SPARE TIRES — IF EQUIPPED
CAUTION!
Because of the reduced ground clearance, do not take your vehicle through an auto-
matic car wash with a compact or limited use temporary spare installed. Damage to the
vehicle may result.
Tire Spinning
When stuck in mud, sand, snow, or ice conditions, do not spin your vehicle's wheels above
30 mph (48 km/h) or for longer than 30 seconds continuously without stopping.
Refer to “Freeing A Stuck Vehicle” in “In Case Of Emergency” for further information.
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces generated by excessive wheel speeds may
cause tire damage or failure. A tire could explode and injure someone . Do not spin
your vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) for more than 30 seconds continu-
ously when you are stuck, and do not let anyone near a spinning wheel, no matter what
the speed.
Tread Wear Indicators
Tread wear indicators are in the original equipment tires to help you in determining when
your tires should be replaced.
These indicators are molded into the bot-
tom of the tread grooves. They will appear
as bands when the tread depth becomes a
1/16 of an inch (1.6 mm). When the tread
is worn to the tread wear indicators, the
tire should be replaced. Refer to “Replace-
ment Tires” in this section for further
information.
