the conventional tyre is repaired, which
should be as soon as possible.
Refer to Tyres on page 9-10.
CAUTION
l
Do not use your temporary spare tyre
rim with a snow tyre or a
conventional tyre. Neither will
properly fit and could damage both
tyre and rim.
l
The temporary spare tyre has a tread
life of less than 5,000 km (3,000
miles). The tread life may be shorter
depending on driving conditions.
l
The temporary spare tyre is for
limited use, however, if the tread
wear solid-band indicator appears,
replace the tyre with the same type
of temporary spare (page 6-48).
qReplacing a Wheel

dangerous. Braking and handling
could be affected, leading to loss of
control and an accident.

Tyre fit
l
Wheel and bearing life
l
Ground clearance

When replacing a wheel, make sure the
new one is the same as the original factory

vibration and uneven wear, such as
cupping and flat spots.
