The spare tire
■
The spare tire is identified by the label
●
"TEMPORARY USE ONLY" on the tire
sidewall.
Use the spare tire temporarily, and only in
●
an emergency.
●
Make sure to check the tire inflation pres-
sure of the spare tire. (P.322)
When using the spare tire
■
As the spare tire is not equipped with a tire
pressure warning valve and transmitter, low
inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be
indicated by the tire pressure warning sys-
tem. Also, if you replace the spare tire after
the tire pressure warning light comes on,
the light remains on.
