  • The temporary-use spare tyre should be used only in emergencies. It should be replaced by the standard tyre at the first opportunity.

  • Drive carefully and do not drive your vehicle faster than 80 km/h (50 MPH).

  • Avoid driving over obstacles. Also, do not take the vehicle through an automatic car wash.

  • Avoid driving sharp turns and abrupt braking.

  • Do not exceed the vehicle's maximum load rating or the load-carrying capacity molded on the sidewall of the temporary-use spare tyre.

  • Do not use a snow chain on this tyre because it will not fit properly. This could cause damage to the vehicle and result in loss of the chain.

  • Do not use the temporary-use spare tyre on any other vehicle because this tyre has been designed specifically for your vehicle.

  • The vehicle must not be driven with more than one temporary-use spare tyre at the same time.

  • Do not tow a trailer.

  • As with all tyres, the temporary-use spare tyre must be checked regularly to ensure pressure is maintained.

    For pressure details, see the tyre placard located on the driver's side centre pillar.
