●
Clean the inner side of the wheels when
the wheel is changed or the underside of
the vehicle is washed.
●
Do
not
use
abrasive
cleaners
when
washing the wheels.

Spare tire
Your vehicle may be equipped with a TEM-
PORARY USE ONLY spare tire.
To avoid property damage or personal injury
when using the TEMPORARY USE ONLY
spare tire, observe the following cautions:
WARNING
●
The spare tire should be used for
emergency use only. It should be
replaced by the standard tire at the
first opportunity to avoid possible
tire or differential damage.
●
Drive
carefully
while
the
TEMPO-
RARY USE ONLY spare tire is in-
stalled.
Avoid
sharp
turns
and
abrupt braking while driving.
●
Periodically check spare tire infla-
tion pressure. Always keep the pres-
sure of the T135/70D16 spare tire at
60 psi (420 kPa, 4.2 bar). Always
keep the pressure of the P235/70R15
spare tire at 26 psi (180 kPa, 1.8 bar).
●
Do not drive the vehicle at speeds
faster than 50 MPH (80 km/h).
●
When driving on roads covered with
snow or ice, the TEMPORARY USE
ONLY spare tire should be used on
the front wheels and the original tire
used
on
the
rear
wheels
(drive
wheels). Use tire chains only on the
two rear original tires.
●
Tire tread of the TEMPORARY USE
ONLY spare tire will wear at a faster
rate than the standard tire. Replace
the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare
tire as soon as the tread wear indi-
cators appear.
●
Do not use the TEMPORARY USE
ONLY spare tire on other vehicles.
●
Do not use more than one TEMPO-
RARY USE ONLY spare tire at the
same time.
●
Do not tow a trailer when the TEM-
PORARY
USE
ONLY
T135/70D16
spare is installed.
CAUTION
●
The transfer control lever must
be in the 2H position to prevent the
transfer case and differential gears
from being damaged.
●
Do not use tire chains on a TEMPO-
RARY
USE
ONLY
spare
tire.
Tire
chains will not fit properly on a TEM-
PORARY USE ONLY spare tire and
may cause damage to the vehicle.
●
Because the TEMPORARY USE ONLY
spare tire is smaller than the original
tire, ground clearance is reduced. To
avoid damage to the vehicle, do not
drive
over
obstacles.
Also,
do
not
drive the vehicle through an automatic
car wash since it might get caught.
