WARNING! (Continued)
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.
Full Size Spare – If Equipped
The full size spare is for temporary emergency
use only. This tire may look like the originally
equipped tire on the front or rear axle of your
vehicle, but it is not. This spare tire may have
limited tread life. When the tread is worn to the
tread wear indicators, the temporary use full
size spare tire needs to be replaced. Since it is
not the same as your original equipment tire,
replace (or repair) the original equipment tire
and reinstall on the vehicle at the first opportu-
nity.
Limited-Use Spare – If Equipped
The limited-use spare tire is for temporary
emergency use only. This tire is identified by a
label located on the limited-use spare wheel.
This label contains the driving limitations for this
spare. This tire may look like the original
equipped tire on the front or rear axle of your
vehicle, but it is not. Installation of this limited-
use spare tire affects vehicle handling. Since it
is not the same as your original equipment tire,
replace (or repair) the original equipment tire
and reinstall on the vehicle at the first opportu-
nity.
WARNING!
Limited-use spares are for emergency use
only. Installation of this limited-use spare tire
affects vehicle handling. With this tire, do not
drive more than the speed listed on the
limit-use spare wheel. Keep inflated to the
cold tire inflation pressures listed on your
Tire and Loading Information Placard lo-
cated on the driver’s side B-Pillar or the rear
edge of the driver’s side door. Replace (or
repair) the original equipment tire at the first
opportunity and reinstall it on your vehicle.
Failure to do so could result in loss of vehicle
control.
Tire Spinning
When stuck in mud, sand, snow, or ice condi-
tions, do not spin your vehicle’s wheels above
30 mph (48 km/h) or for longer than 30 seconds
continuously without stopping when you are
stuck.
Refer to “Freeing A Stuck Vehicle” in “What To
Do In Emergencies” for further information.
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous.
Forces
generated by excessive wheel
speeds may cause tire damage or failure. A
tire could explode and injure someone. Do
not spin your vehicle’s wheels faster than
30 mph (48 km/h) for more than 30 seconds
continuously when you are stuck, and do not
let anyone near a spinning wheel, no matter
what the speed.
Tread Wear Indicators
Tread wear indicators are in the original equip-
ment tires to help you in determining when your
tires should be replaced.
