n The temporary spare tire
l Your vehicle is equipped with a temporary spare tire that may be a differ-
ent size, tread type, and/or manufacturer from the ground tires installed
on your vehicle.
l The temporary spare tire is identified by the “TEMPORARY USE ONLY”
marking on the disc wheel and/or the tire sidewall.
Use the temporary spare tire temporarily, and only in an emergency.
l Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure of the temporary spare
tire. (→P. 543)
n After completing the tire change (vehicles with the tire pressure
warning system)
The tire pressure warning system must be reset. (→P. 427)
n When using the temporary spare tire (vehicles with the tire pressure
warning system)
As the temporary spare tire is not equipped with the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter, low inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be
indicated by the tire pressure warning system. Also, if you replace the
temporary spare tire after the tire pressure warning light comes on, the
light remains on.
n If you have a flat rear tire on a road covered with snow or ice
Install the temporary spare tire on one of the front wheels of the vehicle.
Perform the following steps and fit tire chains to the rear tires:
Replace a front tire with the temporary spare tire.
Replace the flat rear tire with the tire removed from the front of the
vehicle.
Fit tire chains to the rear tires.
