SPARE TIRES — IF EQUIPPED

NOTE:
For vehicles equipped with Tire Service Kit instead of a spare tire, please refer to “Tire
Service Kit” in “What To Do In Emergencies” on your DVD for further information.

CAUTION!

Because of the reduced ground clearance, do not take your vehicle through an

automatic car wash with a compact or limited-use temporary spare installed. Damage

to the vehicle may result.

Spare Tire Matching Original Equipped Tire And Wheel — If Equipped

Your vehicle may be equipped with a spare tire and wheel equivalent in look and function

to the original equipment tire and wheel found on the front or rear axle of your vehicle. This

spare tire may be used in the tire rotation for your vehicle. If your vehicle has this option,

refer to an authorized tire dealer for the recommended tire rotation pattern.

Compact Spare Tire — If Equipped

The compact spare is for temporary emergency use only. You can identify if your vehicle

is equipped with a compact spare by looking at the spare tire description on the Tire and

Loading Information Placard located on the driver’s side door opening or on the sidewall

of the tire. Compact spare tire descriptions begin with the letter “T” or “S” preceding the

size designation. Example: T145/80D18 103M.
T, S = Temporary Spare Tire
Since this tire has limited tread life, the original equipment tire should be repaired (or

replaced) and reinstalled on your vehicle at the first opportunity.
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conventional tire on the compact spare

wheel, since the wheel is designed specifically for the compact spare tire. Do not install

more than one compact spare tire and wheel on the vehicle at any given time.
