In case of emergency/Maintenance tools

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. The correct pressure is
as follows.
Mexico models: 33 psi (230 kPa, 2.3
kgf/cm2)
Other models: 60 psi (420 kPa, 4.2
kgf/cm2)
When using the temporary spare tire, note
the following.
. 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.

differential to the manual mode and adjust
the initial LSD torque to the minimum.
