CHANGING THE TIRES

If you get a flat tire while driving,

do not apply the brake heavily.

Instead, gradually decrease your

speed. Hold the steering wheel

firmly and slowly move to a safe

place on the side of the road.

The temporary spare tire

Your vehicle has a temporary spare

tire. The temporary spare tire for

your vehicle is labeled as such. It is

smaller than a regular tire and is

designed for emergency use only.

Replace this tire with a fullĆsize tire

as soon as possible.

If you use the temporary

spare tire continuously or

do not follow these precautions,

the tire could fail, causing you to

lose control of the vehicle,

possibly injuring yourself or

others.
