flation pressure on the yellow label located on
the Minispare wheel rim.
If the tire inflation pressure on the yellow label
on the Minispare wheel rim differs from the val-
ues given in this Operator’s Manual, inflate the
spare wheel tire to the recommended tire infla-
tion pressure given on the yellow label on the
Minispare wheel rim.

sure of the road tires.
