Check the air pressure of the
compact spare tire every time you
check the other tires. It should be
inflated to:

Replace the tire when you can see
the tread wear indicator bars. The
replacement tire should be the same
size and design, 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.

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.

Follow these precautions:

Never exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).

This tire gives a harsher ride and
less traction on some road
surfaces. Use greater caution
while driving.

Do not mount snow chains on the
compact spare tire.

Do not use your compact spare
tire on another vehicle unless it is
the same make and model.

Do not place the flat tire, a full size
tire of any kind, or a compact
spare from another vehicle in the
spare tire holder. Damage to the
holder could result.

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.
