In case of emergency

In case of emergency

If you park your vehicle in

case of an emergency

The hazard warning flasher should be

used in day or night to warn other drivers

when you have to park your vehicle under

emergency conditions.

Avoid stopping on the road. It is best to

safely pull off the road if a problem occurs.
The hazard warning flasher can be acti-

vated regardless of the ignition switch po-

sition.

Turn on the hazard warning by pushing

the hazard warning flasher switch. Turn it

off by pushing the switch again.

NOTE

When the hazard warning flasher is on,

the turn signals do not work.

Temporary spare tire

The temporary spare tire is smaller and

lighter than a conventional tire and is de-

signed for emergency use only. Remove

the temporary spare tire and re-install the

conventional tire as soon as possible be-

cause the spare tire is designed only for

temporary use.
Check the inflation pressure of the tempo-

rary 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.

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.
