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:

• use more than one temporary spare tire at a time

• exceed 80 km/h (50 mph)

• 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

Use of a temporary spare tire at any one wheel location can lead to

impairment of the following:

• handling, stability and braking performance

• comfort and noise

• ground clearance and parking at curbs

• Winter driving capability

Tire change procedure

1. Park on a level surface, activate hazard flashers and set parking brake.

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

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

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

To 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.
