Avoid sharp turns and abrupt braking
while driving.

Periodically check the T-type spare
tire inflation pressure, and always
keep it at 60 psi (420 kPa, 4.2 bar).

Do not drive your vehicle at speeds
faster than 50 MPH (80 km/h).

Do not use tire chains on a T-type
spare tire. Tire chains will not fit
properly on the T-type spare tire and
may cause damage to the vehicle.

Tire tread of the T-type spare tire will
wear at a faster rate than the stan-
dard tire. Replace the T-type spare
tire as soon as the tread wear indica-
tors appear.

Because the T-type spare tire is
smaller than the original tire, ground
clearance is reduced. To avoid dam-
age to the vehicle, do not drive over
obstacles. Also, do not drive the ve-
hicle through an automatic car wash
since it may get caught.
Do not use the T-type spare tire on
other vehicles.

Do not use more than one T-type
spare tire at the same time.

Do not tow a trailer while the T-type
spare tire is installed.
