CHANGING THE TIRES
If you get a flat tire while 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.
The use of tire sealants is not recommended and may damage
your tires.
Spare tire information
Your vehicle may be equipped with a conventional spare tire that may be
different in size (smaller diameter and narrower width) than other tires
on your vehicle. This tire will have a “Caution ”label on the wheel (rim).
Some 4x2 models may have a “mini-spare ”tire. This tire will have the
words “Temporary Use Only ”molded into the tire sidewall. These spare
tires are considered “temporary ”. Replace the temporary tire with a tire
of the same size, speed rating and load carrying capacity as the other
road tires as soon as possible
