WHEELS AND TIRES
558
WARNING
•
The vehicle must never be driven with
more than one "Temporary Spare" tire
mounted.
•
Driving with a spare wheel may alter
the driving characteristics of the vehi-
cle. Replace the spare wheel with a
normal wheel as soon as possible.
•
The spare wheel is smaller than the
normal wheel, which affects the vehi-
cle's ground clearance. Watch for high
curbs and do not wash the vehicle in
an automatic car wash when a spare
wheel is mounted.
•
Follow the manufacturer's recom-
mended tire inflation pressure for the
spare wheel.
•
On all-wheel drive vehicles, the drive
on the rear axle can be disconnected.
•
If the spare wheel is mounted on the
front axle, snow chains must not be
used.
•
The spare wheel must not be repaired.
CAUTION
The vehicle must not be driven with wheels
of different dimensions or with a spare tire
other than the one that came with the vehi-
cle. The use of different size wheels can
seriously damage your vehicle's transmis-
sion.

Handling spare tires
Follow these instructions regarding handling
the spare wheel.
This illustration is generic and appearance may vary.
The spare wheel is stored in a bag and should
be secured with two straps onto the floor of
the trunk/cargo compartment when the vehi-
cle is being driven. The straps should be strap-
ped down crosswise over the wheel, attached
to the load anchoring eyelets and pulled taut.
Wheel changing tools are located under the
cargo compartment floor.
Polestar Engineered
If your vehicle is Polestar Engineered,
Temporary Spare tires will not fit on the front
wheel axle due to the larger brakes.
Tires should only be moved between the front
and back, never from right to left or vice versa.
