CHANGING THE TIRES
If you get a flat tire while driving, do not apply the brake heavily.
Instead, gradually decrease your speed. Hold the steering wheel firmly
and slowly move to a safe place on the side of the road.
Temporary spare tire information
Your vehicle may have a temporary or conventional spare tire. 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. Replace this tire
with a conventional tire as soon as possible.
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
use the wheel for any other type of vehicle
Spare tire information
Your vehicle is equipped with a spare tire that must be used for
emergencies only. Vehicles equipped with 169 tires have a 159 spare tire.
Vehicles equipped with self-sealing tires do not have a self-sealing spare.
