The use of tire sealants is not recommended and may
compromise the integrity of your tires. The use of tire sealants

may also affect your tire pressure monitoring system (if equipped).

Spare tire information

Your vehicle is equipped with a spare tire that may be used as a spare or
a regular tire. The spare tire wheel may not match the road wheel, and is
not equipped with wheel trim. The wheel trim from the wheel/tire may
be used on the spare if the wheels match.

If your vehicle is equipped with 4WD, a spare tire of a different
size than the road tires should not be used. Use of such a tire

could result in damage to driveline components and an increased risk
of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury or death.

If your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring
system, refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (if equipped)

in the Maintenance and specifications section for important information
before changing your tires. If the tire pressure monitoring system
becomes damaged, it will no longer function.

locations:
