Vehicle Care

And do not mix the compact spare
tire or wheel with other wheels or
tires. They will not fit. Keep the
spare tire and its wheel together.

The All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system
will be automatically disabled
when you use the compact spare.
To restore the AWD and prevent
excessive wear on the clutch in your
AWD, replace the compact spare
tire with a full-size tire as soon as
possible.

Notice:

Tire chains will not fit the

compact spare. Using them can
damage the vehicle and can
damage the chains too. Do not
use tire chains on the compact
spare.

WARNING

Batteries can hurt you. They can
be dangerous because:

They contain acid that can
burn you.

.

They contain gas that can
explode or ignite.

They contain enough
electricity to burn you.

If you do not follow these steps
exactly, some or all of these
things can hurt you.

not have a 12-volt system with a
negative ground, both vehicles
can be damaged.
