Temporary spare tire information

Your vehicle may have a temporary 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
full-size 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

Tire change procedure

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.

If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or
someone else could be seriously injured.
