Spare Tire

Your vehicle, when new, had a fully-inflated spare
tire. A spare tire may lose air over time, so check its
inflation pressure regularly. See Inflation - Tire
Pressure on page 567 and Loading Your Vehicle on
page 428 for information regarding proper tire
inflation and loading your vehicle. For instruction on
how to remove, install or store a spare tire, see
Removing the Flat Tire and Installing the Spare Tire
on page 592 and Storing a Flat or Spare Tire and
Tools on page 602.

Notice: If your vehicle has four-wheel drive
and the different size spare tire is installed on
your vehicle, do not drive in four-wheel
drive until you can have your flat tire repaired
and/or replaced. You could damage your
vehicle, and the repair costs would not be
covered by your warranty. Never use
four-wheel drive when the different size spare
tire is installed on your vehicle.
Your vehicle may have a different size spare tire
than the road tires originally installed on your
vehicle. This spare tire was developed for use on
your vehicle, so it is all right to drive on it. If
your vehicle has four-wheel drive and the different
size spare tire is installed, keep the vehicle in
two-wheel drive.
After installing the spare tire on your vehicle, you
should stop as soon as possible and make
sure the spare tire is correctly inflated. Have the
damaged or flat road tire repaired or replaced
as soon as you can and installed back onto your
vehicle. This way, the spare tire will be available
in case you need it again.
