instructions on how to remove,
install, or store a spare tire, see Tire

the repairs would not be covered
by the warranty. Never use

size spare tire than the road tires
originally installed on the vehicle.
This spare tire was developed for

and check that the spare tire is
correctly inflated.

repaired or replaced and installed
back onto the vehicle as soon as
possible so the spare tire will be
available in case it is needed again.

different sizes, because they will not

wheel together. If the vehicle has a
spare tire that does not match the
original road tires and wheels in size
and type, do not include the spare in
the tire rotation.Jump Starting
