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.   5 5 1 )
■After  completing  the  tire  change  (vehicles  with  the  tire  pressu re
warning system)
The tire pressure warni ng system must be reset. ( P. 433)
■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 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. 563)
Maximum cold tire inflation pressure ( P. 563)
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. 435)
An all  season tire  has  “M+S”  on the sidewall. A tire not marked  “M+S”
is a summer tire.
