and is designed for emergency use only. Replace this
tire with a full-size tire as soon as possible.
Installing a tire on either or both sides of the driven
axle that is of a different size than the original road
tire is not recommended since this will affect the
accuracy of the speedometer and odometer. If
different size tires must be installed, it is important
that all four be the same size.
If one or more tires of the four are of a
different size, the ABS and traction control
system (if equipped) may not function correctly or
may not function at all. The temporary spare
supplied with the vehicle is the only different size
tire that should ever be installed.
If you use the temporary spare tire
continuously or do not follow these
precautions, the tire could fail, causing you to lose
control of the vehicle, possibly injuring yourself or
others.
When driving with the temporary spare tire do not:
• use more than one temporary spare tire at a time
• exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) or drive further than
3,200 km (2,000 miles) total under any
circumstances
• load the vehicle beyond maximum vehicle load
rating listed on the tire pressure label on the
driver’s side b-pillar
• tow a trailer
• use tire chains
• drive through an automatic car wash, because of
the vehicle’s reduced ground clearance
• try to repair the temporary spare tire or remove it
from its wheel
• use the wheel for any other type of vehicle
Use of a temporary spare tire at any one wheel
location can lead to impairment of the following:
