Compact Spare Tire – If Equipped

The compact spare is for temporary emergency use only.
You can identify if your vehicle is equipped with a
compact spare by looking at the spare tire description on
the Tire and Loading Information Placard located on the
driver’s side door opening or on the sidewall of the tire.
Compact spare tire descriptions begin with the letter “T”
or “S” preceding the size designation. Example: T145/

Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a

Do not install more than one compact spare tire and
wheel on the vehicle at any given time
