SPARE TIRES — IF EQUIPPED
NOTE:
For vehicles equipped with Tire Service Kit instead of a spare tire, please refer to “Tire Service Kit”
in “What To Do In Emergencies” on your DVD for further information.
CAUTION!
Because of the reduced ground clearance, do not take your vehicle through an automatic car
wash with a compact or limited-use temporary spare installed. Damage to the vehicle may
result.
Spare Tire Matching Original Equipped Tire And Wheel — If Equipped
Yo u r v e h i c l e m a y b e e q u i p p e d w i t h a s p a r e t i r e a n d w h e e l e q u i v a l e n t i n l o o k a n d f u n c t i o n t o t h e
original equipment tire and wheel found on the front or rear axle of your vehicle. This spare tire
may be used in the tire rotation for your vehicle. If your vehicle has this option, refer to an
authorized tire dealer for the recommended tire rotation pattern.
Compact Spare Tire — If Equipped
The compact spare is for temporary emergency use only. You can identify if your vehicle is
equipped with a compact spare by looking at the spare tire description on the Tire and Loading
Information Placard located on the driver’s side door opening or on the sidewall of the tire.
Compact spare tire descriptions begin with the letter “T” or “S” preceding the size designation.
Example: T145/80D18 103M.
T, S = Temporary Spare Tire
Since this tire has limited tread life, the original equipment tire should be repaired (or replaced)
and reinstalled on your vehicle at the first opportunity.
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conventional tire on the compact spare wheel,
since the wheel is designed specifically for the compact spare tire. Do not install more than one
compact spare tire and wheel on the vehicle at any given time.
WARNING!
Compact spares are for temporary emergency use only. With these spares, do not drive more
than 50 mph (80 km/h). Temporary use spares have limited tread life. When the tread is worn
to the tread wear indicators, the temporary use spare tire needs to be replaced. Be sure to
follow the warnings, which apply to your spare. Failure to do so could result in spare tire failure
and loss of vehicle control.

Full Size Spare — If Equipped
The full size spare is for temporary emergency use only. This tire may look like the originally
equipped tire on the front or rear axle of your vehicle, but it is not. This spare tire may have limited
tread life. When the tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the temporary use full size spare
tire needs to be replaced. Since it is not the same as your original equipment tire, replace
(or repair) the original equipment tire and reinstall on the vehicle at the first opportunity.
Limited-Use Spare — If Equipped
The limited-use spare tire is for temporary emergency use only. This tire is identified by a label
located on the limited-use spare wheel. This label contains the driving limitations for this spare.
This tire may look like the original equipped tire on the front or rear axle of your vehicle, but it is
not. Installation of this limited-use spare tire affects vehicle handling. Since it is not the same as
your original equipment tire, replace (or repair) the original equipment tire and reinstall on the
vehicle at the first opportunity.
WARNING!
Limited-use spares are for emergency use only. Installation of this limited-use spare tire affects
vehicle handling. With this tire, do not drive more than the speed listed on the limit-use spare
wheel. Keep inflated to the cold tire inflation pressures listed on your Tire and Loading
Information Placard located on the driver’s side B-P illar or the rear edge of the driver’s side
door. Replace (or repair) the original equipment tire at the first opportunity and reinstall it on
your vehicle. Failure to do so could result in loss of vehicle control.
ADDING FUEL
Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap)
The gas cap is located behind the fuel filler door on the left side of the vehicle. If the gas cap is lost
or damaged, be sure the replacement cap is for use with this vehicle.
When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the
fuel tank is full.
Ti g h t e n t h e g a s c a p u n t i l y o u h e a r a “ c l i c k i n g ”
sound. This is an indication that the gas cap is
properly tightened. If not properly tightened,
the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light) may
come on.
NOTE:
The driver’s side sliding door cannot be
opened while the fuel door is open.
