364 STARTING AND OPERATING WARNING! (Continued) • Temporary-use spare tires have limited tread life. When the tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the temporary use spare tire needs to be replaced. • Be sure to follow the warnings that apply to your spare. Failure to do so could result in spare tire failure and loss of vehicle control. Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conventional tire on the compact spare wheel, since the wheel is designed specifically for the compact spare. Do not install more than one compact spare tire/wheel on the vehicle at any given time. CAUTION! Because of the reduced ground clearance, do not take your vehicle through an automatic car wash with the compact 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 faster than 30 mph (48 km/h), or continuously for longer than 30 seconds, without stopping. Refer to "Freeing A Stuck Vehicle" in Section 6 of this manual for additional information.
