Except all Canadian models with
automatic transmission
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.
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, 4.2 kgf/cm
2
)
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 tire chains on the
compact spare tire.
●
Do not use your compact spare tire
on another vehicle unless it is the
same make and model.
●
On vehicles with the TPMS
system, 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.
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.
