an emergency.

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.

cause the wheel bolts to loosen and the
tire to fall off, resulting in death or serious
injury.

bolts or their contact surface on the
wheel
.

Doing so may cause the wheel bolts to
be tightened excessively, leading to
damage to the wheel bolts, the
threaded portion the wheel bolts install
to
, or the wheel.

Also, the wheel bolts may come loose,
possibly leading to the wheel coming
off, causing a serious accident.
If oil or grease is attached to either of
these parts, remove it.
