The usage of a full-size dissimilar spare tire/wheel can lead to

impairment of the following:

• Handling, stability and braking performance

• Comfort and noise

• Ground clearance and parking at curbs

• Winter weather driving capability

• Wet weather driving capability

• All-Wheel driving capability (if applicable)

• Load leveling adjustment (if applicable)

When driving with the full-size dissimilar spare tire/wheel additional

caution should be given to:

• Towing a trailer

• Driving vehicles equipped with a camper body

• Driving vehicles with a load on the cargo rack

Drive cautiously when using a full-size dissimilar spare tire/wheel and

seek service as soon as possible.

Tire change procedure

Note:The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) indicator light will

illuminate when the spare is in use. To restore the full functionality of

the TPMS system, all road wheels equipped with the tire pressure

monitoring sensors must be mounted on the vehicle

Have a flat tire serviced by an authorized dealer in order to prevent damage

to the TPMS sensor, refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in

the Tires, Wheels, and Loading chapter. Replace the spare tire with a road

tire as soon as possible. During the repairing or replacing of the flat tire,

have the authorized dealer inspect the TPMS sensor for damage.

When one of the front wheels is off the ground, the transmission

alone will not prevent the vehicle from moving or slipping off the

jack, even if the vehicle is in P (Park).

To help prevent the vehicle from moving when you change a tire,

be sure the parking brake is set, then block (in both directions)

the wheel that is diagonally opposite (other side and end of the

vehicle) to the tire being changed.
