Important!
In the case of a flat tire or breakdown, you may
temporarily use the wheel when observing the following
restrictions:
Do not exceed vehicle speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
Drive to the nearest repair facility to have the flat
tire repaired or replaced as appropriate.
Do not operate vehicle with more than one spare
wheel mounted.
For rim and tire specifications, see page 317.
Warning!
The spare wheel rim is for temporary use only. Use
for over a total of 12 000 miles (20 000 km)
(aggregate off all uses) may cause wheel rim failure
leading to an accident and possible injuries.
The dimensions of the spare wheel are different
from those of road wheels. As a result, the vehicle
handling characteristics change when driving with
a mounted spare wheel.
The spare wheel should only be used temporarily,
and replaced with a regular road wheel as quickly
as possible.
