CAUTION

Never use any temporary spare tire

other than the original. Using other

sizes may result in severe mechan-

ical 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. Re-

move the temporary spare tire and re-

install the conventional tire as soon as

possible because the spare tire is de-

signed only for temporary use.

Check the inflation pressure of the tem-

porary spare tire periodically to keep the

tire ready for use. For the correct tire

pressure, refer to “Tires” �P566.

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.

1) Tread wear indicator bar

2) Indicator location mark

. 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.

& Changing a Flat Tire

s09ac01

WARNING

. Use only the jack and the jack

handle provided with your vehi-

cle. The jack supplied with the

vehicle is designed only for chan-

ging a tire. Never get under the

vehicle while supporting the ve-

hicle with this jack.

. Do not jack up the vehicle on an

incline or a loose road surface.

The jack can come out of the

jacking point or sink into the

ground and this can result in

serious injury or death.

. Before jacking up the vehicle, be

sure that there are no occupants

or cargo on board.

. Do not jack up the vehicle with an

object on or underneath the jack.

The jack can be unstable and this

can result in a severe accident.

. Always turn off the engine before

raising the flat tire off the ground

using the jack. Never swing or

push the vehicle supported with

the jack. The jack can come out of

the jacking point due to a jolt and

this can result in serious injury or

death.

. All passengers must exit the

vehicle before you raise it with

the jack. Raising the vehicle with

someone inside of it could result

in serious injury or death.

. Do not start the vehicle while it is

supported by the jack. Doing so

could result in serious injury or

death.

CAUTION

Do not hit and bend the disc rotor

backing plate when removing and

installing the tire. A bent backing

plate may scrape against the disc

rotor and cause noise while the

vehicle is in motion.
