Temporary spare tire

information

The temporary spare tire for your

vehicle is labeled as such. It is

smaller than a regular tire and is

designed for emergency use only.

If you use the temporary

spare tire continuously or

do not follow these precautions,

the tire could fail, causing you to

lose control of the vehicle,

possibly injuring yourself or

others.

When driving with the temporary

spare tire do not:

• exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) under

any circumstances

• load the vehicle beyond

maximum vehicle load rating

listed on the Safety Compliance

Label

• tow a trailer

• use tire chains

• drive through an automatic car

wash, because of the vehicle’s

reduced ground clearance

• try to repair the temporary

spare tire or remove it from its

wheel
