SPARE TIRE
The temporary spare tire is only for an emergency. Do not
use it for normal driving. The spare tire should be replaced
with a regular tire as soon as possible.
Check the tire conditions and pressure as needed and al-
ways keep it available. For replacing procedures, refer to "In
Case of Emergency" section in this manual.
CAUTION
• After replacing the tire, be sure to adjust the pressure to the speci-
fied pressure of the tire. Otherwise, the suspension system and
driving system may be damaged.
• Keep the vehicle speed below 80 km/h if the spare tire is fitted.

WINTER TIRE
Use snow tires when driving on snowy or icy roads.
If winter tires are used, they must be installed to all 4 wheels.
WARNING
• Drive very slowly with extra caution on snowy or icy roads.
• The snow tire with arrow direction markings on its side wall
should be installed according to the arrow direction.
• The snow tires cannot guarantee your safety on icy and slip-
pery road. Drive with extra caution, avoiding sudden acceleration,
braking or movements of the steering wheel.
• When the snow tires are not needed anymore, replace them with
ordinary tires. Keep the removed snow tires in a cool and shady
place. Be careful not to contact them with any oil, grease, or fuel.
TIRE CHAIN
Chains must be installed on the rear wheels only.
CAUTION
• If you have to install the chains on the front wheels, drive cau-
tiously and avoid severe turns to prevent the surrounding parts
from being damaged.
• In part time transfer case equipped vehicle, do not use 4WD mode
when the snow chain is installed only on the rear tire. It may dam-
age the driving system. If you want to use the 4WD mode, install
the snow chains on all tires.
