Battery

Driving with the space-saver

spare tire

Drive cautiously. Do not exceed a speed

of 45 mph (80 km/h).

You can anticipate changes in vehicle

handling such as delayed braking re-

sponse, longer braking distances and

changes in self-steering properties

when approaching stability limits.

The changes in handling characteristics

will be even more pronounced in con-

junction with winter tires.
