Thoroughly clean the inner side of the wheels any time
you rotate the wheels or wash the vehicle underside.
Spare wheel
(except Sport Package)
The use of retread tires is not recommended. Retread
tires may adversely affect the handling characteristics
and safety of the vehicle.
The spare wheel rim size is 8
1
/4 J x 17 H2.
In the case of a flat tire, or breakdown, you may
temporarily use the spare wheel.
Dented or bent rims can cause tire pressure loss and
damage to the tire beads. For this reason, check rims for
damage at regular intervals. The rim flanges must be
checked for wear before a tire is mounted. Remove
burrs, if any.
Unidirectional tires must always be mounted with arrow
on tire sidewall pointing in direction of vehicle forward
movement.
If the arrow on tire sidewall does not point in direction
of vehicle forward movement when using the spare
wheel, observe the following restrictions:
Check and ensure proper tire inflation pressure after
rotating the wheels. For tire inflation pressure see
page 234.
•
Drive to the nearest repair facility to have the flat
tire repaired or replaced as appropriate.
•
Do not operate vehicle with more than one spare
wheel mounted.
For additional information, refer to page 273.
Warning!
The spare wheel rim is for temporary use only. Use
for over a total of 12 000 miles (20 000 km)
(aggregate of all uses) may cause wheel rim failure
leading to an accident and possible injuries.
