When using the spare tire
As the spare tire is not equipped with a tire
pressure warning valve and transmitter, low
inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be
indicated by the tire pressure warning sys-
tem. Also, if you replace the spare tire after
the tire pressure warning light comes on,
the light remains on.
■
When the spare tire is equipped
The vehicle becomes lower when driving
with the spare tire compared to when driv-
ing with standard tires.
■
If you have a flat rear tire on a road cov-
ered with snow or ice (vehicles with
front and rear tires of the same size
except for vehicles with LDH and
19-inch tires)
Install the spare tire on one of the front
wheels of the vehicle. Perform the following
steps and fit tire chains to the rear tires:
1 Replace a front tire with the spare tire.
2 Replace the flat rear tire with the tire
removed from the front of the vehicle.
3 Fit tire chains to the rear tires.
