In the case of a flat tire or breakdown, you may
temporarily use the spare wheel.
Unidirectional tires must always be mounted with arrow
on tire sidewall pointing in direction of vehicle forward
movement. If the arrow on tire sidewall does not point
in direction of vehicle forward movement when using
the spare wheel, observe the following restrictions:
• Do not exceed vehicle speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
• Drive to the nearest repair facility to have the flat
tire repaired or replaced as appropriate.
• Do not operate vehicle with more than one spare
wheel mounted.

Warning!
The spare wheel rim is for temporary use only. Use
for over a total of 12 000 miles (20 000 km) may
cause wheel rim failure leading to an accident and
possible injuries.
The dimensions of the spare wheel are different
from those of road wheels. As a result, the vehicle
handling characteristics change when driving with
a mounted spare wheel.
The spare wheel should only be used temporarily,
and replaced with a regular road wheel as quickly
as possible.
