Compact Spare Tire

Your car has a compact spare tire

that takes up less space. Use this

spare tire as a temporary replace-

ment only. Get your regular tire

repaired or replaced and put back on

your car as soon as you can.

Check the inflation pressure of the

compact spare tire every time you

check the other tires. It should be

inflated to:

60 psi (420 kPa)

Follow these precautions whenever

you are using the compact spare tire:

Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h)

under any circumstances.

This tire gives a harsher ride and

less traction on some road sur-

faces than the regular tire. Use

greater caution while driving on

this tire.

Do not mount snow chains on the

compact spare.

The wheel of the compact spare

tire is designed especially to fit

your car. Do not use your spare

tire on another vehicle unless it is

the same make and model.

INDICATOR LOCATION MARK

The compact spare tire has a shorter

tread life than a regular tire. Replace

it 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 compact spare tire is not

designed to be mounted on a regular

wheel, and the compact wheel is not

designed for mounting a regular tire.
