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 stored under the under-floor storage compartment .
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 tire pressure , refer to “ Tires ” FP566 .
When using the temporary spare tire , note the following precautions .
. 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 . |
. When the wear indicator appears on the tread , replace the tire .
. The temporary spare tire must be used only on a rear wheel . If a front wheel tire gets punctured , replace the wheel with a rear wheel and install the temporary spare tire in place of the removed rear wheel .
