Temporary spare tire

The temporary spare tire is smaller and lighter than a

conventional tire and is designed for emergency use

only. Remove the temporary spare tire and re-install

the conventional tire as soon as possible because the

spare tire is designed only for temporary use.

Check the inflation pressure of the temporary spare

tire periodically to keep the tire ready for use. The cor-

rect pressure is 60 psi (4.2 kg/cm

2

, 420 kPa).

When using the temporary spare tire, note the follow-

ing:
"

Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).

"

Do not put a tire chain on the temporary spare tire.

Because of the smaller tire size, a tire chain will not fit

properly.
"

Do not use two or more temporary spare tires at the

same time.
"

Do not drive over obstacles. This tire has a smaller

diameter, so road clearance is reduced.

1) Tread wear indicator bar
2) Indicator location mark

"

When the wear indicator appears on the tread, re-

place the tire.
