G
The dimensions of the spare wheel
(Minispare or collapsible tire) are different
from those of the road wheels. As a result,
the vehicle handling characteristics change
when driving with a spare wheel mounted.
The Minispare wheel and collapsible tire
should only be used temporarily, and re-
placed with a regular road wheel as quickly
as possible.
