WHEELS AND TIRES
||
WARNING
The vehicle must never be driven with
•
more than one "Temporary Spare" tire
mounted.
Driving with a spare wheel may alter the
•
driving characteristics of the vehicle.
Replace the spare wheel with a normal
wheel as soon as possible.
The spare wheel is smaller than the nor-
•
mal wheel, which affects the vehicle's
ground clearance. Watch for high curbs
and do not wash the vehicle in an auto-
matic car wash when a spare wheel is
mounted.
Follow the manufacturer's recommended
•
tire inflation pressure for the spare wheel.
On all-wheel drive vehicles, the drive on
•
the rear axle can be disconnected.
If the spare wheel is mounted on the
•
front axle, snow chains must not be used.
The spare wheel must not be repaired.
•
CAUTION
The vehicle must not be driven with wheels of
different dimensions or with a spare tire other
than the one that came with the vehicle. The
use of different size wheels can seriously
damage your vehicle's transmission.
