Warning!
The dimensions of the spare wheel
(Minispare or collapsible tire) are different
from those of the road wheels. As a result,
the vehicle handling characteristics change
when driving with a spare wheel mounted.
The Minispare wheel and collapsible tire
should only be used temporarily, and re-
placed with a regular road wheel as quickly
as possible.
In the case of a flat tire, you may tempo-
rarily use the spare wheel when observing
the following restrictions:
Do not exceed a vehicle speed of
50 mph (80 km/h).
Drive to the nearest tire repair facility
to have the flat tire repaired or re-
placed as appropriate.
Do not operate vehicle with more than
one spare wheel mounted.
