the collapsible tire are different from those
of the road wheels. As a result, the vehicle
handling characteristics change when driv-
ing with a Minispare wheel mounted.
The spare wheel should only be used tempo-
rarily, and replaced with a regular road
wheel as quickly as possible.

Do not lower the vehicle before inflat-
ing the collapsible tire. Otherwise the
rim may be damaged.
