Spare Tire
Your vehicle is equipped with a 15” spare tire. 
Although the spare tire was fully inflated when your
vehicle was new, it can lose air after a time. Check the
inflation pressure regularly.
After installing the spare tire on your vehicle, you
should stop as soon as possible and make sure your
spare tire is correctly inflated. See “Inflation 
-
 Tire
Pressure” and “Loading Your Vehicle” in the Index.
Your spare tire is for temporary use and should be
replaced with a full
-
size tire as soon as you can.
CAUTION:
If you have a spare tire that has “195/65R15” 
on its side, your braking and handling can be
reduced if you drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h)
when this spare tire is mounted on your vehicle.
At higher speeds, you could lose control of your
vehicle, and you and others could be injured. 
So, be sure not to drive more than 50 mph 
(80 km/h) when you are using this spare tire.
