This spare tire/wheel will match the road tire/wheel. When driving with

need to use it, you should replace it as soon as possible.
Tire change procedure
Note:
If your vehicle is equipped with the tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS), the system indicator light will illuminate when the spare
is in use. To restore the full functionality of the TPMS system, all road
wheels equipped with the tire pressure monitoring sensors must be
mounted on the vehicle
If your vehicle is equipped with TPMS, have a flat tire serviced by an
authorized dealer in order to prevent damage to the TPMS sensor, refer
to
Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
in the
Tires, Wheels and
Loading
chapter. Replace the spare tire with a road tire as soon as
possible.
WARNING:
When one of the front wheels is off the ground, the
transmission alone will not prevent the vehicle from moving or
slipping off the jack, even if the vehicle is in P (Park).
WARNING:
To help prevent the vehicle from moving when you
change a tire, be sure the parking brake is set, then block (in
both directions) the wheel that is diagonally opposite (other side and
end of the vehicle) to the tire being changed.
WARNING:
If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone else
could be seriously injured.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the
vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far enough off the road to
avoid the danger of being hit when operating the jack or changing the
wheel.
Note:
Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the vehicle is
being jacked.
