Maintenance Tools 381
When using the temporary spare tire , note the following precautions .
. 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 .
. 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 .
