WARNING

on the front wheels (driving wheels):
Driving with the temporary spare tire
on one of the front driving wheels is
dangerous. Handling will be affected.
You could lose control of the vehicle,
especially on ice or snow bound
roads, and have an accident. Move a
regular tire to the front wheel and
install the temporary spare tire to the
rear.
CAUTION
Ø When using the temporary spare
tire, driving stability may decrease
compared to when using only the
conventional tire. Drive carefully.

spare tire or to the vehicle, observe
the following precautions:
Ø

mph).

automatic car wash. This tire's
diameter is smaller than a

clearance is reduced about
7 mm (0.3 in).

type of tire, including the spare
tire.

spare tire on any other vehicle,
