Temporary spare tire information

Your vehicle may be equipped with a conventional spare tire that may be
different in size (smaller diameter and narrower width) than other tires
on your vehicle. If this is the case, your spare tire is considered
“temporary” and the spare wheel will be labeled as such. Replace this
tire with a tire of the same size, speed rating and load carrying capacity
as the other road tires as soon as possible.

It is not recommended that the vehicle be operated in 4WD modes with
a “temporary” (i.e. dissimilar size) spare. If 4WD operation is necessary,
do not operate above speeds of 16 km/h (10 mph) or for distances above
80 km (50 miles).

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) or drive further than 3,200 km
(2,000 miles) total under any circumstances

load the vehicle beyond maximum vehicle load rating listed on the
Safety Compliance Label

tow a trailer

use more than one temporary spare tire at a time

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

Conventional spare tire information

If you have the conventional spare tire, you can use it as a spare or a
regular tire. The spare is identical to the other tires on your vehicle,
although the wheel may not match.
