When trouble arises
■The temporary spare tire
●Your vehicle is equipped with a temporary spare tire that may be a differ-
ent size, tread type, and/or manufacturer from the ground tires installed
on your vehicle.
●The temporary spare tire is iden tified by the “TEMPORARY USE ON LY ”
marking on the disc wheel and/or the tire sidewall.
Use the temporary spare tire temp orarily, and only in an emergency.
●Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure of the temporary spare
tire. ( P. 6 3 7 )
■After completing the tire change (vehicles with the tire pressu re
warning system)
The tire pressure warni ng system must be reset. ( P. 523)
■When using the temporary spare tire (vehicles with the tire pre ssure
warning system)
As the temporary spare tire is no t equipped with the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter, low inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be
indicated by the tire pressure warning system. Also, if you rep lace the
temporary spare tire after the tire pressure warning light come s on, the
light remains on.
■If you have a flat rear tire on a road covered with snow or ice
Install the temporary spare tire on one of the front wheels of the vehicle.
Perform the following steps and f it tire chains to the rear tires:
Replace a front tire with the temporary spare tire.
Replace the flat rear tire with the tire removed from the front of the
vehicle.
Fit tire chains to the rear tires.

Tire size ( P. 645)
DOT and Tire Identification Number (TIN) ( P. 644)
Location of treadwear indicators ( P. 521)
Tire ply composition and materials
Plies are layers of rubber-coated parallel cords. Cords are the strands
which form the p lies in a tire.
Uniform tire quality grading
For details, see “Uniform Tire Q uality Grading” that follows.
Load limit at maximum cold tire inflation pressure ( P. 649)
Maximum cold tire inflation pressure ( P. 649)
This means the press ure to which a tire may be inflated.
TUBELESS or TUBE TYPE
A tubeless tire does not have a tube and air is directly put into the tire.
A tube type tire has a tube insi de the tire and the tube mainta ins the air
pressure.
Radial tires or bias-ply tires
A radial tire has “RADIAL” on the sidewall. A tire not marked “ RADIAL”
is a bias-ply tire.
Summer tire or all season tire ( P. 525)
An all season tire has “M+S” on the sidewall. A tire not marked “M+S”
is a summer tire.
