Changing a Tire
If you get a flat tire while you are driving, do not
apply the brake heavily. Instead, gradually decrease
the speed. Hold the steering wheel firmly and
slowly move to a safe place on the side of the road.
Park on a level spot, turn off the ignition, set the
parking brake, and turn on the hazard flashers.
The Temporary Spare Tire
You may have a high pressure temporary spare tire.
This spare tire is smaller than a regular tire and is
designed for emergency use only. Use it only when
you get a flat tire and replace it as soon as you can.
This spare tire is marked with the words
"TEMPORARY USE ONLY" so that you can easily
identify it.
WARNING
If you use the temporary spare tire
continuously or do not follow these
precautions, the tire could fail, causing
you to lose control of the vehicle,
possibly injuring yourself or others.
When you drive with the temporary spare tire,
DO NOT:
exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) under any
circumstances.
load your vehicle so that it is heavier than the
maximum vehicle load rating listed on the tire
decal.
tow a trailer.
try to repair the temporary spare tire or remove
it from its wheel.
