Before you can store the spare wheel with
collapsible tire in the wheel well you have
to release the air pressure of the tire.
Follow recommend inflation pressures.
To prevent possible injury when unscrewing
air pump filler hose from tire valve after in-
flating the tire, use a rag since the tire valve
could be hot.
Do not overinflate tires. Overinflating tires
can result in sudden deflation (blowout) be-
cause they are more likely to become punc-
tured or damaged by road debris, potholes
etc.
̈ Unscrew valve stem removal tool,
which is part of the valve cap, from tire
valve.
̈ Detach the electric air pump.
̈ Reinstall tire valve cap.
̈
Using the valve stem removal tool,
open tire valve slightly by turning the
tire valve insert counterclockwise to
release air pressure.
Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated tires
wear unevenly, adversely affect handling
and fuel economy, and are more likely to fail
from being overheated.
̈
Stow the electrical plug and the air
hose behind the flap and place the air
pump back in the trunk.
̈ When the air pressure has been re-
leased, remove tire valve insert (pro-
tect it from dirt and sand) using the
previously removed tire valve cap.
Do not overload the tires by exceeding the
specified vehicle capacity weight (as indicat-
ed by the label on the pillar in the driver’s
door opening). Overloading the tires can
overheat them, possibly causing a blowout.
̈
Close the trunk lid.
̈
Once all air is out of the tire, and the
tire has collapsed to its original shape,
reinstall the tire valve insert and valve
cap.
̈
̈
Place spare wheel in wheel well and
secure it with the pump holder.
Turn pump holder clockwise to its stop.
