CHANGING THE TIRES If you get a flat tire while driving, do not apply the brake heavily. Instead, gradually decrease your speed. Hold the steering wheel firmly and slowly move to a safe place on the side of the road. The use of tire sealants is not recommended and may compromise the integrity of your tires. Temporary spare tire information Your vehicle may have a temporary or full-size spare tire. The temporary spare tire for your vehicle is labeled as such. It is smaller than a regular tire and is designed for emergency use only. Replace this tire with a full-size tire as soon as possible. If you use the temporary spare tire continuously or do not follow these precautions, the tire could fail, causing you to lose control of the vehicle, possibly injuring yourself or others. When driving with the temporary spare tire do not: • exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) under any circumstances. • load the vehicle beyond maximum vehicle load rating listed on the Safety Compliance Label. • tow a trailer. • use tire chains. • drive through an automatic car wash, because of the vehicle's reduced ground clearance. • try to repair the temporary spare tire or remove it from its wheel. 151
