Spare tire with turning direction indica-
tors (some models)
The spare tires with turning direction
indicators are directional and intended
to be used so that they turn in the
same direction as the turning direction
indicators.
Installing the wheel on the driver side of
the vehicle will not affect tire performance.
If the spare tire is used on the driver side
of the vehicle, it should be used only
temporarily and then replaced with the
correct one.

Compact spare tire
The compact spare tire is designed for
temporary emergency use only.
The compact spare tire is identified by the
distinctive wheel design and color and
special wording "TEMPORARY USE ONLY"
molded into the side wall of the tire.
The compact spare tire saves space in
your trunk or luggage compartment, and
its lighter weight helps to improve fuel
economy and permits easier installation in
case of a flat tire.
The compact spare tire can be used many
times, if necessary. It has tread life of up
to 4800 km (3000 miles) depending on
road conditions and your driving habits.
When tread wear indicators appear on the
tire, replace the tire.
See also the tire section in Section 7−2
for details on the tread wear indicators
and other service information.
