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 correct pressure is 60 psi (420 kPa, 4.2
kg/cm

2

).

When using the temporary spare tire, note the following:

D Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
D Do not put a tire chain on the temporary spare tire. Because of the
smaller tire size, a tire chain will not fit properly.
D Do not use two or more temporary spare tires at the same time.
D Do not drive over obstacles. This tire has a smaller diameter, so
road clearance is reduced.
D When the wear indicator appears on the tread, replace the tire.

NOTE

[Automatic transmission vehicle] Before driving your vehicle with
the temporary spare tire, put a spare fuse inside the FWD connector
located in the engine compartment and confirm that the Front-wheel
drive warning light comes on. The all wheel drive capability of the
vehicle has now been deactivated. After re-installing the convention-
al tire, remove the spare fuse from the FWD connector in order to
reactivate all wheel drive.
