The spare wheel is a Temporary Spare and
can be used to temporarily replace a punc-
tured tire on one of the vehicle's regular
wheels.
The spare tire is only intended for temporary
use. Replace it with a normal wheel as soon as
possible.
After inflating a tire, always replace the
valve cap to help prevent valve damage

tightened. Tighten to 140 Nm (103 ft. lbs.).
Use a torque wrench to check torque.
Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps
could corrode and become difficult to
remove.
The driving characteristics of the vehicle
change and ground clearance reduces when
the spare wheel is used. Do not wash the vehi-
cle in an automatic car wash while using the
Temporary Spare.

WARNING
Current legislation prohibits the use of the
"Temporary Spare" tire other than as a
temporary replacement for a punctured
tire. It must be replaced as soon as possi-
ble by a standard tire. Road holding and
handling may be affected with the "Tempo-
rary Spare" in use. Do not drive faster than
80 km/h (50 mph).
WARNING
The wheel bolts may need to be tightened
again several days after a wheel change.
Temperature fluctuations and vibrations
can cause them to loosen slightly.

Handling spare tires
Follow these instructions regarding handling
the spare wheel.
WARNING
The vehicle must never be driven with
more than one "Temporary Spare" tire
mounted.
The vehicle must not be driven with wheels
of different dimensions or with a spare tire
other than the one that came with the vehi-
cle. The use of different size wheels can
seriously damage your vehicle's transmis-
sion.

•
Driving with a spare wheel may alter
the driving characteristics of the vehi-
cle. Replace the spare wheel with a
normal wheel as soon as possible.
The spare wheel is smaller than the
normal wheel, which affects the vehi-
cle's ground clearance. Watch for high
curbs and do not wash the vehicle in
an automatic car wash when a spare
wheel is mounted.
