Flat or Spare Tire and Tools on page 5-105.
Notice:If your vehicle has four-wheel drive and the
different size spare tire is installed on your vehicle,
do not drive in four-wheel drive until you can have
your at tire repaired and/or replaced. You could
damage your vehicle, and the repair costs would not
be covered by your warranty. Never use four-wheel

your vehicle.
Your vehicle may have a different size spare tire than
the road tires originally installed on your vehicle. This

all right to drive on it. If your vehicle has four-wheel drive
and the different size spare tire is installed, keep the
