Temporary spare tire
The temporary spare tire is smaller and lighter than a conventional tire and is designed for emergency use only. Re- move the temporary spare tire and re- install the conventional tire as soon as possible because the spare tire is de- signed only for temporary use.
Check the inflation pressure of the tem- porary spare tire periodically to keep the tire ready for use. For the correct tire pressure, refer to “Temporary spare tires”
P507.
When using the temporary spare tire, note the following.
Drive with caution when the temporary spare tire is installed. Avoid hard accel- eration and braking, or fast cornering, as control of the vehicle may be lost.
Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
Do not put a tire chain on the temporary spare tire. Because of the smaller tire size, a tire chain will not fit properly.
Do not use two or more temporary spare tires at the same time.
Do not drive over obstacles. This tire has a smaller diameter, so road clearance is reduced.

When the wear indicator appears on the tread, replace the tire.
The temporary spare tire must be used only on a rear wheel. If a front wheel tire gets punctured, replace the wheel with a rear wheel and install the temporary spare tire in place of the removed rear wheel.
