Your Vehicle:
1. Open the hood, and check the
physical condition of the battery.
In very cold weather, check the
condition of the electrolyte. If it
seems slushy or frozen, do not try
jump starting until it thaws.
A battery can explode if you do
not follow the correct procedure,
seriously injuring anyone
nearby.
If a battery sits in extreme cold, the
electrolyte inside can freeze.
Attempting to jump start with a frozen
battery can cause it to rupture.
Keep all sparks, open flames,
and smoking materials away
from the battery.
BOOSTER BATTERY
The numbers in the illustration show
you the order to connect the jumper
cables.
2. Turn off all the electrical acces-
sories: heater, A/C, climate
control, audio system, lights, etc.
Put the transmission in Park, and
set the parking brake.
You cannot start your vehicle by
pushing or pulling it.
3. Connect one jumper cable to the
positive (＋) terminal on your
battery. Connect the other end to
the positive (＋) terminal on the
booster battery.
