Spare Tire

SPARE TIRE

A compact (temporary) spare tire and wheel assembly is standard equipment on most models of this vehicle. A full-size spare is not available on most models.

Select Export vehicles are equipped with the TIREFIT tire repair kit as standard equipment in place of a spare tire. It is to be used to repair small punctures in the tire as necessary. A compact spare tire is optional on select Export Vehicles. For additional information, refer to the Owners Manual.

A full-size spare is used on fleet vehicles equipped with the Police Package. This tire and wheel assembly is identical to the heavy duty steel wheels and tires mounted on the vehicle. It mounts to a special full-size spare mounting bracket located in the luggage compartment.

The spare tire and wheel diameters and wheel offsets match those of the road wheels on the vehicle.

The compact (temporary) spare tire is designed for emergency use only. The original tire should be repaired or replaced at the first opportunity, then reinstalled. Do not exceed speeds of 80 km/h (50 mph) when using the compact (temporary) spare tire and wheel assembly. Refer to the Owner's Manual for complete details.
