WARNING

Driving with more than one
compact spare tire at a time
could result in loss of braking and
handling. This could lead to a
crash and you or others could be
injured. Use only one compact
spare tire at a time.

inflated when the vehicle was new, it
can lose air after a time. Check the
inflation pressure regularly. It should
be 414 kPa (60 psi).

After installing the compact spare
on your vehicle, you should stop as
soon as possible and make sure
your spare tire is correctly inflated.
The compact spare is intended
to perform well at speeds up to
80 km/h (50 mph), so you can finish
your trip and have your full-size tire
repaired or replaced where you
want. Replace your spare with a
full-size tire as soon as you can.

spare is installed, do not take
the vehicle through an automatic
car wash with guide rails. The
compact spare can get caught on
the rails which can damage the
tire, wheel and other parts of the

or wheel with other wheels or tires.
Keep your spare tire and its wheel
together.
