VEHICLE CARE 425
The vehicle may have a different size
spare tire than the road tires originally
installed on the vehicle. This spare tire
was developed for use on this vehicle,
so it is all right to drive on it. If the
vehicle has four-wheel drive and a
different size spare tire is installed,
drive only in two-wheel drive.
After installing the spare tire on the
vehicle, stop as soon as possible and
check that the spare is correctly
inflated. The spare tire is made to
perform well at speeds up to
112 km/h (70 MPH) at the
recommended inflation pressure, so
you can finish your trip.
Have the damaged or flat road tire
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. Do
not mix tires and wheels of difference
sizes, because they will not fit. Keep
the spare tire and its 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
