After installing the spare tire on your vehicle, you should
stop as soon as possible and make sure the spare is
correctly inflated. Have the damaged or flat road tire
repaired or replaced as soon as you can and installed
back onto your vehicle. This way, a spare tire will be
available in case you need it again.

Your vehicle may have a different size spare tire than
the road tire originally installed on your vehicle. This
spare tire was developed for use on your vehicle, so it
is all right to drive on it.

If your vehicle has a spare tire that does not match your
vehicle's original road tires and wheels in size and type,
do not include the spare in the tire rotation.

Appearance Care

Interior Cleaning

The interior will continue to look its best if it is cleaned
often. Although not always visible, dust and dirt can
accumulate on the upholstery. Dirt can damage carpet,
fabric, leather, and plastic surfaces. Regular vacuuming
is recommended to remove particles from the
upholstery. It is important to keep the upholstery from
becoming and remaining heavily soiled. Soils should
be removed as quickly as possible. The interior may
experience extremes of heat that could cause stains to
set rapidly.

Lighter colored interiors may require more frequent
cleaning. Use care because newspapers and garments
that transfer color to home furnishings may also transfer
color to the interior.

When cleaning the interior, only use cleaners
specifically designed for the surfaces being cleaned.
Permanent damage may result from using cleaners on
surfaces for which they were not intended. Use glass
cleaner only on glass. Remove any accidental
over-spray from other surfaces immediately. To prevent
over-spray, apply cleaner directly to the cleaning cloth.

Notice: Using abrasive cleaners when cleaning
glass surfaces on the vehicle, could scratch the
glass and/or cause damage to the rear window
defogger. When cleaning the glass on the vehicle,
use only a soft cloth and glass cleaner.

Many cleaners contain solvents that may become
concentrated in the breathing space. Before using
cleaners, read and adhere to all safety instructions on
the label. While cleaning the interior, maintain adequate
ventilation by opening the doors and windows.

Dust may be removed from small buttons and knobs
using a small brush with soft bristles.
