t Temporary spare tire
Inspect the temporary spare tire at least
monthly to make sure it’s properly
inflated and stored. Refer to the Federal
Motor
V
ehicle Safety
Standard Label for
appropriate cold pressure. This label is
located on the driver’s door pillar.
The
temporary spare
tire is easier to han
-
dle
because of its construction. It is lighter
and
smaller than a conventional tire and
should be used only for an emergency
and only for a short distance.
Use
the
temporary only until the conven
-
tional
tire is repaired, which should be
as
soon as possible.
Don’t use a temporary tire in your tire
rotation pattern.
