on it. If the vehicle has four-wheel
drive and a different size spare tyre is
installed, only drive in two-wheel
drive.
After installing the spare tyre on the
vehicle, stop as soon as possible and
check that the spare tyre is correctly
inflated.
Have the damaged or flat road tyre
repaired or replaced and installed
back onto the vehicle as soon as
possible so the spare tyre will be
available in case it is needed again.
Do not mix tyres and wheels of
different sizes, because they will not
fit. Keep your spare tyre and its wheel
together. If the vehicle has a spare tyre
that does not match the original road
tyres and wheels in size and type, do
not include the spare in the tyre
rotation.

12-volt system with a negative
ground, both vehicles can be
damaged. Only use a vehicle that
has a 12-volt system with a
negative ground for jump starting.
2. If the vehicle is equipped with
dual batteries, using the battery
that is closer to the starter will
reduce electrical resistance. This
