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.  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.

Installing a Road Wheel
WARNING   WARNING:  Use only approved wheel and tire sizes. Using other sizes could damage your vehicle.
WARNING   WARNING:  Do not fit run flat tires on vehicles that were not originally fitted with them. See an authorized dealer for more details about compatibility.
WARNING   WARNING:  Make sure there is no grease or oil on the threads or the surface between the wheel studs and the wheel nuts. This can cause the wheel nuts to loosen while driving.
WARNING   WARNING:  Do not install alloy wheels using wheel nuts designed for use with steel wheels.
WARNING   WARNING:  Have the wheel nuts checked for tightness and the tire pressure checked as soon as possible.

Note:   Make sure the wheel and hub contact surfaces are free from foreign matter.
Note:   Make sure the cones on the lug nuts are against the wheel.
  1. Install the wheel.
  1. Install the lug nuts and finger tighten.
  1. Install the locking lug nut key.
Tightening the Wheel Locking Nuts
  1. Lower your vehicle and remove the vehicle jack.
  1. Fully tighten all of the lug nuts in the sequence shown.   See   Wheel Nuts. 
Stowing the Flat or Spare Tire
  1. Lay the tire on the ground, near the rear of the vehicle, with the valve stem side facing up.
  1. Slide the wheel partially under the vehicle and install the retainer through the wheel center. If equipped, you may have to remove the wheel center cap prior to pushing the retainer through the center of the wheel. To remove the center cap, press it off with the jack tool from the inner side of the wheel. Pull on the cable to align the components at the end of the cable.
  1. Insert the handle into the guide hole and engage the winch.
  1. Turn the swivel wrench clockwise until the tire is raised to its stowed position underneath the vehicle. The wrench becomes harder to turn and the spare tire winch ratchets or slips when the tire is raised to its maximum tightness. A clicking sound is heard from the winch indicating the tire is properly stowed.
Note:   Before stowing the tire in its final position make sure the tether cable is not pinched between the tire and the frame crossmember and it can be moved freely.
Note:   Three clicks should be sufficient for spare wheel stowage.
  1. Carefully place all tools back to the tool kit bag.
  1. Reinstall the tool kit bag in the original position.
  1. Reinstall the jack properly on the bracket and secure the wing nut.
  1. Unblock the wheel. Place the warning triangle back in the vehicle.
Note:   Do not use power tools on the spare wheel winch input drive.
Note:   Only use the spare tire carrier to stow the tire and wheel combination provided with your vehicle. Other tire and wheel combinations can cause the tire carrier to fail.
