When using the spare tire
■
As the spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, low
inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be indicated by the tire pressure warning sys-
tem. Also, if you replace the spare tire after the tire pressure warning light comes on, the
light remains on.
When the spare tire is equipped
■
The vehicle becomes lower when driving with the spare tire compared to when driving

■
rear tires of the same size except for vehicles with LDH and 19-inch tires)
Install the spare tire on one of the front wheels of the vehicle. Perform the following steps
and fit tire chains to the rear tires:
Replace a front tire with the spare tire.
