In case of emergency / Maintenance tools 9-3
CAUTION
Never use any temporary spare tire other than the original . Using other sizes may result in severe mechanical damage to the drive train of your vehicle .
The temporary spare tire is smaller and lighter than a conventional tire and is designed for emergency use only . Remove the temporary spare tire and reinstall the conventional tire as soon as possible because the spare tire is designed only for temporary use .
Check the inflation pressure of the temporary spare tire periodically to keep the tire ready for use . For the correct pressure , refer to “ Temporary spare tires ” F12-8 .
When using the temporary spare tire , note the following .
. Drive with caution when the temporary spare tire is installed . Avoid hard acceleration and braking , or fast cornering , as control of the vehicle may be lost .
. Do not exceed 50 mph ( 80 km / h ).
. Do not put a tire chain on the temporary spare tire . Because of the smaller tire size , a tire chain will not fit properly .
. Do not use two or more temporary spare tires at the same time .
. Do not drive over obstacles . This tire has a smaller diameter , so road clearance is reduced .
