WARNING
IThe TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare
tire should be used only for emer-
gency. It should be replaced by the
standard tire at the first opportunity.
IDrive carefully while the TEMPO-
RARY USE ONLY spare tire is in-
stalled.
Avoid sharp turns and abrupt braking
while driving.
IPeriodically check the TEMPORARY
USE ONLY spare tire inflation pres-
sure, and always keep it at 28 psi (190
kPa, 1.9 bar).
IAlways keep the pressure of the full
size spare tire (if so equipped) at the
recommended pressure for standard
tires, as indicated on the tire placard.
For tire placard location, see ªTire
placardº in the ª10. Technical and
consumer informationº section.
IDo not drive your vehicle at speeds
faster than 50 MPH (80 km/h).IWhen driving on roads covered with
snow or ice, the small size spare tire
should be used on the rear wheel and
the original tire used on the front
wheels (drive wheels). Use tire chains
only on the front two original tires.
ITire tread of the TEMPORARY USE
ONLY spare tire will wear at a faster
rate than the original tire. Replace the
TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire as
soon as the tread wear indicators
appear.
IDo not use the TEMPORARY USE
ONLY spare tire on other vehicles.
IDo not use more than one TEMPO-
RARY USE ONLY spare tire at the
same time.
IDo not tow a trailer while the TEMPO-
RARY USE ONLY spare tire is in-
stalled.
CAUTION
IDo not use tire chains on a TEMPO-
RARY USE ONLY spare tire. Tire
chains will not fit properly on the
TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire
and may cause damage to the ve-
hicle.
IBecause the TEMPORARY USE ONLY
spare tire is smaller than the original
tire, ground clearance is reduced. To
avoid damage to the vehicle do not
drive over obstacles. Also do not
drive the vehicle through an auto-
matic car wash since it may get
caught.
