Maintenance and Care
Owner Maintenance
You should replace it before the band is
across the entire tread.
qTemporary Spare Tire
Inspect the temporary spare tire at least
monthly to make sure it's properly inflated
and stored.
NOTE
The temporary spare tire condition
gradually deteriorates even if it has not
been used.
The temporary spare tire is easier to
handle because of its construction. It is
lighter and smaller than a conventional
tire and should be used only for an
emergency and only for a short distance.
Use the temporary only until the
conventional tire is repaired, which should
be as soon as possible.
Maintain its pressure at 420 kPa (4.2 kgf/
2
cm or bar, 60 psi).

CAUTION
Don't use your temporary spare tire
l
rim with a snow tire or a
conventional tire. Neither will
properly fit and could damage both
tire and rim.
The temporary spare tire has a tread
l
life of less than 5,000 km (3,000
miles). The tread life may be shorter
depending on driving conditions.
The temporary spare tire is for
l
limited use, however, if the tread
wear solid-band indicator appears,
replace the tire with the same type of
temporary spare (page 8-31).

WARNING
Using a Wrong-Sized Wheel:
Using a wrong-sized wheel is
dangerous. Braking and handling
could be affected, leading to loss of
control and an accident. Always use
wheels of the correct size on your
vehicle.
