WARNING
Vehicle equipped with 225/65R17
tires have a spare wheel and tire that
are a different size than the wheels
and tires on the vehicle. The spare
wheel and tire on these vehicles are
intended for temporary emergency
use only. The wheel is painted yellow
to remind you that the wheel and tire
are for temporary use only. Continu-
ous use of this spare can result in tire
failure and loss of control. Always
observe these precautions when
using this spare:
• Be aware that your vehicle will han-
dle differently with this temporary
spare.
• Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph)
speed.
• Replace the temporary spare with a
standard tire and wheel as soon as
possible.
• Do not operate your vehicle in “4H
LOCK” or “4L LOCK” with this tem-
porary spare.
• Do not use tire chains on the spare
tire. If you must use tire chains,
rearrange the wheels so standard
tires and wheels are fitted to the
rear axle.
