Changing a Flat Tire
This tire gives a harsher ride and
less traction on some road sur-
faces than the regular tire. Use
greater caution while driving on
this tire.
The spare tire is smaller than the
regular tire, reducing your car's
ground clearance. Such things as
road debris and parking lot speed
bumps could possibly damage the
underside of your car.
Do not take your car to an auto-
matic car wash when the spare tire
is mounted. Because of the re-
duced ground clearance, the
underside of your car could be
damaged by the mechanism that
pulls the car through the car wash.
The wheel of the spare tire is
designed especially to fit your car.
Do not use your spare tire on
another car unless it is the same
make and model.
The folding spare tire cannot be
repaired. Special equipment is
required to remove it from the rim
and install a new tire. If it is
damaged, replace it with a folding
spare tire of the same design. New
spare tires are available at your
Acura dealer.
Do not mount snow chains on the
folding spare tire.
The folding spare tire has a shorter
tread life than a regular tire. Replace
it when you can see the tread wear
indicator bars. The spare tire is not
designed to be mounted on a regular
wheel, and the compact wheel is not
designed for mounting a regular tire.
