CAUTION
n
Replacing a flat tire
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of death or serious
injury.
l
Do not try to remove the wheel ornament by hand. Take due care in
handling the ornament to avoid unexpected personal injury.
l
Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
Oil and grease may cause the wheel nuts to be excessively tightened,
leading to bolt or disc wheel damage. In addition, the oil or grease can
cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel may fall off, causing a
serious accident. Remove any oil or grease from the wheel bolts or
wheel nuts.
l
Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 76 ft•lbf (103
N•m, 10.5 kgf•m) as soon as possible after changing wheels.
Failure to follow these precautions could cause the nuts to loosen and
the wheels may fall off, which could lead to an accident causing death
or serious injury.
l
Do not attach a heavily damaged wheel ornament, as it may fly off the
wheel while the vehicle is moving.
n
When using the compact spare tire
l
Remember that your spare tire is specifically designed for use with
your vehicle. Do not use your spare tire on another vehicle.
l
Do not use two spare tires simultaneously.
l
Replace the compact spare tire with a standard tire as soon as possi-
ble.
l
Avoid sudden acceleration, deceleration and braking, as well as sharp
cornering.
n
Speed limit when using the compact spare tire
Do not drive at speeds in excess of 50 mph (80 km/h) when a compact
spare tire is installed on the vehicle.
The compact spare tire is not designed for driving at high speeds. Failing
to observe this precaution may lead to an accident causing death or seri-
ous injury.
