CHANGING THE TIRES

If you get a flat tire while driving, do not apply the brake heavily.
Instead, gradually decrease your speed. Hold the steering wheel firmly
and slowly move to a safe place on the side of the road.

Temporary spare tire information

The temporary spare tire for your vehicle is labeled as such. It is smaller
than a regular tire and is designed for emergency use only.

If you use the temporary spare tire continuously or do not follow
these precautions, the tire could fail, causing you to lose control

of the vehicle, possibly injuring yourself or others.

When driving with the temporary spare tire do not:
• exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) under any circumstances
• load the vehicle beyond maximum vehicle load rating listed on the

Safety Compliance Label

• tow a trailer
• use tire chains
• drive through an automatic car wash, because of the vehicle’s reduced

ground clearance
