SPARE TIRES — IF EQUIPPED
NOTE:
For vehicles equipped with Tire Service Kit instead of a spare tire, please refer to “Tire
Service Kit” in “What To Do In Emergencies” on your DVD for further information
.
CAUTION!
Because of the reduced ground clearance, do not take your vehicle through an auto-
matic car wash with a compact or limited-use temporary spare installed
.
Damage to
the vehicle may result
.
Spare Tire Matching Original Equipped Tire And Wheel — If Equipped
Your vehicle may be equipped with a spare tire and wheel equivalent in look and func-
tion to the original equipment tire and wheel found on the front or rear axle of your
vehicle
.
This spare tire may be used in the tire rotation for your vehicle
.
If your vehicle
has this option, refer to an authorized tire dealer for the recommended tire rotation
pattern
.
Compact Spare Tire — If Equipped
The compact spare is for temporary emergency use only
.
You can identify if your vehicle
is equipped with a compact spare by looking at the spare tire description on the Tire and
Loading Information Placard located on the driver’s side door opening or on the sidewall
of the tire
.
Compact spare tire descriptions begin with the letter “T” or “S” preceding
the size designation
.
Example: T145/80D18 103M
.
T, S = Temporary Spare Tire
Since this tire has limited tread life, the original equipment tire should be repaired
(or replaced) and reinstalled on your vehicle at the first opportunity
.
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conventional tire on the compact
spare wheel, since the wheel is designed specifically for the compact spare tire
.
Do not
install more than one compact spare tire and wheel on the vehicle at any given time
.
WARNING!
Compact spares are for temporary emergency use only
.
With these spares, do not drive
more than 50 mph (80 km/h)
.
Temporary use spares have limited tread life
.
When the
tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the temporary use spare tire needs to be
replaced
.
Be sure to follow the warnings, which apply to your spare
.
Failure to do so
could result in spare tire failure and loss of vehicle control
.
