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.

The compact spare tire was fully
inflated when the vehicle was new,
but it can lose air after a time.
Check the inflation pressure
regularly. See Vehicle Load Limits
on page 9‑22
for the correct
inflation pressure.

Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph)
when driving with a spare tire.

The spare tire is for temporary
emergency use only. Replace it with
a regular tire as soon as possible.

Notice: When the compact 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 vehicle.

Do not use the temporary spare on
other vehicles.

Do not mix the temporary spare tire
or wheel with other wheels or tires.
They will not fit. Keep the spare tire
and its wheel together.

Notice: Tire chains will not fit the
compact spare. Using them can
damage the vehicle and can
damage the chains too. Do not
use tire chains on the compact
