COMPACT SPARE TIRE
The compact spare tire is designed to save space in the
trunk and its lighter weight makes it easier to use if a flat
tire occurs.
CAUTION!
•
The tire pressure should be periodically checked
and maintained at the specified pressure while
the tire is stowed.
•
Driving with an insufficient tire pressure can lead
to an accident. If you have no choice but to drive
with an insufficient tire pressure, keep your speed
down and adjust to the specified pressure [60 psi
(420 kPa)] as soon as possible.
•
The compact spare should only be used temporarily
and should be returned to the trunk and the original
tire repaired or replaced as soon as possible. If your
vehicle is equipped with aluminum type wheels, the
wheel nuts for aluminum type wheels can be used
temporarily on the compact spare tire wheel.
•
Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) while the com-
pact spare tire is installed on the vehicle.
