Check the inflation pressure of the
compact spare tire every time you
check the other tires. It should be
inflated to:
Follow these precautions:
Never exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
Do not mount snow chains on a
compact spare.
Do not use your compact spare
tire on another vehicle unless it is
the same make and model.
Use the compact spare tire as a
temporary replacement only. Get
your regular tire repaired or replaced,
and put it back on your vehicle as
soon as you can.
This tire gives a harsher ride and
less traction on some road
surfaces. Use greater caution
while driving.
If you store a full size tire on the
hoist, remove the spacer.
Otherwise the hoist will not fully
return to its original position.
Replace the tire when you can see
the tread wear indicator bars. The
replacement should be the same size
and design tire, mounted on the
same wheel. The spare tire is not
designed to be mounted on a regular
wheel, and the spare wheel is not
designed for mounting a regular tire.
The low tire pressure indicator
comes on and stays on after you
replace the flat tire with the compact
spare tire. After several miles
(kilometers) driving with the
compact spare tire, the TPMS
indicator comes on and the low tire
pressure indicator goes off.
After the flat tire is replaced with the
spare tire, the low tire pressure/
TPMS indicator stays on. After
several miles (kilometers) driving
with the spare, this indicator begins
to flash, then stays on again. You will
also see a ‘‘CHECK TPMS
SYSTEM’’ message on the multi-
information display (see page
). 430
