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.

exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) under any circumstances
load the vehicle beyond maximum vehicle load rating listed on the
Safety Compliance Label
tow a trailer
use tire chains
drive through an automatic car wash, because of the vehicle's reduced
ground clearance
try to repair the temporary spare tire or remove it from its wheel rim

Tire change procedure
WARNING: When one of the front wheels is off the ground, the
transmission alone will not prevent the vehicle from moving or
slipping off the jack, even if the vehicle is in P (Park)
(automatic transaxle) or R (Reverse) (manual transaxle).
WARNING: To prevent the vehicle from moving when you
change a tire, be sure the parking brake is set, then block (in
both directions) the wheel that is diagonally opposite (other
side and end of the vehicle) to the tire being changed.
WARNING: If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone
else could be seriously injured.
